Protectors for Coaxial Communications Circuits
UL 497C
1 Scope
1.1 These requirements cover protectors for use on coaxial cable circuits to be used in accordance with the applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code NFPA 70.
1.2 As covered by these requirements a coaxial cable circuit protector consists of single or multiple air gap arresters gas tube arresters or solid-state arresters with or without fuses or other current-limiting devices. A circuit protector is intended to protect equipment wiring and personnel at the subscriber premises against the effects of excessive potentials and currents on the coaxial line caused by lightning contacts with power conductors power induction or rises in ground potential.
1.3 This standard does not cover the following:
a) Lightning protective devices for the protection of secondary distribution wiring systems and equipment.
b) Antenna discharge units for radio and television receiving appliances.
