Lightning protection and grounding of mobile optical distribution boxes

Home / Lightning protection and grounding of mobile optical distribution boxes

This Recommendation provides guidance on protecting indoor distribution systems for mobile communication in large-scale buildings from lightning and safety risks. It emphasizes compliance with standards like IEC 62305-3, IEC 62305-4, IEC 60364 series, and ITU-T K. There are two main lightning protection grounding solutions in fiber networks, namely intermediate grounding and terminal grounding. At Thomas & Betts, our focus is on improving your business performance by providing practical, reliable.
