ORDERING INFORMATION

To protect modems, FAX machines, telephones and other electronic equipment connected to a standard telephone line (RJ-11 6-pin modular connector), specify model TSS-200. To protect alarm systems, auto-dialers, or other equipment that uses an 8-pin RJ-31X modular jack, specify model TSS-201.

Optional 12" RJ-11 jumper cable is part number TSS-200-CBL. Optional 12" RJ-31 jumper cable is part number TSS-201-CBL.

The TSS-200 Telephone Line Surge Suppressor is a very heavy duty surge suppressor designed to protect modem-based equipment from damage by transients that appear on the phone line. The TSS-200 is used by many investor-owned and municipal utilities to protect telephone modems in electronic metering devices.

What distinguishes the TSS units from other suppressors is our unique three-stage design. A very high speed bi-directional SIDACTORTM works in combination with MOVs and a three-element heavy-duty gas discharge tube to provide a suppressor that has an extremely fast response time yet can also dissipate large amounts of energy. Inter-stage wirewound resistors provide better surge current handling than competing carbon-film designs. Wide PC board traces and ground planes provide additional surge handling capability.
