Data Line Transient Protection

From APC by Schneider Electric
 

 

Electrical transients (surges) on data lines can destroy computing equipment both in the business and home office environments. Many users appreciate the risk of power surges but overlook data line surges. This white paper explains how transients are created, how they can have devastating effects on electrical equipment, and how surge suppression devices work to help protect against them.
