Hello.
We are about to move into a new office building/warehouse. Bearing in mind that we've suffered loss of hardware due to lightning before, we're keen to protect the equipment as much as possible.
I am looking at what is involved in protecting the network and telcomms data cables. Having read through various related posts on this forum we've come up with this plan:
1. Our rack chassis will contain the switch, patch panel, telecomms cabling and also rack mounted surgeprotection for the data cabling e.g. APC ProtectNet:
2. We would bond the rack chassis to a convenient earth bonding point e.g. where the power comes into the building.
One thing I am not sure of is do we need any other data line protection at the other (pc/telephone) end such as the APC standalone suppressors e.g. these from APC ?
Thanks
Dan
