Question:

Where can I find a Surge Protector with 2 Cat5 outputs?

I've only been able to find Surge Protectors with only 1 Cat5 output. We have ATTs Uverse and we need it to connect our Xbox 360 to the connection AND provide adequate protection. Please don't suggest we just buy a WiFi Adapter for the 360.

Thanks

  1. its expensive but check here

    or you just can buy 2 surge protectors so each one have one ethernet, its more cheaper that way.


  2. I wonder why with a proper surge protector at the modem source will not fix the problem. The only reason to protect a cat 5 cable is from near lightning strikes and you should already have this in place before the modem ( the modem should also be protected against transients but you should have a strip already) . As long as your house wiring is properly grounded you will not have issue. Just make sure the filter at the modem is adequate.

    I think you are already ok, but if you elaborate on exactly what you have set up it may allow for less confusion.
