Protecting your Network Against Power Surges and Spikes

Each year billions of dollars in revenue are lost due to theft, property damage, employee waste and frivolous lawsuits. In many cases, your company’s security system may be your only witness.  These systems are critical business assets and 100% “uptime” is vital.  However, power surges and voltage transients on network data lines can leave your Ethernet equipment inoperable when needed most!

IP cameras mounted on a building or light pole are directly connected to the rest of your network equipment. A surge that energizes an externally mounted IP camera's power and data connection can travel into a building, taking out network switches, servers and other valuable Ethernet equipment. 

To help prevent surges from entering your building and your network, DITEK recommends installing surge protection on all IP-enabled devices that run from building-to-building or are externally mounted. Every network switch or Power over Ethernet device that links IP-enabled security devices should also be protected in the system racks. 

Protecting your network equipment from surges and spikes is simple and cost-effective compared to the value of ensuring the safety and security of your critical business assets. DITEK’s Power over Ethernet surge protectors are designed with state-of-the-art circuitry to provide superior protection against voltage surges and spikes.  These devices pass Gigabit Ethernet data speed, and are PoE Plus and High PoE ready for high wattage applications. 

It costs much less to avoid a disaster than to recover from one… is your network fully protected?
