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. The terms
(a)symmetrical and (a)synchronous are also used in
relation transmission systems such DSL. For example, with ADSL, data can be
downloaded faster than they can uploaded. During downlink/download, the data rate
generally differs considerably from that during up-
link/upload.3.7 Device protection classes
Objects risk from lightning and surge voltage are
classified into lightning protection zones (LPZs).1.6 Symmetrical and asymmetrical data transfer
Asymmetrical interfaces consist data conductor
and earth wire. The protection class marked many
OBO surge protection devices.1.TBS

Chapter The internal lightning protection system
. Supply lines such energy and data
cables often run through all the zones. The two
wires are 180° out phase.
In symmetrical data transmission, instead one data
cable, two data cables are used carry signal, for
example the case Twisted Pair cables. These
terms refer the symmetry synchronicity the
data rate. In
SDSL the two data rates are the same.
A suitable surge protection device must chosen for
each zone.3
