Anyone recommend at product for this??

We had a MAJOR lightning strike to a fiber line that knocked out $25,000 in equipment.

I am looking for a surge protection product that can be used at the fiber connection or one that can be installed at each PC.
(each PC has 2 cat-5 connections)

thanks

Run a search on google to see whats out there. Personally, I would ask one of your telephone company's installation techs what they would use.

I guess this would'nt be a bad time to mention that you should have all equipment racks bonded to ground with a least a #6 conductor :D
