Forking this off to a new thread so it will be more easily found by others looking for surge protection info in the future.
What type of surge would one use on the RS485 bus? As we get closer to making this happen, I'm now seeing at least 3 runs of Cat5e in the 25' conduit between buildings:
1) M1 RS485 data bus connecting a DBH in each building
2) Thermostat RS485 data bus connecting RCS stats in each building to an XSP
3) Ethernet between buildings
How would one properly put surge protection on these lines?
Thanks
As always, don't forget about surge when running wires underground between buildings.
