by the use of this product. These damages include, but are not limited
to, the following: lost profits, lost savings and incidental or

expressed or implied, and the installation or use of this product shall be
deemed an acceptance of these terms by the user.

container. This number may be obtained from Patton Electronics
Technical Service at [phone]; http://www.patton.com;

3.0 INSTALLATION
Take these 4 steps to install your Patton Model 56X.
Note: Make sure you follow the installation instructions exactly.
If the suppressor is improperly installed, the current-limiting
feature could be rendered inoperable.
1. Disconnect the twisted pair network cables from your hub.
2. Connect your network cables to an input port on your Model
56X. Since the Model 56X provides bidirectional protection,
the front or rear ports can be used as the input from your
network.
3. Using the RJ-45 cables provided, connect each of the output
ports to an input port of your hub. Note that the 56X features
a straight through design. Data entering the hub protector at
an RJ-45 input will leave the protector at the RJ-45 output that
is located directly behind it.
4. Connect the braided metal strap on the Model 56X to a nearby
chassis ground. In industrial applications, the ground strap
can be removed from the terminal post to allow alternative
ground connections to be added. If you are not sure of the
proper grounding for your Model 56X, please contact Patton
Electronics Technical Service at: [phone];
http://www.patton.com; or [email protected].
Note: We highly recommend that you use a surge protection device
at both ends of your 10Base-T ports. For the best products to meet
your needs, contact Patton Electronics Sales at:

2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for your purchase of this Patton Electronics product.
This product has been thoroughly inspected and tested and is
warranted for One Year parts and labor. If you have any questions
about this product, please call Patton Electronics Technical Support at:
[phone]; [email protected]; or, http://www.patton.com.
2.1 FEATURES
• Guards 4, 6, 8 or 12 10Base-T ports simultaneously
• Four models are available: 4, 6, 8, or 12 10Base-T protectors per
enclosure
• Surge handling capability of up to 1.5KW
• Conforms to the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Standard
• Surge energy is diverted to ground through a braided metal strap
• Compact design perfect for hub protection
• Made in the U.S.A.
2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 56X Series is built to answer the question of how
to provide transient protection for multiple Ethernet 802.3 10Base-T
ports spaced closely together on a hub. It is a very compact box that
houses 4, 6, 8, or 12 surge protectors in a high-density array. Matching
input and output ports on the front and rear panels allow the Model 56X
Series to conveniently connect in-line with each port on your 10Base-T
hub.
All versions of the Model 56X support data rates of up to 10Mbps.
Harmful data line transients on the hub ports are diverted directly to
chassis ground through the use of a solid state hybrid circuit. The
Model 56X is able to handle repeated surges up to 1.5KW without a
degradation in performance. Most importantly, the Model 56X protects
transparently and will not slow your network down.
Warning—Should your equipment or building be subject to a direct
lightening strike, this product will not provide complete protection.
