[23] Most Lightning devices only support USB 2.0, which has a maximum transfer speed of 480 Mbit/s or 60 MB/s. With USB 2.0, only one lane is in use at a time.

3. Lightning rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rod

   A lightning rod or lightning conductor (British English) is a metal rod mounted on a structure and intended to protect the structure from a lightning strike. If lightning hits the structure, it is most likely to strike the rod and be conducted to ground through a wire, rather than passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or ...

4. Electrical wiring - Wikipedia

   Cables usually are secured with special fittings where they enter electrical apparatus; this may be a simple screw clamp for jacketed cables in a dry location, or a polymer-gasketed cable connector that mechanically engages the armour of an armoured cable and provides a water-resistant connection.

5. Optical ground wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_ground_wire

   An OPGW cable contains a tubular structure with one or more optical fibers in it, surrounded by layers of steel and aluminum wire. The OPGW cable is run between the tops of high-voltage electricity pylons. The conductive part of the cable serves to bond adjacent towers to earth ground, and shields the high-voltage conductors from lightning ...
