3. Lightning & ESD Protection
Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices.
By using shielded CAT5e (or above) cable with ground wire for the
connection and the provided PoE adapter (method
1
), you can
effectively eliminate ESD attacks. If you use the general CAT5e cable for
the connection, then it is necessary to connect the grounding terminal
of the CPE to earth ground through grounding cable (method
2
).
