PROCET PoE System Ethernet Surge Protector Gigabit 20kV 120W

PROCET's PT-PR01G is an industrial-grade RJ45 surge protector that shields Gigabit PoE devices from high-energy transients up to 20kV while passing PoE++ power up to 120W.

Designed for demanding outdoor and indoor network installations, the PT-PR01G combines a gas discharge tube (GDT) with precision Ethernet protection to safeguard 10/100/1000Mbps links and high-power PoE equipment. Its aluminum-alloy housing, extended temperature tolerance from -40°F to 185°F, and compatibility with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standards make it suitable for security cameras, wireless radios, access points, and industrial switches where lightning or switching surges are a concern.

How does this protector integrate with PoE++ devices?

The PT-PR01G is engineered to pass PoE++ power while intercepting dangerous surge energy on both common and differential modes. It supports up to 120W and 60V DC, allowing modern high-power devices to operate without losing surge defense.

• Maintains full 10/100/1000Mbps throughput for network performance.
• Supports IEEE 802.3af/at/bt PoE standards and non-standard PoE equipment.
• Permits up to 60V DC and 120W maximum power delivery.
• Protects both power and data conductors simultaneously.

What levels of surge protection does the PT-PR01G provide?

This unit uses a gas discharge tube to handle large common-mode strikes and additional circuitry for differential events. The common-mode capability exceeds 20kV (10/700μs) while differential protection covers pulses around 1.5kV (10/700μs), helping dissipate destructive transient energy before it reaches connected devices.

• Common-mode surge capacity: >20kV (10/700μs) via GDT.
• Differential protection: ~1.5kV (10/700μs) for data pair events.
• Metal housing and internal grounding path for effective discharge.
• RJ45 port design preserving signal integrity under protection.

Will it survive outdoor or industrial environments?

Yes — the PT-PR01G is built for harsh conditions with an aluminum-alloy case and an extended operating range from -40°F to 185°F. The robust construction and corrosion-resistant finish make it fit for exposed installations, telecom cabinets, and industrial control racks.

• Aluminum-alloy enclosure with durable silver finish.
• Rated to operate in extreme low and high temperatures.
• Improved RJ45 socket designed for reliable signal contact.
• Compact footprint for inline or panel-mounted deployment.

How do I install and ground the device correctly?

Install the PT-PR01G inline with the incoming cable between the external network feed and the protected device. Ensure a low-impedance connection to building ground or a proper earthing bus to allow the GDT to divert surge energy safely; follow local electrical codes for grounding and bonding.

• Place inline on the Ethernet link where surge entry is expected.
• Connect a short, direct ground lead to the device chassis or ground terminal.
• Use shielded cable or proper connector practices for best results.
• Confirm PoE power and data remain within device ratings before commissioning.

Who is this for: The PROCET PT-PR01G is intended for network engineers, security integrators, and facility managers who deploy PoE cameras, wireless access points, radios, and industrial Ethernet equipment in locations exposed to lightning or electrical noise. If you need a compact inline protector that supports Gigabit speeds and high-power PoE++ devices while tolerating extreme temperatures, this unit offers a practical balance of surge capacity and power handling.
