28. GDT Applications

Question.8

Tony is selecting surge protection for a high-speed DSL telecom line (data rate up to 17 MHz).
Two options are available:
●    Option A: Littelfuse CG90L GDT — 90V, 20 kA
●    Option B: Standard disc MOV — 90V, 10 kA
Both have similar voltage ratings and enough surge capability. However GDT is always selected-Why?
