GR-1089 does allow a get-out for intra-building surges for STP if grounded at both ends of the STP cable. Some customers still insist that intra-building Surges are applied to the conductors regardless of the cable type, STP or UTP. [We 'design in' Intra-building surge protection (as a mimimum) for all our interfaces, ENET, T1, RS232 etc]
