    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Concerned with the lightning protection of telecommunication lines in fibre optic installations. Limits the number of possible primary failures that occur in the optical fibre cable in a specific installation to within values not exceeding the limit value, defined as the tolerable frequency of primary failures.
