Re: Re: running cat5e outside



I'm not an expert, but if lightning hit and entered a particular cable run then everything in its path would be destroyed. Also bear in mind that all our equipment racks should have a good earth attached and as such provide a good return to earth !
 
This happened a few years ago (286 days), I had a serial lead attached to my PC at the time. The lightning jumped about 2m onto the serial cable and entered the pc via the serial port. Luckily everyone was out at the time, but the lightning's path could be traced via the burn marks etc. It even damaged TV's, video's etc in the neighbours houses !
