Appendix C: Grounding and RF protection
C.11 Electrostatic Discharge
In addition to the RFI attenuation, mounting ferrite clamps on the antenna
cable will also slow the fast rate-of-rise of an electrostatic discharge current
pulse. This might be an issue during installation (antenna cable disconnected)
where different electrical potentials have had the chance to build up between
the terminal and antenna.
We recommend mounting 1-5 pcs. hinged clamp cores (e.g. the RFC or SFC
series from Kitagawa) on the antenna cable near the antenna.
