Where does a PoE switch get damaged by lightning strikes

Home / Where does a PoE switch get damaged by lightning strikes

Yes, in real-world deployments, especially in outdoor or industrial settings, PoE switches can be susceptible to electrical transients such as lightning strikes or power grid disturbances. These surges can propagate along the Ethernet cable and damage the switch and the devices it. What is the explanation? What can I do to avoid it? Can the lightning enter through the indoor network cabling? Or maybe through some network device not connected to UPS?Today we had a massive thunderstorm coming through and one lightning strike must have hit my house or at least very close by. Core protection: Build a standardized grounding system and install compatible PoE surge protectors at key locations.

Best Methods for Protecting Against Surge Events in Ethernet and

The source of this damage may be from the voltage drops in the ground impedance due to the high currents of the lightning strike (ground loops) in addition to the voltage developed due to Faraday''s

How would a lighting strike, or power surge, effect a (POE) switch and

When the magnetic field created by a lightning strike collapses, it can induce high voltage into anything metal. In that instance network cables and power wiring are good antennas, capturing that voltage

Although a direct lightning discharge is pretty impressive, it''s rarely the cause of damage like this. It''s likely what you''re seeing is induced voltage difference between ground points. Induced
