SurgeGate Modular Rackmount Surge Protector Offers Savings of up to 40% in Costs, 80% in Labor Requirements

ITW Linx announced the global launch of its innovative SurgeGate™ Modular Rackmount surge protector. Providing warranty-backed protection and flexibility, the mix and match 12-module technology offers a wide range of benefits over conventional, fixed wall-mount surge protectors. The innovative technology features industry-leading response time and can generate significant cost, labor and space savings. Through the use of solid-state technology, The SurgeGate Modular Rackmount ensures enhanced safety and the fastest protection time in the industry with a response time of 1-5 nanoseconds.

Unlike standard pre-assembled surge protectors, the SurgeGate Modular Rackmount is the only mix and match surge protector on the market that offers six types of protection: Cat5 E-LAN, Cat5 E-POE, Cat5 E-75, Cat5 E-235, T1 and Telco CO (central office) line on a single 12 module rack. Users can install anywhere from one to 12 modules depending on surge protection requirements. New modules can be added in the configuration and numbers needed to meet evolving surge protection needs.

The ability to use one single protector for up to 12 technologies can generate cost savings up to 40%. Because the single rack comes with a common grounding wire, there is no need to ground each of the individual modules, leading to up to an 80% reduction in installation time requirements. The single grounding wire also helps minimize grounding errors in the installation of multiple surge protectors, further enhancing technology safety.

The SurgeGate Modular Rackmount is also the only warranty-backed product of its kind that is UL 497 listed and tested to TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) standards- providing the greatest possible protection against expensive downtime and equipment damage.

ITW Linx's SurgeGate Modular Rackmount surge protector applications can be used in a diverse range of networked buildings including; schools, office parks, banks, retail stores, hospitals, and doctors' offices

Opinion: Challenging Applications Call for Easier, All-In-One Digital Power Modules

The SurgeGate Modular Rackmount surge protector is 19" wide and 1U high devices. Pricing is dependent upon size and quantity ordered; it is approximately MSRP: $399 - RM-12MPVD; $45.50 for modules per unit in production volumes.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules

Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure

Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
