Ubiquiti ETH-SP-G2 Surge Protector

The Ubiquiti ETH-SP-G2 Surge Protector is a robust solution for safeguarding outdoor Ethernet networks. Designed to protect sensitive devices from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and surges, this compact device ensures reliable performance for high-speed networks. Available at Novatech Technologies, it supports both Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and non-PoE devices, delivering enterprise-grade protection for critical installations.

Why Choose Ubiquiti ETH-SP-G2 Surge Protector?

Robust Surge Protection for Outdoor Networks

The Ubiquiti ETH-SP-G2 Surge Protector is engineered to shield outdoor Ethernet devices from damaging surges and ESD events. It absorbs transient currents with a rapid response to surge voltages from 100V/s to 1kV/µs, ensuring your network remains operational even in harsh conditions. This makes it ideal for protecting devices like surveillance cameras and access points.

• Enhanced Network Reliability: Prevents costly downtime by protecting against voltage spikes.
• Seamless Integration: Works with Ubiquiti airMAX devices and third-party Ethernet equipment.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Affordable protection for high-value network installations.

However, installation requires proper grounding to maximize effectiveness, which may need professional assistance in complex setups.

Versatile Use Cases for Ubiquiti ETH-SP-G2 Surge Protector

Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs)

WISPs rely on outdoor equipment to deliver high-speed internet. The Ubiquiti ETH-SP-G2 Surge Protector ensures access points and customer premise equipment (CPE) are protected from surges, reducing service interruptions. Install one near the CPE and another at the building entry point to meet local code requirements.

Surveillance Systems

Outdoor IP cameras are vulnerable to electrical surges. The ETH-SP-G2 provides an additional layer of protection, ensuring uninterrupted surveillance. It supports cameras like those from HP’s professional-grade solutions, maintaining video feed integrity.

Small Business Networks

Small businesses with outdoor Wi-Fi setups can benefit from the ETH-SP-G2. It protects routers and extenders, ensuring consistent connectivity for customers and employees. Its compatibility with gigabit networks makes it a versatile choice for modern setups.

Compatibility with Modern Network Devices

The Ubiquiti ETH-SP-G2 Surge Protector supports connection speeds up to 1 Gbps, making it compatible with high-speed networks. Its two passive, surge-protected RJ45 ports ensure seamless integration with:

• Ubiquiti airMAX devices, which already feature built-in ESD protection.
• Third-party PoE devices, such as IP cameras and VoIP phones.
• Non-PoE Ethernet devices, including routers and switches.

For advanced setups, pair it with Ubiquiti’s Wave AP Micro for enhanced network performance. Note that while it supports 2.5 GbE networks in some configurations, performance may vary with non-standard cables.
