Ubiquiti ETH-SP-G2 Ethernet Surge Protector 2nd Generation

Product Description

The Ubiquiti ETH-SP-G2 is an essential accessory for any network installation that utilizes Ethernet cabling, particularly in environments where devices are exposed to potential electrical surges or lightning strikes. As the second generation of Ubiquiti's Ethernet surge protector, the ETH-SP-G2 offers enhanced protection capabilities and improved performance for both indoor and outdoor deployments. It is designed to safeguard sensitive networking equipment, such as routers, switches, access points, and surveillance cameras, from damage caused by transient voltage spikes and electrostatic discharge (ESD). This surge protector features two standard RJ45 Ethernet ports, allowing for seamless integration into existing network infrastructure. One port connects to the incoming Ethernet line (e.g., from a PoE switch or outdoor CPE), and the other connects to the protected network device. The ETH-SP-G2 supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds, ensuring that network performance is not compromised by the protective device. A key feature is its passive Power over Ethernet (PoE) passthrough capability, which allows PoE power to be transmitted through the protector to compatible devices, simplifying installations by eliminating the need for separate power injectors for the protected device. Built with durability in mind, the ETH-SP-G2 often comes in a weather-resistant enclosure, making it suitable for installation in outdoor locations where exposure to the elements is a concern. The device utilizes a low clamping voltage to effectively divert damaging voltage surges to ground, protecting connected equipment. Its straightforward installation process, requiring only standard Ethernet cables, makes it a practical choice for both professional installers and DIY users looking to enhance the reliability and longevity of their network infrastructure.
