DITEK announces the debut of the DTK-MRJEXTS surge protector, designed to be installed on the outputs of PoE Extender devices. The DTK-MRJEXTS is a point-of-use surge protector compatible with CAT5e, CAT6 and CAT6A cabling infrastructure, and when used with STP cabling, the DTK-MRJEXTS does not require a separate earth ground, allowing for simpler installation.

The advanced circuitry in the DTK-MRJEXTS provides protection for PoE extender circuits,” said Jason Klein, National Sales Manager, DITEK. “In the event of a power surge, installing this product will ensure your PoE extender devices are not damaged or destroyed and your system will remain operational.

Super-fast data speed without signal degradation

The DTK-MRJEXTS is designed to handle data speeds up to 10GbE without signal degradation and is ready for high-wattage applications with PoE+ and Hi-PoE. It contains shielded RJ45 connections with external grounding screw and complies with IEEE standards 802.3af and 802.3at for PoE. It can also operate in temperatures from 4°C to 77°C and is offered with a 10-year warranty.

For businesses that make use of PoE extenders for critical systems such as access control or video surveillance, ensuring that those systems do not experience downtime due to a surge event is essential,” continued Mr. Klein. “Surges can spread easily across a PoE network, so protecting your devices helps to protect the entire organization.
