Ethernet to Ethernet Grounded ESD Protection
The ETH-SP is engineered to protect any Power‑over‑Ethernet (PoE) or non‑PoE device with connection speeds of up to 1 Gbps.
ESD Protection for Outdoor PoE Devices
Damaging electrostatic discharge attacks and surges are diverted to the ETH-SP and safely discharged into the ground, so network devices are protected.
Additional ESD Protection
All Ubiquiti® airMAX® devices are equipped with built-in ESD protection, so the ETH‑SP adds another layer of protection to your outdoor, high-speed network.
Plug and Play Installation
Connect the ground and Ethernet cables in between your network devices.
Only ~$12 for a little insurance and piece of mind!
