Chapter The internal lightning protection system
. This en-
sures that the shield not exposed the full current
at just one end. The larger
the difference potential, the greater the equalising
currents.

If the shield impacted lightning, the gas-dis-
charge protector ignites.5 Transmission characteristics
Due their sensitive signal levels, data cables are
particularly susceptible interference. This done con-
necting the shield the equipotential bonding via a
gas-discharge protector. The connection the other
end has low resistance, leads directly the
equipotential bonding, the lightning current or
surge voltage can arrested both ends. The high impedance one end prevents
equalising currents from flowing.
Equalising currents are, however, still able flow
through the shield. This can lead
to connection errors complete interruption the
signal. the current too great and the shield can-
not withstand it, cable fires can occur. the two systems are
connected via the shield, the equalising currents at-

istance different different earthing systems, thus
creating potential difference. the losses are too great, certain transmission

Cable shields minimise interference conducting
away the currents from the parasitic capacitances. case interventions the cable, for ex-
ample the integration connection sockets, plugs
and adapters, even the bending radius too
small, can safely assumed that signal losses will
occur.1. Because the gas-discharge
protector has resistance several gigaohms, there
is direct connection between the individual earthing
systems.3. The integ-
