Belkin Surge Protector Lightning Strike

We had a lightning strike at our office and the surge travelled through the internet lines (ethernet in our office) which fried our old Dream Machine. This purchase was a replacement as I could not go any other direction. This Dream Machine provides firewall protection and ease of access from multi-office servers. I highly recommend Ubiquiti's Dream Machine for your small-office needs!

The surge protector stopped a surge from a lighting strike from damaging my dehumidifier in the basement. I am pleased with it.

Our neighbor’s home suffered two massive lightening strikes three years apart. The first strike did $6000 worth of damage to his new SUV. The second strike totaled his brand new Cadillac as well as partially damaging our vehicle and knocking out our garage door opener and a number of low voltage items in our home. The culprit: his permanently mounted basketball pole and backboard which he refused to have removed. Since that second strike all sensitive electronics in my home are connected to an appropriate surge protector. I purchased this surge protector as a second back up unit for a rack of recording components in my home studio. It’s not worth the risk to leave your gear unprotected. Cheap insurance!

I used this in conjunction with a small belkin surge protector and didn't have any issues in Argentina.

Needless to say, lightning does take out cable modems even on a surge protector. Mine would not work after being fried so I bought the same brand only to have the model not in working order when it arrived. I saw that I already had a NETGEAR router so decided to make it a pair with the cable modem. Have had no problems since installation. Only wish that the owners manual would be included in the box.

I have only had this surge protector but about 1 month and so far it has been a good one have not had no lightning storms are bad power surges yet to see if it will do its job.
