ONEAC OnLine Ethernet Communication Line Protector
Some face persistent communications and network system performance problems when operating without in-building data line protection or when using conventional technology. Others face performance expectations that demand zero tolerance for network downtime. ONEAC data line protectors are specifically engineered to satisfy these rigorous applications.
Ultimate Assurance of System Reliability
Leading telecommunication and networking companies employ ONEAC OnLine protectors in their installations for good reason; because they provide greater assurance of network and PBX uptime with a lower service cost than conventional protectors. Events such as system lockups, transmission errors, "no-trouble-found" service calls, shortened component life — all are problems that can result from surge voltages on networking equipment.
Local Area Networks
10/100Base-T Ethernet local area networks (LANs) are interconnected with long runs of unshielded, twisted-pair copper wire. The signaling technique used to transfer information packets operates by sending a balanced data signal at low voltages and high speed (e.g. 5 V @10 Mbps). Equipment connections to the LAN are generally made through balanced drivers via unshielded twisted-pair UTP cable and 8 position RJ-type connectors. Equipment connections from microprocessor-based equipment to peripherals are often made with lengthy cables and unprotected RS232C (unbalanced 25 V) interfaces. To provide equipment protection against all high frequency transient pulses and other damaging surges, protection should be employed near the communications interface of the protected equipment. ONEAC achieves maximum protection without inhibiting Ethernet performance. Our technology provides a combination of fast reaction, very low and accurate breakdown voltage (at frequencies up to 25 Mhz), and low insertion loss. To provide protection to the RS232C interfaces, additional interface surge suppression tailored to higher voltages is utilized.
Proven to Reduce Service Calls
By removing electrical transients, ONEAC improves system reliability for microprocessor-based products. Look at the evidence — installers of large customer-premise communications systems using both ONEAC transmission line protectors and ONEAC AC power conditioning report a reduction of 83% in total trouble calls due to hardware problems and 43% fewer calls in which no trouble was found.
