Lightning Protection
Lightning protection is used to maximize the reliability of the communications equipment by safely re-directing current from
a lightning strike or a power surge traveling along the STP Cat5e Ethernet cabling to the ground using the shortest path
possible. Designing a proper grounding system prior to installing any communications equipment is critical to minimize the
possibility of equipment damage, void warranties, and cause serious injury.
The surge arrestor (sometimes referred to as a lightning protector) can protect your sensitive electronic equipment from
high-voltage surges caused by discharges and transients at the PoE.
