Protection of Telecom and Data Signals Against Overvoltage and Lightning

In recent years, together with advancing technology, telecom and data lines have started to appear almost everywhere. Especially with the transition of transmission lines from copper to optical lines, transfer speeds have reached much higher levels, and users have increasingly preferred these systems. Today, from factories to data centers, telecom signals can be found in almost all facilities. The widespread use and critical importance of these systems have also created the problem of protecting these signals.

Telecom signals are sensitive systems and can be damaged even at very low voltage levels.

Data interfaces and signals are much more sensitive systems compared to power components. These signals, operating at very low current and voltage levels, must be protected by fast-responding surge protectors. As Yılkomer, our recommendation is to use products with VG technology that combine both gas and suppressor technologies.

Where Can Signals Be Critical?

Telecom and data signals can be critical for many facilities and are essential for their operation.

• Automation signals (PLC and SCADA)
• Signaling Systems
• Alarm signals
• Data Centers and Servers
• Communication Signals
