how can I ground the SXT? supplied with plastic and POE power supply is not grounded. Where is ESD protection?
What devices are ESD protection on the Ethernet? In Datasheet not written anything about the ESD on the Ethernet. The ESD is only on the RF port But Not on Ethernet. Why?
The equipment is not damaged by using direct lightning. Only surges. PC or switch is not damaged. Typically RB711 is damaged.
This is damaged equipment only last week on ethernet ports or power supply on board!!!
the unit, I remove the ground cable FTP cable and connect it to the ground loop? seriously? Why it can not connect to the shield connector, as with normal FTP install?
How do I connect the cable on the other side? That part of what is inside the house?

All outdoor devices have ESD protection on ethernet also (RB750, RB450 don’t have). Detailed kV numbers I don’t have available right now, I will find out and post.
I gave you link to the manual where it is explained that you have to connect a grounding wire to the grounding installation in the tower. It’s not so hard to understand. You said you had difficulty and needed a drawing. A drawing takes time.
Here is a quick illustration of the grounding connector. Attach a grounding wire to the grounding installation of the tower.
The installation infrastructure (towers and masts), as well as antennas and the router itself must be properly grounded, and lightning arrestors must be installed on all external antenna cables (near the antennas or on the antennas themselves) to prevent equipment damage and human injury. Note that lightning arrestors will not have any effect if not grounded.
Use 1 AWG (7mm in diameter) wire with corrosion-resistant connectors for grounding. Be sure to check that the grounding infrastructure you use is indeed functional (as opposed to decorative-only grounding present on some sites).
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.
Grounding wire (at least 6mm2) should be connected to RouterBOARD grounding connector, this wire is connected to bottom of the tower and connection to the tower is according to the standards.
Ethernet port ligthing protectors are not recommended, as most of them are not intended to use for PoE (they are shortening PoE supply). If protectors are used, they could be placed at the outdoor case, where RouterBOARD and grounding pads are connected.
you crazy? this has to be CPE for clients. We will not pass 7 mm2 cable to the unit. How could fasten 7 mm2 cable grounding connector? How do I bring out from the unit? Sorry, but this solution is totally out. Competitive equipment is not damaged and RB711 are damaged often enough.
Why cat5e shielded enough? Source, with a grounding pin. Metal PoE. As the competition.
These products don’t have Ethernet ESD protection:
RB750, RB750GL, RB250GS, RB1200.
ALL other products on our website has both RF and Ethernet ESD protection. See brochures for values in kV (same for RF and also for Ethernet).
ALL the products that have ESD protection, support protection with a shielded cable. The cable connects the grounding either to the ethernet Shield, or to a special grounding pin inside the connector, if there is no outside shield (plastic connector).
Normis, could You tell me please WHERE EXACTLY is “protection” at RB711-5Hn board? I can’t see any “protectors” at the board, and LAN port is directly connected to processor chip.
