Location categories and exposure levels explained

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.
