Proper Grounding/Lighting Protection
Posted: Wed May 02, 2018 2:26 pm
I want to try to confirm proper grounding/lighting protection when using the Netonix Wisp Switch.
We have just started using WS-12-250-DC and ground using the front ground screw. We are also using L-Com rack mounted lighting protection. This model. We have the main Cat5e line from the radio coming down into the enclosure then running into the lighting protection first. We then jumper out of the lighting protection and connect into the switch. We then have an optical fiber going from the switch into the router for further isolation. Both lighting protection and grounding are sharing the same ground bus.
Is this good practice? Is it overkill for California where we never get lighting? Are we doing anything wrong? Thank you for any help.
