G.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 BDU and ADU.
G.11.1 Recommendations:
1-5 pcs. hinged clamp cores (e.g. the RFC or SFC series from Kitagawa)
mounted on the antenna cable nearby the ADU
