Gas Tube Protector
Modules

Proven Protection for PBXs and Key Telephone Systems 

Porta Systems' Gas Tube Protector Modules are dependable plug-in devices that guard sensitive telecommunications systems from dangerous voltage surges

The gas tubes utilize a three-element design which prevents destructive line-to-line metallic over-voltages protecting PBXs and key systems as conventional two-element gas tubes cannot.

The modules include a heat-activated fail-safe mechanism that provides additional protection against power crosses. Internal test points allow easy test access to the outside plant. Modules are also equipped with a secondary air gap for backup protection.
