  • How to protect against lightning near fiber optic cables

    How to protect against lightning near fiber optic cables

    Implementing lightning protection strategies such as surge protection devices, grounding systems, lightning rods, and proper cable design can help safeguard fiber optic cables and the networks they support. Lightning-induced surges can travel through power lines, telecommunication lines, or nearby metallic structures and pose a. To help protect my network, I've set up a fiber isolation barrier using a couple of fiber media converters. This simple trick keeps potential surges from traveling across my internet line into my sensitive LAN devices. Here's the setup I used and why it's effective. This involves connecting the cable to a grounding system that can dissipate the. The major purpose of lightning protection systems is to conduct the high current lightning discharges safely into the Earth/ground. However, because fiber optic cable has strengthened core, especially the direct-buried fiber optic cable has armoring layer.
