Surge Protection for Information Technology
Safety plays an important role in industry, in administration, and in all areas of public life. Not only the safety of IT systems against hackers and viruses, but also the stability of the hardware of these systems is becoming increasingly important. Particularly the smooth transmission of data depends totally on the availability of EDP systems. Every e-mail that does not arrive, every homepage that is not available can cost the company orders. This is why securing network access, remote access servers, telephone systems and computing centers is of great importance. Surge protection concepts make a considerable contribution to ensuring that this high degree of system availability is maintained.
Since IT devices are often very sensitive, the protection in the power supply unit is not sufficient. "Transients" can couple into the data lines, destroying your terminal equipment. Interface-specific protective circuits limit surge voltages to such a low value that the residual voltage no longer poses a risk.
Not only must the electrical specifications be observed, but the protective devices must also be mechanically adapted to the interfaces to be protected. In practice, a large number of different connection systems will be encountered. Almost as many different types of arresters are available for your solutions.
