PolyPhaser Debuts New IX Protection Platform
PolyPhaser (Minden, NV) announced its new configurable IX Protection Platform, which provides surge and lightning protection for data and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) applications.

The IX Protection Platforms are UL497B listed and meet BELLCORE 1089 10 µs/1,000 µs at 100 A specifications. Indoor and outdoor models are available, with the outdoor units meeting BELLCORE #TA-NWT-000487, Procedure 4.11, wind-driven, rain-intrusion standards. The operating temperature range is from -40 °C to +50 °C. Units withstand vibration tests of 1 G at 5 Hz to 100 Hz.
