Common FAQs

Can the ETH-SP-G2 be used with PoE devices?
Yes. The ETH-SP-G2 supports both PoE and non-PoE systems without affecting performance.

Do I need more than one surge protector?
For maximum protection, it’s recommended to install two units – one near the CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) and another at the building entry point.

Does this slow down my network speed?
No. The ETH-SP-G2 is gigabit-compatible, so your network performance remains unaffected.

 Is it necessary if my airMAX device already has built-in protection?
Yes. While Ubiquiti airMAX devices include basic ESD protection, adding the ETH-SP-G2 ensures compliance with grounding standards and offers extra protection against severe surges.

Outdoor networks in Kenya face frequent lightning strikes, unstable power conditions, and ESD threats. The ETH-SP-G2 provides a low-cost insurance policy to protect expensive networking equipment, reduce service calls, and ensure network uptime.
