Data transfer, cloud computing, servers, data storage, which have developed rapidly in the last decade, have become an indispensable part of life in every field. In parallel with this development, information storage and the protection of information transfer are of great importance.
Data transmission lines and semiconductors used in server systems, cameras, computers, modems connected to these lines are very sensitive to sudden voltage pulses. For this reason, it is very important to use data protection surge arresters against sudden voltage shocks.
What are the Causes of Voltage Pulses in Data Transmission Lines?
As in the electrical network, lightning strike can damage the data lines by spreading over the ground line or due to electrostatic discharge. Another reason is that the magnetic field caused by the high overcurrents occurring in the electrical network creates induced overvoltages in the data cables with inductive coupling. Again, high overcurrents occurring in the electricity network can also be mixed into the data lines by way of propagation other than induction.
What Happens If Data Transmission Lines Are Not Protected Against Voltage Shocks?
Today, there is almost no area where data transmission lines are not used. Data Centers and Banks, Base Stations, Factories, Industrial Facilities, Hospitals, Schools, Airports are the areas where data transmission is very important with their server rooms and security cameras. In these areas, voltage pulses transmitted to electronic devices through data transmission lines cause these devices to deteriorate rapidly; therefore, it causes very high equipment damages, data loss, workforce loss, security weakness, as well as customer dissatisfaction and customer loss.
Sigma Data Protection Surge arrester is produced with Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) and Diode technology to protect data transmission lines against sudden overvoltages
With a high discharge capacity and a fast response time of less than 10ns (one hundred millionths of a second), all voltage pulses that may occur are quickly dampened without damaging the devices that ensure our safety and store our data.
