Combined Category C, B tested protector (to BS EN 61643) suitable
to protect equipment on twisted pair applications using Cat-5
wiring with RJ45 connectors. For use on lines running within buildings
at boundaries up to LPZ 2 through to LPZ 3 to protect sensitive
electronic equipment.
Telecoms & computer line protection
ESP LN Series
TECHNICAL NOTE:
ESP LN... range of protectors are designed only for use on cables running
within a building (typically LPZ 2) to offer local protection to equipment. They therefore will
not be able to handle the higher level transients that occur when lines between buildings are
protected. ESP LN... range of protectors should not be used in such an application (up to
LPZ
0
) where high energy ESP lightning barriers (such as ESP E and ESP Cat-5 & Cat-6
Series) should be employed. If they are used in lines between buildings, there is a high risk
of the protector being overloaded and destroyed during transient activity. Connected equipment
will, in most cases, still be protected, but there is a small risk that equipment will suffer
damage in such circumstances.
Installation
Plug-in connection between incoming data cables and
equipment to be protected. Make suitable attachment to
earth.
Full product range order codes can be found on pages 17/8-17/9
NOTE:
Protectors for coaxial (or twisted pair) CCTV Lines are available. For coaxial RF lines, use the ESP RF Series. Transients can also be conduced into
TV systems via the mains power supplies - use suitable ESP mains protection.

Application
Use on network cables running within a building to protect
systems locally from transients induced on to data cables
from the magnetic field caused by a lightning strike.
Suitable for internal cabling Cat-5.
–– Protect the network connection to individual pieces of
equipment with the ESP LN
–– Protect multiport applications such as hubs, switches and
patch panels with the ESP LN-4, ESP LN-8, ESP LN-8/16
or ESP LN-16/16
