Overview
PN: 800-GigE-TWR-J-PCB-HV
Multi Line TWR Surge Protector Replacement Board
Outdoor Tower/Wall Mount 8 Circuit Ethernet Surge Protector Module
This product fits into the TWR protector that will protect up to 8 CAT5/c circuits with one device.
This multi line protector module is designed for outdoor use.
This device is designed to protect equipment such as APs and SMs installed at NOCs or tower sites where a number of devices are colocated.
The HV version of this device has a higher ethernet breakdown voltage for high RF exposure and POE situations. The HV is required for POE powered devices. LV Voltage is by special order only. HV version is the default product.
Grounded and bonded shielded RJ45 jacks provide grounds to shielded plugs on the J version. The P version (special order only) has 110 style punch down connections.

I installed one of these on the tower and exactly one week later we got hit. One of my competitors on the same tower was totally wiped out. Lost all his radios. I did not lose a single radio. All the surge suppressor modules inside this box were blown up completely so we had to use couplers to get the radios back on the air, but McCown sent out replacement modules overnight and we installed them a few days later. This unit saved us thousands. Good shit.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] GIGE-APC Surge suppressors
We either had a really bad power surge or a very close lightning strike at our NOC over the weekend. No visible signs of a direct strike to the tower. I’m leaning towards the power surge since other networked things in the office died, and our office telco/network closet is uplinked to the server room via a pair of fiber. Railroad stuff was all messed up at several crossings. And other businesses nearby lost various electronics as well.
Two AF24’s and an AF5. GigE-APCs at the bottom weren’t burned up, but were obviously dead. The AF POE injectors all shut down when plugged into them. The GigE-SS’s on top apparently stopped the surge from hitting the radios. After I bypassed the GigE-APCs at the bottom, the ethernet links would only run at 100Mbps, plus errors. After bypassing the GigE-SS’s on top this morning, all three are running GigE again with no errors. So that saved a lot of work today.
However, it wasn’t so good for the 5GHz 450i cluster at the top. Don’t know how, but one survived. We relied on the 450’s built-in suppression at the top. Didn’t happen. The GigE-APCs were all dead. So yeah, you should probably just run GigE-SS’s near a radio, even if it claims surge suppression is built in.
The PacketFlux PowerInjector+Sync had two of the ports with visible damage on the board. Took out the SiteMonitor Base unit with it. Forrest, if you want these for failure analysis, just let me know. I’d be happy to send them to you. When I got the office, the green LED was flashing 2, and I believe port #2 was a damaged one. It also took out all four of those ports on the CCR1036.
I’ve seen similar events over the years and this clearly looks like bottom up, i.e. utility surge. And of course the one thing I forgot after doing the generator and transfer switches…. the f’n whole panel surge suppressor. I would’ve moved the existing one over to the other panel, but I needed different breakers.
Bottom line, use MTC surge suppressors top and bottom and your life will be better.*
