Protect your valuable network hardware from the dangers of lightning strikes and power surges! A lightning protection adapter, looped into the antenna line, can prevent damage to your router, access point, or switch. Such protection is essential, especially when using outdoor antennas. A small investment that can save you a lot of trouble and money in an emergency.
A lightning protector only works correctly if it is properly grounded. This means it must be connected via a short, thick grounding cable to a potential equalization point (e.g., the main grounding bar of the building). Without this grounding, the lightning protection adapter is ineffective and offers only a false sense of security.
