The Crouse-Hinds series MTL ZoneBarrier High Energy Ethernet range combines high speed, high surge current capacity, industrial capabilities and hazardous area capabilities into a single package. Our ZoneBarrier Ethernet High Energy range represents the next generation in Ethernet protection. This powerful 10kA high ppeed Category 6 surge protector can be used for a full range of Ethernet applications, from 10-Base-T to 1000-Base_T (Gigabit Ethernet) as well as all Industrial Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.

The application of high speed Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices is increasing dramatically in industries such as process, industrial, manufacturing, intelligent transportation system (ITS), and Security. Due to the application flexibility of these new high speed Ethernet devices, many are now being installed in areas very susceptible to lightning and other types of damaging surge events.

Due to the operational criticality of many of these devices, any downtime or loss of function can become a major concern to the overall system availability and functional safety. The need for a durable high speed protection solution capable of being installed into these harsh and hazardous locations has become increasingly more in demand.

Our MTL ZoneBarrier High Energy Ethernet range was developed specifically to fit the needs for these types of applications.
