Ubiquiti Ethernet Surge Protector
The Ubiquiti Ethernet Surge Protector (ETH-SP) provides advanced protection for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or non-PoE devices with connection speeds up to 1 Gbps. By diverting damaging electrostatic discharge attacks and surges to the ETH-SP, it ensures the safe operation of network devices. This product complements Ubiquiti airMax devices with built-in ESD protection, making it an essential addition to outdoor, high-speed networks that must meet local code requirements. Please note: a drain wire (optional), pole or wall mounting kit is not included. Pole mounting can be achieved with a jubilee clip or similar, while wall mounting requires 2 screws (with screw head ≤ 5mm).
