Recommendations

Throughout the book there are references to the Market Place (Appendix C) which identifies several frequently used products whose source is unlikely to change over the next decade.  The more dynamic products such as protectors, which seem to undergo continuous change, are identified here.  I have chosen these manufacturers, and their specific products based on the criteria as presented in Chapter 4, Protectors, as being capable of protecting your equipment during a lightning strike event.  Most, if not all, of the non-listed surge protectors are not capable of doing that job.

Each individually recommended item has been reviewed with the manufacturer to determine the item’s capability and suitability for incorporation into your protection scheme.  My goal is to perform this review every year and update this site with that information. 

Currently what you will see is a draft list of the recommended products – it has not yet been completely verified by the respective manufacturer.  This could take a while to be complete for all manufacturers.

The recommended product links are categorized as follows:

Coaxial Protectors

Ladder Line Protectors

AC Power Protectors

  • TBD

Twisted Pair Protectors

  • TBD

Ethernet Protectors

  • TBD
