A wide range of protection products are offered which are an important part of the C5C product line. Gas tube over voltage protection is available, and over current protection is also provided in 5-point protectors. 3 and 5 point protectors are available in dry and sealed versions.
3-Point Protection
The C5C-PR-3GT-230-D and C5C-PR-3GT-230-G contain a heavy-duty 3-electrode gas discharge tube. They are used when many large lightning induced voltages are expected on the telecom pairs.
5-Point Protection
The C5C-PR-5GT-230-R-D and C5C-PR-5GT-230-R-G contain a heavy duty 3-electrode gas discharge tube. Over current protection has been added in the form of 2 PTCRs (Positive TemperatureCoefficient Resistor). The over current devices are fast acting, have low room-temperature resistance and are completely self-restoring when the fault current source is removed from the line.
