The Fluidmesh RJ-45 to RJ-45 Inline Surge Suppressor is designed to protect Fluidmesh Volo, Mito, and Endo radios to provide maximum network reliability. The protection circuits utilize silicon avalanche diode technology. The unit has a NEMA 3R cast aluminum enclosure with easy mounting flanges. The enclosure is an outdoor qualified NEMA 3R type enclosure with easy mounting flanges. The FM-SURGE features RJ-45 protection circuits for the Ethernet data pairs pins (1,2) (3,6) and DC un-polarized power pins (4,5) (7,8) for any combination of circuits up to 24Vdc MCOV. The unit is intended to be wall mounted and an optional bracket is available to allow a wide range of pole mount applications. Design incorporates a dedicated ground stud that must be bonded to the nearest grounding system (or Master Ground bar) for proper surge protection function.

The system wiring is installed with RJ-45 type connectors that can feed directly into the chassis without having to cut or splice or route through strain relief holes. The enclosure includes a built in cable retention feature for improved cable management. The enclosure has screw down clamps for maximum cable retention. In the unlikely event of surge protection self sacrifice, the individual protection cards will fail short to disrupt communication. The protection cards can be replaced for ease of service.
