Appendix C. Lightning Protection 160
Appendix C. Lightning Protection
Lightning protection is used to maximize the reliability of communications equipment by safely re-directing current
from a lightning strike or a power surge traveling along the Cat 5 Ethernet cabling to 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.
