Proxim: Surge protection of outdoor CAT5 equipment
The scope of this paper is to provide an overview of effective grounding and surge protection of outdoor deployed CAT5 connected communication systems.
The grounding issues and considerations discussed in this paper are solely limited to protection of electronic communication equipment, and do not address safety code requirements which are beyond the scope of this paper. Since electrical, safety, and building codes vary with locality, it is the responsibility of the system integrator to determine what is required for compliance
wherever the system is being deployed.
