7 Device protection classes
Objects risk from lightning and surge voltage are
classified into lightning protection zones (LPZs). The protection class marked many
OBO surge protection devices. The terms
(a)symmetrical and (a)synchronous are also used in
relation transmission systems such DSL. fault coupled onto
a signal-carrying wire, will couple onto the second
wire well. Supply lines such energy and data
cables often run through all the zones. The
aim these LPZs reduce the amplitude the
lightning current/surge voltage individual zones to
at least value the voltage resistance the devices
in that zone.1. this case the signal voltage
changes relation reference potential/earth.6 Symmetrical and asymmetrical data transfer
Asymmetrical interfaces consist data conductor
and earth wire.1.TBS

In symmetrical data transmission, instead one data
cable, two data cables are used carry signal, for
example the case Twisted Pair cables.

Chapter The internal lightning protection system
. During downlink/download, the data rate
generally differs considerably from that during up-
link/upload. In
SDSL the two data rates are the same. These
terms refer the symmetry synchronicity the
data rate. Due the phase difference, the interfer-
ence signal virtually cancelled out. For example, with ADSL, data can be
downloaded faster than they can uploaded.
A suitable surge protection device must chosen for
each zone
