Leviton Telcom 3862-CON Bnc Surge Suppressor Controlnet

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 3862-CON is a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) designed for BNC connector applications on ControlNet networks. It provides protection against voltage spikes and transient events that can damage sensitive industrial communication equipment. Installed at the BNC connection point, this surface-mount unit sits inline with the network cabling to absorb and divert harmful transients before they reach connected devices. Licensed electricians and industrial network technicians are the primary installers of this type of surge protection hardware in control and automation environments.

The 3862-CON is suited for ControlNet industrial network installations where BNC-connected coaxial cabling is used. Surface-mount construction allows the unit to be positioned at accessible points along the network run, including panel enclosures, junction boxes, and wall surfaces. It is appropriate for both new installations and retrofit surge protection upgrades in manufacturing, process control, and building automation settings where ControlNet topology is deployed.

Key Features

• TVSS protection at the BNC connector interface for ControlNet coaxial networks
• Surface-mount form factor for accessible placement in control panels or enclosures
• Inline design installs without disrupting existing BNC network cabling
• Protects downstream network devices from voltage transients and spikes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surge suppressor for BNC connector ControlNet network installations in industrial and commercial control environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified industrial network technician familiar with ControlNet coaxial wiring practices. De-energize and isolate the network segment before connecting or disconnecting the suppressor at the BNC interface. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for surge protective device installation and grounding. Do not exceed the voltage and current ratings of the connected network cabling or associated BNC terminations.
