2.6 Surge protection and Shielded Ethernet cable
We highly recommend to use the shielded RJ45 cable to connect the Box, in order to protect the
device from any possible lightning or electricity surges. Both shielded FTP and S-FTP cable from
Cat5e are recommended. To protect the Gateway and Ethenet equpiment connected to it we highly
recomend using lightning and surge protectors near the Gateway and near the PoE.
