You have to ensure that proper grounding is used for equipment,

  1. Only shielded and outdoor usage Ethernet cables should be used, magnetic
    shield should be grounded via shielded RJ-45 connector or via additional wire
    that is soldered to RJ45 or ground wire.

  2. Grounding wire (at least 6mm2) should be connected to RouterBOARD case,
    this wire is connected to bottom of the tower and connection to the tower is
    according to the standards.
    Antenna grounding wire is connected near RouterBOARD Outdoor case, this wire
    could be connected to the same RouterBOARD grounding wire.

Where’s the Routerboard grounding hole or something in Routerboard?
I was planning to do it like,
Using cat6 cable.
Use Coax. Lightning protector near Outdoor box
Use Lan protector near outdoor box
Use Power Supply with Grounding included.

rzirzi, you need to choose and calculate;

  • use proper grounding and other options to protect from lightening;
  • ready to change the equipment during the storm season.
