Surge protection for networks

Surge Protection for Networks

Network technologies from the Internet to your LAN have revolutionized the way business' operate. From last month's sales figures to the real-time status of a remote pumping station, our industry relies on computer networks now more than ever.

We take for granted the vast amount of information we can call up at the click of a mouse, but all too often we are also taking it for granted that the information will still be there next time we click that mouse. Ask yourself: could your business survive without its network infrastructure or worst still without the data stored on it?

Computer systems with their fragile microelectronics are particularly susceptible to damage from voltage surges. The small but frequent surges caused by nearby equipment being switched on and off, or a dirty power supply will, over time, erode sensitive PC components causing them to fail. At best this means replacing the PC; at worst it means trying to replace the mission critical information that was lost when 'that' backup hard drive failed. And if the small surges from a dirty power supply don't damage your business, a lightning strike to your building or even near it most certainly will. A direct or indirect lightning strike can send a 10,000 amp current through your network cabling destroying everything that's connected.

Network surge protection is essential if your business relies on IT services for its minute to minute operation. Make sure you're protected.
