MODEL: RJ45-16
INSTALLATION MANUAL
1
The Thor Technologies RJ45-16 – 16 WAY is a 100/1000MB RJ45 Ethernet
Cat5 (AND ABOVE) 16 channel surge protector.
It simply installs in-line using an RJ45 Cat5 (AND ABOVE) cable. ORIGINALLY INSTALLED
CABLING MUST BE Ethernet Cat5 (AND ABOVE)
The RJ45-16-16WAY has two RJ45 female jacks, (4 Banks of 4) so the in-line installation is a
very easy and straight forward.
It protects any Ethernet devices like switches, routers, laptops / PCs, Camera controller (DVR),
and IP Phones etc. from Earth Potential Rise and other types of line induced spikes and surges.
IMPORTANT
Things that are crucial and should NOT be missed when using the RJ45-16 – 16 WAY Ethernet
surge protector:
1. The RJ45-16 – 16 WAY Ethernet surge protector is compatible with 100/1000Base -T
networks and 48V PoE. The standard 802.11af/at allows the methods if implementing PoE.
2. Correct positioning: IN jack on the unprotected part of cable and OUT jack on the protected
side of cable. Reversed installation will still allow network traffic and operation but there will
be no surge protection at all!
3. For any surge protection device to operate efficiently proper grounding is of paramount
importance. Proper grounding: please note the yellow/green ground wire. This wire must be
connected to proper electrical ground (earth) in the building and kept to being as short as
possible from the connection point on the RJ45 16 16 WAY to the earth point in the building
or external point being used.
4. Note: On some installations and connections this unit may initially exhibit a small amount of
‘Latency’ before a connection is recognised if cables are reconnected or initially connected.
This is subject to the type of equipment connected and network cabling.
5. All Wi-Fi must be disabled to avoid auto network Wi Fi selection (instead of required wired
LAN connection.)
6. If connecting to Phone Systems it is critical to ensure the cabling is Cat 5 (or above) as the
RJ45-16 16WAY is only a pass-through device.
