No more coax.
Strikezorbs do protect from damage caused by lightning strikes. Equipment that takes a direct hit is toast, but anything else connected to it, wont suffer, all the zorbs will ground out and will dissipate the charge safely bringing everything to the “same reference”. Plenty of times ive had tower strikes and the only thing wrong was a DC circuit breaker.
Do you know why the telephone company uses positive ground? Positive grounding has been used in the telecommunications industry for many years, primarily because the grounded positive electrode of a battery bank will corrode at a much slower rate than a grounded negative electrode.
I’d always been told that it was because cathodic transfer in the underground wiring would go onto the wires, making them thicker, rather than out of the wires… eventually making them open up.
-48V is cheaper to run. The AC/DC power conversion, copper cabling, DC bullet breakers, and DC equipment is the cheapest over the the other options. -48V systems would use 1/0 power cable with 100amp breakers and the same manufacturer (Nokia 2G BTS) on 24V would need 4/0 cable and 250amp breakers. Depending on how far the cabinet is from the power source, the copper price comparisons were steep. Plus we had to install 750 MCM L3 grounding for the 1800W DC power plant and in the 2010’s 750 MCM was around $33 a LF. A copper thief’s dream hit.
The first Hollywood movie to combine Spielberg with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan was the box-office flop called JOE VS THE VOLCANO. Hanks was a fireman whose firestation (a Freemasonic temple) had poisoned him with “brain cloud”, precursor to our modern “brain fog” so common among those exposed to microwave radiation (despite them denying and swearing opposite of the tens of thousands of military and scientific studies proving them wrong). At that time ~ 1997, very few firestations had cell towers, but the plan was to install first-wave cell towers at firestations. This movie was in-part predictive programming, to normalize associate the concept of brain-fog as linked to cell towers. DR MAGDA HAVAS entire career has been to prove how true this is; others have joined along the way including DR DEVRA DAVIS, BARRY TROWER, DR GEORGE CARLO and many others. TOXI site has much more.
