Surge Protector PLANET ELA-100 Black

The PLANET ELA-100 Surge Protector is a compact, passive lightning arrest box designed to protect Ethernet devices from surge voltages caused by lightning strikes. It provides two 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 interfaces for connecting two Ethernet devices and a dedicated ground terminal for earthing. The unit is lightweight (80 g) and small (65 mm × 42 mm), enabling easy integration into network installations where basic surge protection is required.

Advantages

The ELA-100 offers passive, maintenance-free protection without requiring power. Its two Gigabit Ethernet ports allow continued network connectivity while directing surge transients to ground. The compact black enclosure simplifies installation in confined spaces and reduces the need for larger external protection equipment.

Suitable for

• Protecting Ethernet switches and routers from transient surge voltages
• Securing networked IP cameras and access points in outdoor or exposed locations
• Use at demarcation points where a grounded surge protection device is needed

How to use

Mount the ELA-100 near the protected equipment or at the network entry point and connect the two Ethernet devices to the RJ45 ports. Attach the ground terminal to a suitable earth connection according to local electrical codes to ensure proper diversion of surge currents. No power or configuration is required; the device operates passively to redirect surge energy to ground.

Recommendations

For effective protection, ensure the grounding point is low-impedance and complies with local regulations. The ELA-100 provides basic surge protection for Ethernet lines but does not replace comprehensive surge protection systems for power lines or high-energy installations.
