Review on 🌩️ Tupavco TP303 Ethernet Surge Protector Outdoor - Gigabit 1000Mbs LAN Network Thunder Lightning Surge Protection Suppressor/Arrester for PoE+ by Juan Wilson

Update 02 August 2018: Works as described! TL:DR - I've had this block for 1 1/2 years now. A few weeks ago we had 5 days of continuous heavy thunderstorms. I'm not just talking about heavy rains, I mean heavy lightning every day for 5 days. It was terrible. These storms have caused many fires in our area. So how did they survive? I have four built-in Tupavco safeguards that start outside my home to protect all downstream network connections before they get into my main house and eventually into my main network. Cabinet. The first and second tupavkos are on my guest house, about 5 meters from the first defender. It's on the line for the ethernet going into the guest house and a secondary protection for the main ethernet network that extends to my workshop, barn and gym before returning to the main network closet. The third and fourth Tupavcos are on the bottom of my grain elevator and protect my network from a 33ft IP weather camera on my grain elevator and protects the overhead ethernet cable to my gym as well as my network from the switch. it's in the gym. Do you remember that flash? At one point, lightning struck my fields adjacent to my bunker (and possibly the bunker itself) so hard that the UNPROTECTED ends of my network at the gym's switchboard and the camera itself blew out. How fried. The power button smelled like burnt silicone, as did the camera. These two devices were UNPROTECTED and I had no Tupavco protection on those ends. The tupavcos at the bottom of the granary grounded any electrical current going to my switch and camera and protected the power grid from transient voltages. WORKS AS ADVERTISING! I lost about $100 on electronics (switch and IP camera) but protected over $2,000 on basic network equipment (switches, servers, routers, access points, etc.). I swapped out my IP camera and network switch at the gym and bought two more of them. Tupavco protectors to protect my new sports switch and my new IP camera. First Review: Well, that's hard to second-guess because I don't know how well made it is until lightning strikes or some other surge. Apart from the actual functionality: the device is gray rather than beige in the picture. I think gray looks better. The device is housed in a sturdy plastic case (not flimsy, cheap plastic). There is a moisture-resistant cable entry point on the underside (which is also meant to protect against insects). I have another communication project. I'm working and will be buying two more soon.
