If your electrical utility uses pole-mounted distribution lines,
transformers, service drops, etc., and lightning strikes the
high-voltage conductors, there will be a surge on the customer service
conductors that places persons and property at risk. If lightning jumps
to the customer service conductors, then the risk to persons and
property can be extreme.
How do you know that the damage your equipment suffered was due to the
Cat 5e wiring and not due to the electrical power conductors?
