the building. In the event of a local strike, the Ethernet surge arrester instantaneously limits
sudden voltage surges across the cable.
Note:
The Avaya-provided series indoor Ethernet surge arrester is not rated for outdoor use. You
must only install the device indoors.
Warning:
You are required to have a rated surge protector for any cable exiting the building. The
required components must be rated and approved for use in the intended application.
Complete the following general safety guidelines when installing the Avaya Ethernet surge
arrester:
• Mount the Ethernet surge arrester indoors close to the Ethernet cable exit point from the
building. The cables must exit the building through a customer-provided access, possibly
through the drilled hole where there are communications pipes.
• For best results, install the Ethernet surge arrester indoors in close proximity to a low-
resistance ground at a point where the Ethernet cable exits the building.
• Install the Ethernet surge arrester in an indoor accessible location that allows for periodic
inspection. Provide drip loops in the cables to prevent water from entering the building.
• To connect the Ethernet surge arrester to ground, use the shortest and most direct run
possible with #8 solid copper wire (or equivalent).
