Connecting Ethernet to a stable power source using an uninterruptible power supply.
Connecting Ethernet to a stable power source using an uninterruptible power supply.
Consider grounding the Cat5 from the modem or router. Decide whether to run the cable through the backups or the router. Since you only need protection for your computer, either option works. It might be wise to secure the entire router instead. I tried placing the coaxial before the modem, but it reduced your internet speed noticeably.
there are two gold coaxial cables for input and output. it's an AP 1500, i can share the back details with you. the cables connect an antenna to a TV, and the Ethernet runs from the modem to the router. the Cat5 cables go from the router to my PC and TV.
Ethernet is built to stay separate. A small isolation transformer sits in the Ethernet port on your motherboard, another in the router and the modem. If high voltage reaches the coaxial cable outside your home, only the modem will be affected. The UPS has ports for fax-modem protection—protect a dial-up modem or fax machine in those, not the Ethernet cable. Edit: noticed the image... probably you shouldn<|pad|> to filter your signal through the UPS before it reaches the modem, since the UPS might influence the connection quality and ISP communication.
It shouldn't hurt since the speed test stayed consistent. The dip happens only when I try to run the coaxial internet cable. I also ran the antenna through, not the modem, because the house wiring already grounds the cable.
We previously had standard antennas on the rooftop for receiving over-the-air SD TV. You can still employ antennas for HD TV if nearby stations are broadcasting. Contemporary "rabbit ear" antennas can even be installed indoors and function effectively. Ideally, if a lightning strike near an outdoor antenna connects to the coaxial cable, it’s logical for upgrades to shield that cable. For traditional cable TV, modern setups often use fiber connections to the building or street, where equipment converts fiber into coaxial cable for distribution throughout homes. Upgrades may block certain frequencies used by your modem to connect with the ISP or local router, potentially causing higher latency or reduced bandwidth.
Oh, awesome because I must being doing this right then I am using a tv antenna. I'm practically running a tv station from my room. Just need a phone instead of the smartphone but same thing.. thats the tv theres a 1920x1080 monitor to the left of all that.
It's a bit tricky to say, but it sounds like you're wondering if a lightning strike might hit your window instead of higher up on the building. It's a good idea to stay safe and follow any local safety guidelines.
