Telecom/Datacom Signal Line Surge Protection Products
MEGA-TEK 25 Series

The "MEGA-TEK 25 Series" surge suppressor installs directly inline with existing AMP-TYPE 25 pair cabling. This close proximity to the KSU preserves the "MEGA-TEK's" response time, clamping level and ground reference by reducing lead lengths. The "MEGA-TEK" utilizes the latest in "Plug & Play" technology super-simplifying installation. These features maximize surge suppression performance while reducing hardware and labor costs to install.

NOTE: The "MEGA-TEK" is a UL 497A telephone secondary protector and should be used in conjunction with primary telecommunication protectors (UL 497).
