4.3.1 Outside Plant 2BASE-TL Primary Protectors
The HN4000 is expected to be installed with primary protectors on the outside plant 2BASE-TL copper
pairs. The primary protectors should have a voltage limiting capability of approximately 600V at
1000V/µs.
Hatteras Networks recommends a primary protector with characteristics similar to the Bourns
455HS-BC as shown in the following table. In addition to its protection capabilities, the 455HS-BC is
well balanced for use in 2BASE-TL applications.
