Key Features
- Protect 8 Ethernet cable paths in one 1U rack unit to keep a multi-device installation organised.
- Pass Gigabit Ethernet traffic and compatible PoE through paired RJ45 connections without adding a separate protector beside every rack connection.
- Protect all eight conductors using differential and common-mode protection with a 10 kA surge discharge rating.
- Support PoE Mode A, Mode B or both, subject to the documented voltage and current limits.
- Integrate with a grounded equipment rack using the metal chassis and specified 14 AWG grounding connection.
Product Information
The MSTronic MS-T5608G consolidates 8 Ethernet surge-protection channels into a 19-inch, 1U rack format. Each channel uses an input/output RJ45 pair, allowing it to sit inline between network cabling and compatible equipment. It is useful in CCTV and network cabinets with several copper cable runs that need a common, organised protection point.
The unit provides surge protection for data and compatible PoE lines. It does not perform Ethernet switching, offer network management, or generate a PoE power budget. Power must come from the connected PoE source, and the installation must remain within the specified 56 V and maximum 2.5 A four-pair operating limits. Mode A, Mode B and combined pair use are documented.
The exact-model datasheet specifies 10/100/1000 Mbps operation and CAT5/CAT5e compatibility. Its PoE feature list names IEEE 802.3at and 802.3bt, while the official product title also lists 802.3af.
The rack should have a suitable earthing arrangement connected to the protector. The manufacturer documents a 14 AWG grounding lead and a 19-inch 1U mounting format. Additional patch leads, rack screws and other installation accessories are not confirmed as included. Product weight is used for the shipping weight field; packaging weight has not been added.
