A power over ethernet surge protector, also known as a PoE surge protector (Surge Protective Device), is designed to protect Ethernet-based systems from transient overvoltage caused by lightning activity, switching operations, or electrical disturbances in nearby equipment. PoE, or Power over Ethernet, is a technology that transmits both electrical power and data through a single Ethernet cable. It is widely used in IP-based systems such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and network switches, where both communication and power supply are required at the same. By sending data and electrical power over a single cable, PoE simplifies installations and powers devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones. But with great convenience comes vulnerability. Protect your network devices from lightning strikes and ESD. However, these environments can expose network equipment to electrical surges caused by lightning, power. Line-Interactive UPS systems provide both battery backup and automatic voltage regulation of AC power (boost/cut) to give a greater amount of power protection than a Stand-By UPS.
