StarTech.com 1G-NETWORK-ISOLATOR 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Network coupler

Unexpected power spikes can corrupt data and damage costly equipment, leaving you with costly downtime. The StarTech.com 1G-NETWORK-ISOLATOR 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Network coupler is a plug-and-play Ethernet device that separates conductive paths between two RJ-45 ports, shielding your computers, servers and audio-visual gear from surges, ground loops and stray currents while maintaining full 1 Gbps performance.

Usages of a 1000 Mbps Network Isolator

In a typical lab or production floor you simply connect the isolator between a PC and a switch or between two pieces of equipment. It protects sensitive hardware during routine testing, firmware updates or when adding new devices to an existing network, ensuring a stable connection without the need for extra power supplies or software.

Benefits of StarTech.com Network Isolator

• Surge protection: Blocks up to 4 kV of electrostatic discharge, keeping your gear safe.
• Ground-loop elimination: Prevents hum and interference in audio/video setups.
• Plug-and-play: No drivers or extra wiring required, so you can install it in seconds.
• Transparent operation: Does not alter traffic, so network speed and latency stay unchanged.
• Durable mounting: Supports DIN-rail or adhesive installation for flexible placement.
