Just looking for the community's opinion on surge protecting ethernet. Specifically, I've got an APC Back-UPS 1500 that comes with an integrated ethernet surge protector - 2 ethernet ports on the back of it. In my case, i've got an outdoor run of ~250 feet from the main switch inside my house to an access point in an external building, and figured that wire might be good to have protected, in case of lightning strikes & such. Seems like a good case to use it on.
Thoughts?
