Why Choose the Lovato SASDET6 Ethernet Surge Protection Device?
The Lovato SASDET6 is a high-performance Type C2-D1 surge protection device (SPD) designed to safeguard Ethernet Cat.6 and Power over Ethernet (PoE) networks against transient overvoltages caused by lightning strikes and switching events. As part of the trusted Lovato Electric SAS surge protection range, it provides dependable protection for industrial Ethernet infrastructure, automation systems and network-connected equipment.
Designed specifically for data line protection, the SASDET6 helps protect PLCs, industrial switches, IP cameras, wireless access points and other Ethernet devices from damaging voltage surges. Its compact DIN rail mounted design makes installation straightforward inside control panels and communication cabinets while maintaining reliable long-term protection.
Compliant with IEC/EN 61643-21, the SASDET6 provides C2-D1 surge protection with a 10 kA nominal discharge current (8/20 μs), 1 kA impulse current (10/350 μs) and support for 250 MHz Cat.6 bandwidth, making it ideal for protecting modern industrial Ethernet and PoE networks.
