Fast and secure surfing with DSL and MAINTRAB MNT-TAE


DSL makes surfing the Internet comfortable and fast for the first time. The new speeds with up to 16,000 kbit/s data transmission allow video conferences and downloading in seconds as well as Internet telephony in a previously unattained quality. The pleasure of fast surfing can come to an abrupt end, however, if your system is destroyed by a surge voltage.



Surge voltages


Destroyed IC, see e-mail attachment: Typical destruction from a surge voltage
Surge voltages are not only caused by lightning strikes. Surge voltages are caused much more frequently by the switching of high-capacity machines and short circuits in the power supply network. These voltages only occur for a fraction of a second. For this reason, they are called "transient voltages" or "transients". Although the energy that is released during switching operations is not as great as with a lightning discharge, the amplitude of the surge voltages is usually considerably steeper. As a result, the affected components are subjected to very high loads that can even destroy them.



Effective protection


The protection of telecommunications equipment requires protection of the power supply and the actual telephone or data line. The optimum protection for your DSL connection is the MAINTRAB MNT-TAE or PT 2-ISDN NT Due to the special protective circuit, the high data transmission speed is not attenuated and there is nothing more in the way of fast surfing. The power supply protection of the MNT-TAE benefits the router or DSL modem, so that the complete telecommunications equipment can be protected with a single protection device.
