Review on Enhancing Network Security: Ubiquiti ETH-SP Ethernet Surge Protector by Rodney Mendoza

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Does not protect against lightning surges

We were told to buy four of these devices to protect the nano transmitter and receiver so the internet can reach our home via the public antenna. I told the IT guy that given what I know about lightning rods as a solar installer, I'm not entirely sure they will protect the electronics from surges. Fool, I listened to him instead of myself. The nano-transmitter lasted a few months and was killed not by a direct hit but by a lightning bolt from god knows where. Might work against surges in your office, but it's not much of a surge protector, and certainly not a lightning arrester.
