Cingular Go Phone: Protectnet for Digital Phone Review

Product order and delivered promptly -- all well-done.No way to test the unit itself, only lightning can test it.The specific item was recommended via a customer service call to APC, where I pointed out that all protective devices I had seen with a RJ-45 interface, were designed to protect Ethernet and I needed something specific for ISDN which involved phone lines. I feel a lot better about leaving things on during storms now -- before installing this protective device, the last lightning storm cost me over $85 for a new Cisco router.

Product Description:

Product Name: ProtectNet Digital Telephone Line Surge Suppressor
Marketing Information:
Data line surges make up an overwhelming majority of all surge induced damages where the equipment was thought to be already protected but had a back door such as a modem line unprotected. Network interface cards, in particular, can be destroyed by relatively mild spikes.According to Ethernet standards (IEEE 802.3), non-AC network electrical hazards include: Direct contact between components and power or lightning circuits, static charge buildup on cables and component, high-energy transients coupled onto the local cabling system (those induced by other cables which are installed in the general proximity of network cables or lightning within a mile radius) and potential differences (even from building to building, between safety grounds to which components are connected.)Technical Information
