NOTE
This product is not intended for direct outdoor exposure to the elements,
use a NEMA 4X rated or comparable enclosure for outdoor installations.
* Low voltage power, data and video surge protection *
A.) SecureLinx CAT 5 Modules (Models: MSL-CAT5-LAN-RJ45, MSL-CAT5-POE-RJ45),
See Figure 1.
These models protect one 8-wire Cat 5 cable using RJ45 connectors.
1. Simply plug the RJ45 jack from the line input cable into the “Line” side of the protector.
2. Using a Cat 5 (or better) patchcord, plug one end into the “Equipment” side of the protector
and the other side of the patchcord into the equipment to be protected.
3. Mount protector to a solid surface, like plywood. Drill a 3/32 hole for the #6 x 3/4 screw &
eyelets provided. See figure 4. Attach screw and eyelet to wall and slide protector over
screw and tighten. Add second screw to bottom of protector.
If you are not using a SurgeGate base unit, connect the protector to a single point ground
with a minimum 14 AWG wire as shown in Figure 5. Additional protectors may also be
bonded together as shown in figure 4 on below.(dotted outline).
Note: • The protector shall be installed in accordance with the applicable requirements
of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA-70, Article 800, Section C.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Do not attach module to an AC base unit in a Primary application.
B.) SecureLinx CAT 6 Modules (Models: MSL-CAT6-LAN, MSL-CAT6-POE), See Figure 2.
These models protect one 8-wire Cat 6 cable using 110 connectors.
1. Remove protector cover.
2. Strip off 1.5" of jacket from line input 24 AWG OSP cable and protected equipment cable.
3. Insert OSP cable (“LINE” side) into clip on the printed circuit board. If shielded cable is
used, contact shield with the clip.
4. Punch down line input pairs on the 110 connectors (“LINE” side) carefully maintaining
proper wire twist. (Note: The color code is printed on the PC board next to the connector.)
5. Punch down the protected equipment pairs on the opposite 110 connectors
(“EQUIPMENT” side) carefully maintaining proper wire twist. (Note: The color code is
printed on the PC board next to the connector.)
6. Position and tightly secure a cable tie on each cable to provide strain relief next to
cable exit holes in the protector housing.
7. Replace cover.
8. Mount protector to a solid surface, like plywood. Drill a 3/32 hole for the #6 x 3/4 screw
& eyelets provided. See figure 4. Attach screw and eyelet to wall and slide protector
over screw and tighten. Add second screw to bottom of protector.
9. When used as a Primary Protector, connect the grounding strip to a good earth ground
with a minimum 10 AWG wire. Use ring lug and machine screw provided. Route wire
as direct & as short as possible For Isolated Loop applications, connect to a single
point ground with a minimum 14 AWG wire as shown in figure 5.
10. Additional protectors may also be bonded together as shown in figure 5. (dotted outline)
