Consider Tranzobs (trade-name) between the signal lines and a good solid ground (pcb or metalwork). They are exceptionally fast acting avalanche diode transient suppressors. If you do, keep interconnections as short as possible to minimise path inductance. http://www.vishay.com/diodes/protection-tvs-esd/trans-zorb/ I suppose I should say I am in no way endorsing Vishay Transzorbs… But I’m not going to because they’re bloomin’ excellent! (And no, I don't have any connection or interest in Vishay whatsoever.) T

The communication signals on the cable are rather slow, below 1MHz. We are planning to make a burst filter and we have ground / chassis pins close by. Any recommendations for good burst suppression components? B.r.
