POE ports dead after lightning strike
Hi, I own a SG350X-48P. Today we had a massive thunderstorm coming through and one lightning strike must have hit my house or at least very close by. Lightning and thunder was
Contact UsHome / 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.
