The surge protector takes the form of an adapter that can be easily installed between incoming telecommunications cables and a modem.

The pluggable connection ensures fast, flexible installation. The protection device only needs to be grounded by way of the black cable or DIN rail base.

The device features a sturdy metal housing with space for two SHDSL ports.

Also new from Phoenix Contact is the 7000 series managed Ethernet switches for use in Ethernet/IP networks. These switches are the first to be equipped with the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP), and can be configured and diagnosed from the EtherNet/IP control system.

They are also believed to be the first switches to support the Device Level Ring (DLR) redundancy mechanism. With DLR switching times of less than three milliseconds can be achieved if failure occurs; this increases the availability of the network. Up to six non-DLR-enabled devices can be integrated into the ring with the FL SWITCH 7000 switch.

In addition, proven functions such as IGMP snooping, multicast source detection, and auto-query port for intelligent multi-cast filtering are also available on the switches to enhance network stability.
