Mobotix MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box

• Surge protection for MOBOTIX IP Cameras
• Protects against surges or up to 4 kV on the PoE network cabling
• For patch cable to patch cable or patch cable to installation cable (MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box-LSA)
• Complete set including mounting supplies

Weatherproof network connector (IP65) with surge protection or up to 4 kV for MOBOTIX IP cameras; ideal for replacing MX Patch Box

Surges are voltages that exceed the allowed voltage range for MOBOTIX IP cameras. The max. Voltage for PoE, for example, is 57 V. Surges do not necessarily result in irreparable damages to MOBOTIX IP cameras. Only if the voltage is exceeded by a multiple of the allowed value, or if the surge is present for a longer period or time or even permanently, damages are unavoidable.

Examples for Causes of Surges

• Direct lightning strike into the installation itself or the network cable
• Lightning strike into the power supply or ground in the vicinity (within a radius or 100 km / 62 mi)
• Switching or high loads, especially if network and power lines run side-by-side

Note:

• The cable between the MX Overvoltage Protection Box and the MOBOTIX camera must not be longer than 50 cm / 19.7 in.
• An MX Overvoltage Protection Box protects against surges or up to 4 kV on a network patch or installation cable, but not against direct lightning strikes.
