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.

Module Information - continued
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 intro-
duced by the PNETR6. Use Table 1 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 surges and
spikes caused by lightning and electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is compatible with cable television
(CATV), a digital satellite system (DSS), television, video cassette 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.
Model PTEL2R (Analog Telephone Protection)
The PTEL2R module protects analog devices, including telephones, ADSL, ISDN2, voice mail, automated
answering systems, fax machines and modems, from damage caused by lightning-generated electrical
transients. Each PTEL2R module protects up to 2 lines.
Model P232R (RS232 Protection)
The P232R module is used for RS232 communications (RS232 multiports, asynchronous multiplexers,
asynchronous printer spoolers) using unshielded, twisted-pair wiring with RJ-45 connectors. It protects up
to four ports per unit.

Models PNETR5 and PNETR6 (Cat 5 and Cat 6 Network Protection)
The PNETR5 and PNETR6 modules protect the ports of network interface cards (NICs), hubs or other local
area network (LAN) equipment from damage caused by electrical transients over a Cat5 or Cat6 data line.
Both the PNETR5 and PNETR6 are compatible with 10Base-T, 100Base-T4, 100Base-TX, 100VG, Token
Ring Type 3 UTP port (RJ-45), and VoIP standards and applications. Both modules comply with IEEE 802.3
and IEEE 802.5. PNETR6 is also compatible with 1000Base-T/Cat6 and IEEE 802.12 Ethernet standard,
Category 5 and 6. PNETR5 and PNETR6 key specifications are listed below.
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 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.).
