    Running network outdoors between buildings

    All telephones connect to a $multi-million computer using fiber? Of course not. Effective protection has been routine for over 100 years using only copper wire. Most have damage because they, instead, use knowledge from advertising. Protection is defined by a single point earth ground...

    Gigabit Switches on a Long Ethernet Run

    Even 90% packet loss is a completely defective circuit. If not using an oscilloscope, then just close your eyes to shoot a gun at any direction hoping to hit a target. Without actual signal levels (numbers), then everything is only wild speculation. Same reason why dB numbers are so...

    Question on Lightning Protection for Networks

    To know that means tracing the complete path from cloud to earth. What did it go through? Not everything that conducted that current will show damage. Usually damaged is only one item in a long list of conductors between cloud and earth. Most common entry point is via AC mains. Many...
