Transtector THUNDERBOLT Outdoor Data Surge Protectors (SPDs) use Gas Discharge Tube (GDT), Transient Blocking Unit (TBU), or Silicon Avalanche Suppression Diode (SASD) technology to protect equipment in 10/1000 Base-T or Gigabit Ethernet/PoE+ (or PoE++) networks while remaining transparent to data throughput. These Transtector outdoor-style SPDs provide effective protection against electrical transients generated by lightning and internal switching events. The THUNDERBOLT Outdoor series supports long-term system reliability by absorbing high amounts of transient energy while maintaining a very low clamping voltage.
