Surge Protection Cable For Smart Serial Cables - CAB-SS-SURGE
  • Warranty: N/A

In order to improve the network reliability of installations subject to surge events, Cisco offers the CAB-SS-SURGE surge protection cable for Smart Serial interfaces. If a surge event (Lightning/ESD) is coupled onto the cables that interface with the serial card, energy can couple into the transceivers on the front end of the card. The addition of a passive cable assembly (with internal clamping circuitry) can prevent this energy from damaging the transceivers on the front end of the interface. When a voltage over the normal operating levels seen in the serial communication are present on the front end of the interface they are clamped to ground. This cable attaches to the Smart Serial connector on the WIC-2T, WIC-2A/S, HWIC-4T, HWIC-4A/S, or NM-16A/S on the router, and connects to the standard Smart Serial cable on the other end.

This cable supports all Smart Serial protocols: EIA-232D, V.35, X.21, EIA-449, EIA-530, and EIA-530A. It provides the maximum protection by having the surge protection closest to the port that needs protection.
