Below are the specs for two Ditek surge protection devices that both are recommended to protect ethernet IP devices. It appears to me (with my limited understanding of electronics) that the MRJ45C5E offers better protection. Can anyone shed some light on these specs for me and what they mean? I have had an ehternet switch and a TV set-top box damaged by lightning in the past and s I'm trying to learn what I can about preventing more damage in the future.
DTK-110C6A DTK-MRJ45C5E
service voltage 1 - 12 volts 5
mcov 18 volts 6.5
peak surge current 100 A/pair 268 A/pair
max cont current 1.5amp/pair 0.3 amp
clamping voltage 21.6 volts 7.67
I have also looked t the APC PNET surge protector but can not find comparable specs for it.
