Review on 75 ohm DC-3 GHz Lightning Surge Protector F Female to F Female with 90 V Gas Tube Surge Arrester (Lightning Arrester F Female to Female) by Iration Mccall

Lightning upgrade: Use with separate cable modem for my wireless router via Ethernet surge protector. The next lightning strike knocked out my modem, as well as the filter at the cable junction, the cable company equipment, and several other modems in my area. The good news is that the modem isn't mine (ha ha ha) and my Wi-Fi router and many Ethernet-connected devices around the house remained intact. Whether it was a win or a loss is hard to say.

This is usually a small block on the side of your home that has a ground wire attached to it. If it's properly grounded, install a surge protector there. If you install it near a cable modem or other location and ground it, there is a risk of creating a ground loop due to the distance between ground potentials. Pigtail In fact, this is something like a belt and suspenders. You don't have to use it, but it reduces the chance that the bolt connection will have resistance to the ground block. If you need to install it near a modem or cable box, do not connect a pigtail as this will create a ground loop. Well, okay, you can say it, but then you also have to take an isolator.
