11C Cabling Reasonably

In the actual network environment, you may need cable outdoors and indoors, and

the requirements for cabling outdoors and indoors are different. A reasonable cabling

system can decrease the damage of induced lightning to devices.

Note: It's not recommended using Ethernet cables outdoors. When cabling outdoors,

please use a signal lightning arrester.

■

Requirements for Cabling Outdoors

■

Aerial cabling without safeguard is not allowed.

■

It’s not allowed cabling down the building to connect network devices in different

floors.

■

Outdoor cables should be buried and paved to the indoor through basement. A

piece of steel wire should be paved underground along the pipe and connected to

the lightning protection terminal of the building for shielding. Before connecting the

cable to the device, install a signal lightning arrester on the corresponding port.

■

When an aerial cable is set up, the cable should be through a metal pipe (15m long

at least1 before coming into the building. The two ends of this metal pipe should

be grounded. Before connecting the cable to the device, install a signal lightning

arrester on the corresponding port.

■

It’s not necessary to pave STP cables through pipes. The shielded layer of STP cable

should be well grounded. Before connecting the cable to the device, install a signal

lightning arrester on the corresponding port.

Lightning Protection

Gigabit Unmanaged Switch

■

Requirements for Cabling Indoors

When cabling indoors, keep a certain distance away from the devices that may cause

high-frequency interferences, such as down-conductor cable, powerline, power

transformer and electromotor.

■

The main cable should be paved in the metal raceway of the access shaft. When

cabling, keep the loop area formed by the cable itself as small as possible.

111 EquiCotential Bonding

Equipotential Bonding is the practice of intentionally electrically connecting all earthed

systems to the same grounding grid or connecting the grounding grids of all the

earthed systems together through the ground or overground metal so as to create

an earthed equipotential zone. When lightning occurs, the high voltage produced by

lightning current in all systems will meanwhile exist in their ground cables, and thus

all ground cables have the same electrical potential and basically eliminate the electric

strikes between the systems.

The figure below illustrates how to practice equipotential bonding in a network.
