Thank you for purchasing APC’s Modular Dat a Line Surge Protection System. Please fill out the supplied Warranty Registration Card or an on-line Product Warranty Registration form at www.apc.com.
APC’s Modular Data Line Surge Protection System consists of a variety of interchangeable surge suppression modules installed in either a four position “PRM4” or a 24 position “PRM2 4” chassis with the mounting hardware and ground wire. A list
of the modules that are available, and the types of data lines they protect are provided below. The PRM4 is designed to mount inside a home wiring enclosure. The PRM24 is designed to mount in a standard 19-inch rack enclosure.
This manual provides basic installation information for the PRM4 chassis and associated modules. For PRM24 installation information, reference APC manual 990-1383A.
Note: Procedures provided in this document are not intended to supersede local standards or codes. Reference the Telecommunications Industries Association and Electronic Industries Alliance publication “Commercial Building,
Telecommunications Cabling Standard, General Requirements” (document number TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001) to ensure the system wiring is installed properly.

Other Considerations
• Do not install this device in an environment where the operating temperature exceeds 0 to 40oC (32 to 104oF).
• Do not install this device where the relative humidity exceeds 95%, non-condensing.
• Do not store this device in an environment that exceeds 0 to 45oC (32 to 113oF).
Chassis Installation and Groundin g
APC recommends that the ProtectNet Data Line Surge Protection chassis ( , Figure 1) PRM24, be installed using the mounting hardware provided with the chassis.
Additionally, the chassis must be connected to a proper protective earth ground. A ground stud is provided on the back of the chassis. Ensure the mounting rack or
enclosure is connected to a proper ground. Install the chassis and modules as shown in Figure 1.
Module Installation
The system chassis is designed to accomodate up to 24 data line modules.To install a module, remove one of the blank panels by pulling it straight out from the
chassis.Align the module with the groove in the chassis, and slide the module fully into the chassis.
Cable Installation
To install a data line cable , connect the input RJ-45 connector to the signal source and then to the upper connector on the m odule. Connect a data line cable fr om the
lower connector on the module to the equipment to be protected.
Note: To accomodate 24 modules, the four-wide center blank panel must be removed.

General Information
Model PNETR5 - In applications where the network data transmission rate is high and cable lengths are long,
insertion loss introduced by in-line devices is a major consideration. At the 100 Mbp/s data transmission rate
there is a small insertion loss introduced by the PNETR5. Use Table 1 below to approximate the insertion loss
introduced by the PNETR5 based on your installed cable type. The ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard specifies a
maximum UTP cable length of 150 meters per segment at 10 and 100 Mbp/s. For Thinnet, maximum cable
length is 185 meters (607 ft.).
Model PNETR6 - Applications where the network data transmission rate is high and cable lengths are long,
an insertion loss is introduced by in-line devices. At 250 Mbp/s there is a small insertion loss introduced by
the PNETR6. Use Table 1 below to approximate the insertion loss based on the installed cable type. The ISO/
IEC 8802-3 standard specifies a 150 meter maximum UTP cable length per segment at 250 Mbp/s.

Model PVR (Digital Cable Protection)
The PVR module provides digital cable protection for video/cable/modem equipment against sur ges and
spikes caused by lightning and electro static discharge (ESD). It is compat ible with cable television (CATV), a
digital satellite system (DSS), television, vi deo ca ssette recorder (VCR), cable modem and TV antenna
equipment. It is also compatible with many DSS units that have operating voltages below 26 volts DC. The
PVR is recognized by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL® ) as a secondary protector.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Notice
This equipment contains an FCC compliant RJ-45 modular jack. It is designed to be connected to the telephone
network or premises wiring using compatible modular plugs and cabling, which comply with the requirements of
FCC Part 68 rules. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN ) is used to determine the number of devices that may be
connected to the telephone line. An excessive REN may cause the equipment to not ring in response to an incoming
call. In most areas, the sum of the RENs of all equipment on a line should not exceed five (5).
In the unlikely event that this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company can
temporarily disconnect your service. The telephone company will try to warn you in advance of any such
disconnection, but if advance notice isn’t practical, it may disconnect the service first and notify you as soon as
possible afterwards. In the event such a disconnection is deemed necessary, you will be advised of your right to file
a complaint with the FCC.
From time to time, the telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, or operations that could
affect the operation of connected equipment. If this occurs, the telephone company is required to provide you with
advance notice so you can make the modifications necessary to maintain uninterrupted service. This product is not
serviceable by the user.
