* Concentrators
* A/B Switches
* Multiplexers (Muxes)
* Repeaters### Installation Notes* The surge protector should be installed in-line between the data cable and the equipment's I/O port.
* For comprehensive protection, it is recommended to install a protector at both ends of the data cable.
* Crucially, the connector shell must be attached to earth/chassis ground, typically through a grounded AC power receptacle, to ensure effective surge protection.
* Note that some sources recommend using these protectors in pairs.Why Choose Aumictech for the Black Box SP360A In-Line Surge Protector, RS-232 (DB25 25-Wire)?
