You can install a lightning arrester only for the 10M/100M electrical Ethernet interfaces supporting 

RJ-45 connectors.  

z 

No lightning arrester for network interface is supplied with the switch.  

 

If an outdoor network cable should be directly led to the switch, please serially connect the lightning 

arrester for the network interface before you plug this cable into the switch, thus to prevent possible 

damages to the switch due to lightning strike.

1)  Remove the protective paper on one side of the double-faced adhesive tape and stick it on the shell 

of the arrester, remove the protective paper on the other side and stick the arrester on the chassis 

of the switch. Keep the arrester as close to the grounding screw of the switch as possible.  

2)  Cut the ground cable of the arrester of a suitable length according to the distance between the 

arrester and the grounding screw and then fasten the cable on the grounding screw tightly.  

3)  Use the multimeter to verify whether the ground cable of the arrester has a close touch with the 

grounding screw and chassis of the switch.  

4)  Follow the instruction of the arrester to connect the arrester for network interface with a transit 

cable. Pay attention to the direction: IN end of the cable is connected to the arrester while OUT end 

of the cable is connected to the switch. After the connection, check whether the LEDs of the 

interface modules are normal.  

 

Technical parameters, installation and maintenance methods of an arrester have been given in the 

arrester instruction. Read the instruction carefully before installing the lightning arrester for the network 

interface.  

 

5)  Tie the cables together with nylon clips.
