AX500 Series Installation Manual
To enhance the protection, make sure the surge protector is installed as close to the AP as possible. The
Ethernet cable between the surge protector and the AP unit should be of shield type and the length of the
cable run should be made as short as possible. At last, don’t forget to ground the surge protector to a
reliable earth ground point at site with a ground wire. For proper installation and grounding, please follow
the installation guide provided by your surge protector supplier. If necessary, you may also consult premises’
electrical engineers and follow local electrical codes and standards for proper grounding on site.
The table below lists the minimum requirement of Ethernet surge protector to use with AX500 product series
without incompatibility issue. You can also contact us for the suitable models on offer if necessary.
