reliably protected from the effects of a lightning strike
Protect Ethernet connections from overvoltage
Due to the high amperage of the electrical discharge of a lightning strike, surges can affect electrical equipment up to 1.5 km away. Millions of devices are broken like this worldwide. With the sophisticated protection elements of M-System you protect your devices, which are connected via the signal lines, from this damage.
no additional power supply necessary
does not influence the protected signal
for Ethernet, PoE and PoE Plus
Good reasons for lightning protection devices from M-System
Comprehensive protection EVERY line is protected individually In contrast to many low-cost lightning protection devices, with the MDCAT all 8 lines in the cable are protected separately and individually with the Ethernet. So you get a comprehensive protection on each existing line!
Simply Simply plug in between RJ45 connections! The MDCAT series simplifies the lightning protection enormously. The lightning protection device is simply latched into the network via RJ45 sockets, grounded, ready.
Flexible Various grounding options Due to a sophisticated grounding system, most series can be grounded via the DIN rail or via a ground wire.
INFO: It is recommended to make an earthing connection with a wire and an earthing clamp when the units are used with an aluminum rail, because an oxidation layer causes potential interference between the lightning protection device and the earthing connection. When using a steel or copper DIN rail, the devices can be installed in a very compact way, as they allow an earthing connection without the need to use a special earthing cable.

Good to know
The coating
The print plates and the electronics of the individual devices are additionally protected by coating. Depending on the design, this can have a wide variety of properties:
Silicone coating /C01 Product name: PELGAN Z (1-2577) Manufacturer: PELGAN Z Dow Toray Industries, Inc. Characteristics: Moisture resistance, insulation, improved flame retardance Special property: Wide temperature range of -45 to 200°C
Rubber coating /C03 Product name: PLASTI DIP SPRAY RED Manufacturer: Plasti Dip International Inc. Characteristics: Anti-rust, anti-corrosion, improved electrical insulation Special property: Very high corrosion protection
Use this additional option to improve longevity in very difficult conditions!
