Eaton B110-SP-10G – In-Line 10G Network Surge Protector

Product Overview

The Eaton B110-SP-10G is an in-line network surge protector built for 10 Gbps Ethernet infrastructure, using a metal case and Cat5/5e/6/6a/8 compatibility to safeguard switches, servers, and other network equipment. It protects against electrostatic discharge, power surges, and cable discharge events that can damage sensitive network ports. IEC and TAA compliance make it a fit for both commercial network closets and government network installations.

Product Description

This 10G-rated surge protector installs in-line between a network source and a connected device, using standard Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, or Cat8 cabling with no change to existing patch cords. Its rugged metal case is designed to withstand the physical demands of network closets, data center cabinets, and structured cabling rooms where equipment is frequently accessed. A grounding wire is included so the unit can be properly bonded to the rack or cabinet ground, which is essential for effective surge and ESD dissipation. Supporting data rates up to 10 Gbps means the B110-SP-10G will not become a bottleneck when protecting switches, NICs, or patch panels on modern 10GbE network segments. Cable discharge events, which occur when a charged cable is connected to sensitive electronics, are a common and often overlooked cause of network port failure; this unit is specifically designed to guard against them. It is well suited to data centers, server rooms, and network closets where 10G Ethernet infrastructure represents a significant capital investment worth protecting. The unit also serves home and corporate security systems, home theaters, and digital signage networks where high-speed network drops are exposed to surge risk. Because it requires no power supply or configuration, it can be added to an existing network run in minutes during a maintenance window.
