Delock Network Surge Protector RJ45 Outdoor IP65

When lightning strikes nearby, standard Ethernet connections can carry destructive voltage spikes straight into your network hardware. The Delock 62063 is built specifically for outdoor installations where exposure to the elements and electrical surges is a daily reality. Its IP65-rated housing keeps out dust and water jets, while the internal protection circuitry shunts excess energy to ground before it can damage switches, routers, or IP cameras. Unlike basic indoor protectors, this unit is made to survive on a wall or pole in rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.

Highlights

• Protects 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet links from surge events
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE and PoE+) up to 30 W
• IP65 weatherproof enclosure for outdoor mounting
• High discharge capacity: 10 kA max surge current (8/20 µs)
• Fast response time under 1 nanosecond
• Integrated grounding cable for reliable earthing
• Operates from -40 °C to 80 °C
• Compact, wall-mountable ABS housing

In daily use

Install the Delock 62063 between your outdoor access point, IP camera, or PtP radio and the indoor network. Connect the incoming Ethernet cable to one RJ45 jack and the outgoing cable to the other; the built-in ground wire must be connected to a proper earth point. Once in place, the protector works transparently — no power supply needed, no configuration, no maintenance. Data flows at full Gigabit speed, and PoE devices continue to receive power through the protector. During a surge, the internal gas discharge tubes and silicon avalanche diodes clamp the voltage to safe levels, diverting the energy to ground. The IP65 rating means you can mount it on an exterior wall, mast, or under an eave without an additional enclosure.
