Review on Tripp Lite DTEL2 in-Line Surge Protector Power Strip for Network and Phone Lines, 2-Line RJ11/RJ45 - Enhanced SEO by Brian Avila

I'm on my first day of installing a DTEL2 surge protector for my customer. I used it on the line between the incoming phone line and the plug of an AT&T Uverse router where you plug in the RJ11 plug. The textured media center was all plastic, so I had to ground it to the body of the nearest circuit breaker panel, being careful not to extend the extra ground wire any longer than necessary. I have a client in a 30 sqm. Homes with an unusually high rate of equipment failures, usually after hurricanes. A couple of times he was struck directly by lightning. Maybe this is the same building in Ghostbusters. In any case, I did my best and took every precaution possible, including a whole house surge protector. Despite these precautions, this man recently lost his smart home hub and computer during a thunderstorm. The only unprotected ways were internet and telephone. (Another neighbor had fiber in the building and had no problems). While researching I read in the comments that some DSL connections were affected when this filter was added and it doesn't seem to have happened in this case. I ran some speed tests after connecting and didn't see any difference. However, you must wire it in a specific way. Oddly enough, this isn't mentioned in the manual and the connections are inconspicuously labeled. Once connected, plug your device (modem/router in my case) into the slot labeled EQUIP. The EQUIP connector is on the same end as the green ground wire. As an extra precaution, I used a marker to mark the connections for those who might accidentally mix up the connections in the future when working on the panel. So far, so good.
