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 Cat 5 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 Injector.
Proxim Wireless offers superior lightning and surge protection for Tsunami QuickBridge 8100 series products. Contact your
reseller or distributor for more information.
