Surge protector

The Snap Lite is a quick-connect surge protector for 66-block multiple-line systems. Its single-pair configuration and five service voltage options (30V to 130V) addresses a variety of telecom, voice data, and twisted-pair video applications on the same 66-block. An LED light on the face of the unit goes out if the surge protector has blown, simplifying troubleshooting. If the light is off, the protector has performed its job and protected telecom equipment. The surge protector features sneak-current protection and guards against both over-amperage and over-voltage conditions. Able to survive thousands of small surges, it allows a continuous current of 150mA and offers tip-to-ground and ring-to-ground protection modes. The surge protector measures 3.25 in.×1.6 in.×.38 in. and weighs 14g.
