A customer has a building that is to be torn down in the future and they are going to install a 12 pair underground cable. What kind of lightning protection do you guys recommend on each end?

Ditto on the Tii brand. They are pretty much the standard for Verizon and most other large telcos and for a good reason. Their stuff is good.

I'd encourage them to run 25 pair minimum. The cable costs a tiny bit more, but the protection options that offer telco-grade standards start at the 25 pair count. Just make sure that any protection hardware meets BellCore (Telecordia) standards and you'll be fine.

"A customer has a building that is to be torn down in the future"

How large a building is replacing it? What will it be used for? How many people will work out of it?

I'm a pessimist I'd go 50 pair.

The new building will not be in the same spot. A 12 pair should be good. Thanks
