ATIS 0600012.06

The purpose of this ATIS Standard is to assist the service provider in choosing appropriate grounding and protection methods for Ethernet over radio communications circuits. This ATIS Standard describes protector characteristics that may impact Ethernet radio systems for outside plant, point to point and point to multi-point applications, and the services provided over these links. This document describes recommended best practices for grounding and bonding and primary protection for ethernet radio antennas and cables mounted on towers and residential and small business structures. This is a subtending document and is intended to be used with the Broadband umbrella document ATIS 0600012, Electrical Protection Considerations for Broadband Systems.
