## Overview

The Tupavco TP302 Ethernet Surge Protector delivers industrial-strength 20KA surge suppression with Gas Discharge Tubes across all 8 wires, ensuring full PoE++ (up to 154W) compatibility and lightning protection for Gigabit Ethernet networks. Its rugged aluminum enclosure and 12AWG grounding wire provide superior EMI shielding and reliable defense against transient surges, making it an essential safeguard for routers, switches, cameras, and other critical network devices. Designed for easy mounting and seamless integration with CAT5/6 cables, this device is a must-have for professionals seeking to protect high-value network infrastructure from costly lightning-induced damage.

## Description

Ethernet Surge Protector is a surge protection device (SPD) that is inserted inline on an RJ45 CAT6/CAT5/CAT5e cable to prevent damage of electronic networking equipment.The thunder arrestor also offers secondary protection, which will arrest EMF induced surges (nearby lightning ethernet).Ethernet Surge Suppressor TP302 use a Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) on all 4 pairs (8 wires).Gigabit (GbE) 10/100/1000 Mbps data rate transfer supports an ultra-fast maximum data rate of 1 Gigabit per second.POE Surge Protector allows a single RJ-45 cable to provide both data connection and electric power to device.Mounting flange on the both sides of lightning suppressor allows easy mounting to a wall, network panel, cabinet, or rack attaching by screws (not included).The ethernet ground wire (12 Inch - 12 AWG) on the surge protector needs to be connected to ground through the shortest path.The lightning arrestor can be used with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded (STP) cables. The aluminum enclosure allows shielded current to be passed through the metal case of the network surge protector. Ethernet Surge Protector TP302 – LAN Network ESD Thunder Lightning Surge Arrester Gigabit PoE++ RJ45 CAT5 CAT5E CAT6 Suppressor Ethernet Surge Protector TP302 offers multiple stages protection Gas Discharge Tubes.Gigabit ethernet arrestor is capable of protecting a wide array of valuable technology products. Small, extremely well-built, provide deep protective measures for numerous devices. In the event of lightning strikes, or other elements that put your devices at risk, the surge arrestors goes to work immediately. LAN surge protector has a distinct reputation for ethernet lightning protection reliability. Ethernet Suppressor is easy to set up, and it is just as easy to use. These network surge protectors represent one of the most cost-effective solutions for protecting your devices and networks.

Review: These surge arrestors seem ridiculously expensive, however speaking from experience of having purchased and examined several different brands and models of surge arrestors, I can say with confidence these are about as well made as you're going to find in this price point and for this type of usage/product. I have adopted extensive use of these (over 2 dozen and counting) on my home network. I have 3 mid-tier managed switches, router, gateway modem, and several unmanaged switches. Probably around 50 end points altogether. I have strategically placed these surge arrestors on my network primarily in order to isolate any potential damage caused by lightning. I learned my lesson a few years ago, when lightning struck my next door neighbor's house. A single CAT5 cable I had near the impact site acted as an antenna. The nearby strong electromagnetic field from the lightning strike was picked up by the CAT5 and fried every piece of equipment it was connected to, until one of my old servers at the time finally gave it enough resistance to stop the damage. I had over $14,000 in damaged equipment. Since then, as I said I've placed these (or similar units I tried before) surge arrestors across my network. Zero issues so far, with the exception of a couple of non-related compatibility issues that I'll discuss below. I live in Texas, and strong, violent thunderstorms are the norm here, especially in spring and summer. If you have not experienced a mid-west thunderstorm, then you will not understand. I moved here from the east coast years ago, and I had no idea they could be so intense until living here. Now, a brief word on compatibility issues. There are some devices that these don't play well with, but that is true with any device like this. These will introduce some additional resistance into your network cable/line, and some devices don't like them. For example, I have a small number of devices connected via SFP+ that even across short distances, when using CAT6 to connect the devices (because the run is too long for DAC's), I have found these devices don't like the surge arrestor between them. It results in erratic data transfer rates. The bottom line is these type of devices are crucial to include within your network design if you want to guard against lightning in particular, and/or any other similar type of electrical discharge risk. They are useful for segmenting your network, and especially to help protect valuable equipment. One word of caution: these devices do require proper setup and implementation. They must be grounded through the included ground wire. This means - contrary to some of the product photos - you can't simply screw them into a wall willy-nilly. Again, some thought is required - or at least prudent - prior to incorporating these (or similar) devices into your home or workspace.
Review: What can you say - it'll work or it won't ! I've lost quite a few bits of gear - over 1000 squids worth - to power surge through the telephone line from nearby lightning strike. Of course this is isn't designed to protect from a direct strike - if the house has exploded it's a sure bet the modem and router have done. But it should protect against induced current from nearby strikes. I wanted something to place between my IDSN modem/router which uses C11 lead from BT socket. This will do it. if I had to niggle the clearance between screw mounts and sockets is a tad tight - esp if you use round-headed screws. For some connecting the earth lead - CRUCIAL TO DO THIS - might prove tricky. The easiest route if you have flush power sockets might be to wire it to a plug - the lead is not long so perhaps crimp an extension. I'm lucky insofar as I have easy access to other options. An alternative is to use one of the screws on the socket faceplate - these SHOULD be earthed. BUT I would check this. These items are not plug-and-play if you are not au fait with things 'lekky'. This bit of kit looks solid and convincing. It at least seems to offer protection - but you won't know, will you. It's insurance that might pay out. Not much else you can do really. There might be a tiny reduction in speed but it's not really noticeable. You won't send this back for construction issues that's all I can say until the next WTF moment when it goes all bright, then dark.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Just curious, did anyone here have a real lightning strike with this device installed?  What happened?**
A: I had lightning strike the ground/grass within 5 feet of my wireless equipment. The wireless fired because of the energy in the air. The fuse took the rest of the hit in my closest. The fuse stropped the damage from getting to the rest of the equipment. I think it did its job of protecting the rest of the equipment. It is a one time use type of thing when it gets damaged like this. I replaced it with the same model and moved on. I am happy.

**Q: Does this cause a slowdown in network speed?**
A: I have a gigabit router and did not notice any slowdown in speed.

**Q: How do you hook this up? Do you need two cables? Ground it to an outlet box - take off the plastic cover on the outlet box & attached cable to screw?**
A: there is a ground wire on the device that needs to be connected to a ground. You could use an outlet, conduit or other ground source. The closer your surge protector is to the ground rod, the more efficient it will be at protecting your device.

**Q: Weatherproof/outdoor rated?**
A: Likely not outdoor rated, but the container would be weather "resistant" however as Allan comments, the connectors are not weatherproof or waterproof or even "resistant."  If it is used outside, it will need to be put into a weatherproof container.

ist die Funktionsfähigkeit weil man dann eine Überspannung erzeugen müsste was man ja nicht möchte. Was mich überzeugt hat ist, das die Absicherung nicht nur einfach über einen dünnen Leiter auf der Platine erfolgt sondern eine Gasentladungsröhre besitzt - hier ist die Hoffnung größer das es im Notfall besser funktioniert. Auch die Verarbeitung ist sehr ordentlich und sauber. Einzig das Kabel für die Erdung könnte länger sein und im Bedarfsfall kürzbar.
