i read the brochures..some stated you need to ground it...but some is not mention if it that particular device you need to ground it? what is the diff?

recommended to get the power source protection as well... the surge may come from power line and strike ur modem even though ur modem tel line protected by cal-lab... in facts we have few cases that power line can bring surge...

FYI, SP9201DAF act as ADSL splitter filter...


the models required to be ground are SP9201DSL, SP9210DAF, MD-FC, MD-BNC, MDTV9922, etc which doesnt come with power source protection and no able to isolate the surge into earth... if the models come with power source protection and the surge able to isolate thru the power cable and going into earth... that the reasons are recommended to ground the grounding wire (if any) into any earth point or 3pin power socket's earth pin, otherwise the isolated surge no where to go and cal-lab unit chosen self-destruct to protect equipments effectively

SP9201DSL, Protect:T -> RRP:RM29, No Discount (Compatible with ADSL2 connection) VS SP9201DAF, Protect:T -> RRP:RM43, 10%off, Now:RM39 (Compatible with ADSL2 connection)

What is the different with this two? The cons and pros?

performance are same, only used for different usage...
SP9201DSL: for modem only (NOT for telephone usage)
SP9201DAF: for modem and telephone (ADSL Spliter Filter)

Hmm, what do you recommend for the modem phone line + modem ?

possible draw a connection diagram between PC, modem, ADSL spliter filter, telephone? include the distance between equipments will be better... do ur networking involved more than 2 PCs?

Only the modem and phone i need to protect.
The rest of the pc is wireless.
And if they are burned, well not really my problem

i recommend the combination of MDSC0039 + SP9201DAF will be the best if ur modem and telephone located at the same island...

Hmm, alright, I will take MDSC0039 + SP9201DAF then

hi gkl83, what do you recommend for hooking up to my house alarm system? (the one where when the alarm triggers, it will auto call the mobile phone)

can be either SF9512D or SF9812D... (if ur alarm system have 3 pin power socket and RJ11 connector)
protect the power source and tel source...

Hi need advise what is best for lightning protection on Astro. I currently have the belkin 8 plug gold series power surge protector. On this surge protector it only has the normal TV aerial connection In/Out. I dont use this but only Astro. I need something to protect between the Astro Dish and the Decoder. What can you recomend? Will the MF-FC be enough or have to use in combination?

Hi,

Looking for something to protect my ADSL Modem. Twice being struck by lightning this month. Really burns mu pocket everytime..

I just need something simple, just to protect the modem from the telephone line. Need something between my modem and the main telephone cable. What would you recommend?

TQ

but may i know ur equipments within ur networking? maybe have few PCs connected by wired lan cable?
do u have telephone nearby ur equipments?

if ur area prone lightning, i recommended SF9812DSL that will the convenient to do replacement and cheap replacement cost if u only have 1 set PC and 1 modem within ur networking...

My setup is pretty simple, I have a wireless ADSL AP, connect to the telephone line. The rest of the pc is connected via wireless. The telehone is nearby to the modem. The pc's are not that concerning me,its more on protecting the wireless ADSL modem.

Can u recomend me a surge protector juz for the modem only?
Will the protector affect my internet connection (like hard to connect or slow sppeed)?

My area recently get heavy rain and heavy lightning, oredy burn 2 modem in less than 1 week...... T__T

since u have telephone located nearby ur modem... highly believe that ur ADSL splitter filter locating nearby as well...
i recommend u to use SP9201DAF + MDSC0039 to protect modem and telephone...


SF9812DSL will suit for ur requirements "prone lightning area!!!"
it wont effect ur connection speed and u wont feel it slow... but in technically may effect 1-3% because of filtration...
if cal-lab devices will effect connection speed or it fail to protect equipment, i wont survive for 2 years+ at LYN...

Hi, hope to get some recommendations.

Need protection for phone line (to telephone and modem) and power socket. Need ~8 3-pin power outlets :-\

expecting to protect telephone and modem which located at the same area/room?
so far only Twin Power Pack have 4*3pin and 6*2pin and support up to 2000w... enough for u?
all of ur equipments located at the same area/room too?

Yup everything is located quite close together. Aw, but I need all of it to be 3-pin No other choices?
