Protection principle
A device only protected against surge voltages all
energy and data cables connected the device are
integrated into the equipotential bonding system the
lightning protection zone transitions (local equipoten-
tial bonding).
DIN VDE 0845-1
Protection telecommunication systems against lightning, electrostatic discharges and surge
voltages from electric power installations; provisions against surge voltages.7: Standards referring surge protection information technology
Comparison
Like the surge protective devices used the field of
energy technology, data cable protection devices are
also categorised class. OBO Bettermann offers complete
range tried-and-tested, highly functional and reliable
data cable protection devices for all standard telecom-
munication and information technology systems. Some important standards are listed here.
