Storms keep destroying my network! Please help!

Tue May 08, 2012 6:59 pm

Hey guys, I have lost nearly $2000 worth of equipment since Friday’s storms and I am really having a really bad time and am in desperate need of your advice.

I keep losing boards and devices from these storms. Do you think that putting the motorolla surge protectors the 600SSD’s in place will prevent this? Also what surge protectors should I use for my switches that keep getting fried. We just built this whole infrastructure to deliver the new bandwidth and I am now more vulnerable than ever to damage because of how many new devices I have out there.

What do I do to completely prevent me from losing all of these boards/devices/poe’s?

Please help me...

Sounds like you have some serious grounding issues. How is everything grounded?

Shielded Cat5 cable is also recommended.
