2 RJ45-16 Installation Manual

The Thor Technologies RJ45-16 – 16 WAY is a 100/1000MB RJ45 Ethernet

Cat5 (AND ABOVE) 16 channel surge protector.

It simply installs in-line using an RJ45 Cat5 (AND ABOVE) cable. ORIGINALLY INSTALLED

CABLING MUST BE Ethernet Cat5 (AND ABOVE)

The RJ45-16-16WAY has two RJ45 female jacks, (4 Banks of 4) so the in-line installation is a

very easy and straight forward.

It protects any Ethernet devices like switches, routers, laptops / PCs, Camera controller (DVR),

and IP Phones etc. from Earth Potential Rise and other types of line induced spikes and surges.

IMPORTANT

Things that are crucial and should NOT be missed when using the RJ45-16 – 16 WAY Ethernet

surge protector:

1. The RJ45-16 – 16 WAY Ethernet surge protector is compatible with 100/1000Base -T

networks and 48V PoE. The standard 802.11af/at allows the methods if implementing PoE.

2. Correct positioning: IN jack on the unprotected part of cable and OUT jack on the protected

side of cable. Reversed installation will still allow network trafﬁc and operation but there will

be no surge protection at all!

3. For any surge protection device to operate efﬁciently proper grounding is of paramount

importance. Proper grounding: please note the yellow/green ground wire. This wire must be

connected to proper electrical ground (earth) in the building and kept to being as short as

possible from the connection point on the RJ45 16 16 WAY to the earth point in the building

or external point being used.

4. Note: On some installations and connections this unit may initially exhibit a small amount of

‘Latency’ before a connection is recognised if cables are reconnected or initially connected.

This is subject to the type of equipment connected and network cabling.

5. All Wi-Fi must be disabled to avoid auto network Wi Fi selection (instead of required wired

LAN connection.)

6. If connecting to Phone Systems it is critical to ensure the cabling is Cat 5 (or above) as the

RJ45-16 16WAY is only a pass-through device.

WIRING EARTH ON RJ45 16 16WAY UNITS

The EARTH wire should be as short as possible.

If using the CLIPSAL 463SAS earth plug the screw, nut and washer locking the individual earth extension wire lugs must be tightened and as tight as physically possible. Each lug must be secured

by an individual washer and nut.

If using an Earth installation in an existing rack. Earth wire may need to be attached or extended to closest stud available.

Note: The Earth path must have the least resistance and maximum contact to be effective.
