The family of industrial-grade USB port protectors with affordable USBSSP2 “USB Sentinel” USB 3.0 surge suppressor, has been expanded by B&B Electronics. B&B Electronics’ USB Sentinel is compact and portable, joining in-line between the computer and the peripheral device to protect it from surges, spikes, and electrostatic discharge that can occur when connecting computers to equipment in the field and factors.
With advanced heavy industrial emissions standards, an EN61000-6-2 heavy industrial rating and a wide (0 to 80°C) operating temperature, the USB Sentinel is small enough to tuck into a pocket or a laptop bag, yet very tough to stand up to repeated use in harsh environments.

The passive USB Sentinel device delivers fast, 20 microsecond clamping of surges, up to 700 volts on the data lines and 1000 volts on the power lines- without interfering with normal USB 3.0 connectivity. The device is transparent to the operating system, host computer or hub, and it requires no drivers. The USB device is also compatible with USB 2.0, providing a single USB surge suppression solution.

This suppressor is suitable for field service technicians, as well as fixed installations in industrial automation, instrumentation, security, kiosks, point-of-sale and laboratory market applications.
