ACData Signal Protection
Raycap ACData® signal and data protection products are a family of SPDs developed for the protection of POTS (analog telephone), T1/E1 (DS-1), Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), Power over Ethernet (PoE), and DS-0 lines. Available in various sizes, types, configurations, and service voltage options. The innovative modular design allows for custom protection configurations; hardwired or pluggable connection options are available. Most products comply with IEC 61643-11, UL 1449 5th Edition, and other UL safety standards.
The ACData signal protection family is designed for cost-effective protection of data and signal lines in telecommunication and light industrial applications. Their compact size and mounting options make the products suitable for residential and light industrial applications.
The family's distinguishing approach is the selection of different suppression technologies based on the application:
- SAD (Silicon Avalanche Diode) — fast response, low clamping voltage
- GDT (Gas Discharge Tube) — high energy handling capability
- TBU (Transient Blocking Unit) — current-limiting solid-state protection, minimizes capacitive load on high-speed lines like GigE
- MOV (Varistor) — for PoE power lines
These elements are used in combination (SAD+GDT, GDT+TBU, SAD+MOV+GDT) — thus achieving both sufficient energy capacity and sufficiently low pass-through voltage for each line type. Protection is provided in tip-ring, tip-ground, and ring-ground directions.
