Need Outdoor Power? Exposed-Run Tray Cable Delivers It
Not all power cable is created equal. Most cables that are made for standard indoor use would not last long outdoors under the elements or even indoors on a factory floor. That’s why TC-ER power cable was developed.... Read more
Finding the Perfect Fit When One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Customizing your surge protection means choosing products specifically designed for a certain purpose. Whether it’s a rack-mount PDU or a HEMP-tested SPD, when your equipment operates within the exact electrical parameters, tolerances and environmental conditions it was intended for, it will perform better and last longer. Less maintenance will save you money.... Read more
How to Protect a Lot of Data Lines in a Little Space
If you want surge protection for a bunch of data lines in a compact space, including mixed signal protocols in the same location, check out our CPX series rack-mount surge protection devices. These indoor guardians will protect up to 16 data lines from being damaged by energy spikes caused by lightning and other sources of transient voltage – and they take up only 1U of rack space....
