To avoiding the various Ethernet devices may damage with surge voltages by lightning strikes. PLANET releases a new Ethernet Lightning Arrest Box for preventing the lightning strike situation which appears in current Ethernet environment.

The Ethernet Lightning Arrest Box, ELA-100, provides two passive 10 / 100 / 1000Base-T interfaces for connection of two Ethernet devices and one ground position for earthed. The ELA-100 Ethernet Lightning Arrest Box is the ideal solution to prevent damages of Ethernet devices by lightning strike with surge voltages.

• 20 KA Lightning surge protection
• Two passive 10 / 100 / 1000 Ethernet Ports
• One ground position
• Flexibility for various Ethernet devices including PoE

Outdoor installation of Ethernet Lightning Arrest box:
For installing the ELA-100 at outdoor place with shelter, the Ethernet Lightning Arrest Box must be earthed. Or the Ethernet Lightning Arrest Box may get electric shock and cause damage. Then connect two Ethernet devices to the two passive 10/100/1000Base-T ports (protected port and un-protected port) of Ethernet Lightning Arrest Box for lightning strike prevention.
