Data communication, signal and telephone
lines
Following on from work by the ITU, BS 6651 defines
a single location category for data communication, signal and
telephone line protectors. This is because transient overvoltages
on data communication, signal and telephone lines are not significantly
attenuated by the cable. Regardless of where protectors are
installed in the building, the worst case will be similar. Consequently,
all data communication, signal and telephone line protectors
fall within Location Category C. |
