2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 56X Series is built to answer the question of how

to provide transient protection for multiple Ethernet 802.3 10Base-T
ports spaced closely together on a hub. It is a very compact box that
houses 4, 6, 8, or 12 surge protectors in a high-density array. Matching
input and output ports on the front and rear panels allow the Model 56X
Series to conveniently connect in-line with each port on your 10Base-T
hub.

All versions of the Model 56X support data rates of up to 10Mbps.

Harmful data line transients on the hub ports are diverted directly to
chassis ground through the use of a solid state hybrid circuit. The
Model 56X is able to handle repeated surges up to 1.5KW without a
degradation in performance. Most importantly, the Model 56X protects
transparently and will not slow your network down.

W

arning—Should your equipment or building be subject to a direct

lightening strike, this product will not provide complete protection.
