The CommScope 4-Type Gas Discharge Tube with PTC (positive temperature coefficient) 5-Pin Protector Module provides high performance and long life for both overvoltage and over-current protection of voice-band and high-speed data circuits in controlled environments including central offices.

• Overvoltage protection is provided by a 3-element as discharge tube rated at 350V nominal with a fall-safe device, which provided insured protection in case of power cross.
• The gas discharge tube technology has low capacitance, high energy handling capability, and extreme temperature resiliency.
• Sneak current protection is provided by two self-resetting 2.2 ohm PTC resistors with a hold current of 180 mA.  The PTC resistors are advantageous compared to heat coils – they are self-resetting and do not require replacement for each operation.  The low resistance of the PTC resistors makes them ideal for a multitude of xDSL applications.

The CommScope 4-type Gas Discharge Tube with PTC 5-Pin Protector Module meets the Cat 5 high-speed requirement form GR-974, Issue 3, across the 100 MHz frequency spectrum except for return loss between the frequencies of 52.5 and 62.5 MH at 65° C.  The protectors are listed to UL497.  This product is an economical, reliable, and effective choice for overvoltage and over-current protection of copper pair circuits.
