Network Dataline Surge Suppressors
Tripp Lite Network Dataline surge suppressors are designed to protect data and communications
equipment against AC transients caused by lightning, electrostatic discharge and ground surges
that can enter equipment from the signal lines or chassis ground.
Select from the Tripp Lite Network Dataline surge suppressors described in this manual to
protect virtually any networked equipment connected to 100-Base-T, 10Base-T, 10Base-2 and
10-Base-5 Ethernet, Token Ring, RS232, RS422/423/485, parallel, dial-up modems, fax, ISDN,
DDS, T-1, USB or most any other communication interface.
Installation
1. Make sure the computer, network device or other equipment is logged OFF the network (if
applicable). Turn OFF power to the equipment.
2. Disconnect the cable from the equipment to be protected.
3. Connect the Tripp Lite Network Dataline surge suppressor directly to the equipment. DB9
and DB25 models are reversible, to work with male or female ports. To change gender,
remove the thumbscrews, reverse their direction and reinstall.
4. Attach the green ground wire on the surge suppressor directly to the protected equipment's
chassis. (Except DB9, DB15, DB25 and DUSB models.)
5. Reconnect the cable to the Tripp Lite Network Dataline surge suppressor.
NOTE!: The Tripp Lite Network Dataline surge suppressor must be properly grounded and
positioned as close as possible to the equipment to be protected. For best results, it is required that
the length of the signal line and ground wire (if equipped) between the surge suppressor and the
protected equipment be kept as short as possible, not to exceed 12 inches (12"). It is best to install
the surge suppressor directly to the equipment, as noted above.
NOTE!: Installing a typical Tripp Lite Network Dataline surge suppressor is equivalent to
addingapproximately three feet (3') of typical data communication cable to a segment.
Tripp Lite Network Dataline surge suppressors do not protect the equipment on the
opposite end of the cable. Normally, protection at both ends is recommended.
Tripp Lite Network Dataline surge suppressors will only protect against surges on
the dataline portion of your installation. Simultaneous AC surge suppression/power
protection in the form of an ISOBAR
strongly recommended for complete system/network protection and can also extend
Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage to connected equipment.
