3M™ Switching Module STG2 O2
3M™ Disconnection Module STG2 C2
A full range for dierent applications
The 3M™
The 3M Disconnection Module STG2 C2 features a normally closed contact
that provides a disconnection point between the cable and jumper sides by
insertion of a disconnection plug as well as a “look both ways” test point for
line measurement and monitoring. The disconnection module can typically
where isolating the line for disconnection and test purposes is necessary.
The 3M™ Switching Module (“normally opened”) STG2 02 provides a
connection that can only be made by insertion of a test cord, patch cord
cords or a safety connection point which allows isolation of the line when
the protector is removed.
Built for high speed
In the critical NEXT (near-end cross-talk) measurement, the 3M STG2000
bandwidth now, and reserve bandwidth for future upgrades. The 3M STG2000
module can handle VDSL2 bit rates, enabling service providers to support
their customer requirements for high speed applications and quality of service.
Over-voltage
and over-current
protection of
equipment
A wide range of single-pair or
multi-pair protection products
are available in the 3M STG2000
product line. Lightning is not the
only potential cause of damage
to network equipment. Direct or
indirect contact between power
and telecommunications cables,
known as power cross, can also
pose a threat to equipment and
personal safety.
between 3-point and 5-point
protection circuits.
3-point protection
3M STG2000 modules can be
protected with a heavy-duty
3-electrode/pole gas discharge
tube also featuring a fail-safe
device. Three-point protectors
handle large voltage spikes
commonly generated by lightning
surges. In case of a lasting surge,
the fail-safe device will ground
the voltage to earth.
Three-point protection solutions
for the 3M STG2000 modules are
available in multi-pair protection
or single-pair protector modules.
5-point protection
3M STG2000 disconnection and
switching modules can also be
protected with single pair 5-point
protectors that combine a heavy-
duty 3-electrode/pole gas discharge
tube (with a fail-safe device)
together with two series elements,
that limit the current by increasing
their resistance. This feature is
achieved by careful selection of the
protective elements used and greatly
limits the need for maintenance.
