Ditek DTK-MRJ45SCPOPX RJ45 Surge Protection Module

Product Description

The DITEK DTK-MRJ45SCPOPX is a surge protection module designed for RJ45 data and communication lines, providing protection against transient voltage surges and sneak current events up to 52 Vrms. Sneak current protection is a critical feature for low-voltage communication circuits where continuous low-level overcurrent can damage sensitive downstream equipment over time. This module installs inline on structured cabling runs to protect network equipment, control panels, and communication devices from surge damage caused by lightning, switching transients, or induced voltage. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network installers are the primary trades that specify and install this type of device.

This module is suited for residential and light commercial communication installations where RJ45-terminated data or control wiring is exposed to surge risk. Typical applications include building automation networks, access control wiring, security system data lines, and Ethernet runs in environments with elevated lightning or electrical noise exposure. The plug-on form factor allows straightforward field installation without tools or specialty crimping equipment, making it practical for both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Sneak current protection rated at 52 Vrms to guard against low-level continuous overcurrent on communication lines
• RJ45 interface for direct compatibility with standard structured cabling terminations
• Plug-on module design supports fast field installation without additional hardware
• Designed for low-voltage communication and data circuit protection
• Sold as a single unit for flexible deployment on individual circuit runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surge protection module for RJ45 communication and data circuits in low-voltage systems. No specific compatible model numbers or replacement part numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communication circuits. De-energize and disconnect the communication line before installing or removing the module. Verify polarity and circuit voltage ratings are within the module specifications before applying power. Do not install on circuits exceeding the rated Vrms value of this device.
