Transtector’s DPR Series is engineered for high performance, compact versatile surge protection of GigE, 10/100BT, POE, T1/E1 and xDSL equipment used for communications circuits. The individual modules can be used as standalone surge protection device that are an inline component and can be mounted to the wall or DIN rail (clip included and functions as ground connector). Configured in the 19″ rack chassis, the array of 16 modules act also serve as a cross connect. For the ultimate in scalability and reliability, Transtector’s non-degrading, high performance advanced surge protection devices are the solution. Except for the Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) Protection Module, all of the DPR Protection Podules utilize Silicon Avalanche Diode technology. The 16 module wide array unit consists of individual protection modules that mount onto the 19″, 1U high rack chassis with connections from the front face (LINE) through to the back face (protected EQUIP). Each protection module type is marked from the front and back ends with a color dot to distinguish circuit types per the color legend on the front (Green =xDSL, Amber =T1/E1, Gold =10/100BT, Purple =1000BT).

The DPR is a fully configured rack system with six each T1 protection modules, five each 10/1 OOBT protection modules and five each xDSL protection modules as illustrated on page 1. The Rack Housing Kit can be bought separately and field equipped with any combination of Protection Modules, up to 16 modules total.

The individual Protection Module is illustrated in Figure 1 and is available as a stand-alone protection product with a 35mm DIN rail grounding clip. The stand-alone DIN rail clip and/or 19″ Rack Housing must be securely grounded for proper operation. All protection configurations offer straight through pin-outs from the input to output connectors. In the unlikely event of surge protection self sacrifice, the individual protection modules will reliably fail short to disrupt communication. The GDT Protection Module only will offer Primary surge protection and fail mode as per GR-1089-13.1.
