ETHERNET

Ethernet is a widely used local area network with bus technology based on the standard IEEE 802.3. It achieves data rates of 10 Mbit/s, although in high speed networks it can reach up to 100 Mbit/s.

Ethernet	Protectors recommended for the different connection formats of Ethernet

Within the standard several variations of Ethernet are used, such as:

10Base-2 (Thin Ethernet or Thinnet), which is installed with fine coax RG58 and BNC connectors in "T", also called Cheapernet.

10Base-5 (Thick Ethernet or Thicknet), which is installed using thicker coax cable of 50 ohm.

10Base –T. It is installed with twisted cable pairs using RJ45 connectors. Within this group there are the high speed data networks called Fast Ethernet at 100 Mbit/s, with cables of category 5 (100Base-TX) .

All these standard elements can be protected with our protector series particulary designed for Ethernet and its different connection formats.
