Surge protection

MTL ZoneBarrier data surge protection devices

The Crouse-Hinds series MTL ZoneBarrier range is a uniquely modular data and signal line protection system for 24V, 4-20mA current loop and Industrial Ethernet applications. By providing an effective barrier between uncontrolled transient environments and your valuable electronic systems, the ZoneBarrier range protects you from costly system down time and equipment failure.

The sophisticated hybrid circuitry employed by the ZoneBarrier range protects your equipment without impeding normal operation. ZoneBarrier protection components comprise a combination of high energy Gas Discharge Tubes with ultra fast diodes and Silicon Avalanche Diodes. This combination of high quality surge protection components gives the ZoneBarrier range its characteristic low letthrough voltage and high, 10kA, surge current capacity which provides excellent protection. ZoneBarrier devices have RJ45, terminal strip or pluggable terminal strip connectors.

ZoneBarrier data and signal devices are tested to IEC 61000-4-5 and CCITT K17. Industrial Ethernet compatible versions are also UL Certified Cat.5 and UL 497B Listed. ZoneBarriers come complete with a full 10 year product warranty.
