Krone block unit for protecting telecom and data cables

November 2000 Infrastructure

Dehn's DPL 10F range of 10-way protectors is designed to protect telecommunication and data cables terminated on Krone LSA disconnection blocks.

The units are available for 10 twisted pairs, 10 Base-T, Token Ring (UTP), ISDN, 12, 24, 110 V, analog or digital systems, PABX and telecommunications signals. Depending on the application, the units can withstand surge currents of up to 10 kA and earth themselves directly to the Krone back frame.

The telecommunications version has zero series impedance and therefore does not add any additional loss to the line. Its slim format overcomes the problem often experienced with this type of unit - that it cannot fit into standard Telkom distribution boxes or small PABXs and the additional earth point is side-mounted.

Additional features include a push-on earth wire and single units are also available for single twisted pairs.

Dehn products are locally manufactured by Surge Technology. For more details contact Paul van As, Surge Technology, tel: (011) 792 1303/4/5, fax: (011) 793 6928 or [email protected]
