PoE Surge Protector


In many place, lightning and surge damage are among the leading causes of equipment failures in outdoor IP networks. For example:


In the UK, many commercial buildings upgraded their CCTV systems to IP cameras, only to find that several cameras failed after a summer thunderstorm because surge protection was not installed.


In the U.S., an access control project at a logistics park suffered costly downtime when PoE-powered door controllers were damaged by transient overvoltage.


In Germany, a railway operator reported repeated failures of outdoor WiFi access points at stations until PoE Surge Protectors were added to the network.


These real-world cases highlight a common fact: any PoE-powered device installed outdoors or in exposed environments is at risk without proper surge protection.


That’s where a PoE Surge Protector comes in.


What Is a PoE Surge Protector?


A PoE Surge Protector (RJ45 Surge Protection Device) is designed to shield both data lines and power lines from surge damage. Unlike traditional surge protectors, it supports PoE/PoE+/PoE++ standards, ensuring safe operation of IP-powered devices while maintaining full-speed Gigabit transmission.


Applications


IP Cameras / CCTV Systems


Wireless Access Points (WiFi APs)


Access Control & Intercoms


VoIP Phones & IP Telephony


Smart Building & Industrial IoT Networks
