Yet to be properly tested. Fine with VDSL line

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 December 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm using this on a VDSL line after a summer lightning strike on a nearby tree fried my router (and a few others on the street). As expected the sync speed has dropped from 30Mbit/s to 28Mbits downstream and 5.8 to 5.5 upstream and curiously the standard phone now rings continuously on a incoming call - the DECT phone is quite happy with whatever effect is happening.
Given that I never sustain maximum data transfer rates this is not an issue, especially if it means the next time we have a storm I don't end up having to spend £200 on another Vigor - thankfully in the six months since I've had it we've not had a real live "what the eff was that" situation.

Hopefully I'll never notice it working.

This simple to use device offers a good level of protection against the potential damage caused by induced currents on ethernet cables. They just plug in-line with your existing ethernet cables, and have a 30cm bonding cable that has to be linked to a good Earth point.

After extending my home network 30metres to an out building, using a roof-roof Cat6 cable, I started to think about the impact of lightning induced currents passing up and down the cable into my router and switches. I wanted something that could be easily installed into the existing set up and a search came up with these. APC have lots of industry qualified products suitable for a large range of equipments and scenarios, all aimed at surge current and over-voltage protection. So they appear well spec'd. Following the instructions I put one at each end of my exposed link cable adjacent to the Netgear switches; as an earth bonding point I used a mains inlet earth. I chose this approach rather than running a dedicated bonding cable back to the consumer units in the two buildings as it would have been a bit of a routing challenge. Can I tell if they are working? no, but then I've not noticed any impact on my 1Gb inter-building speed. They are cleared to 1000BaseT the Amazon description is incorrect. Hopefully I'll never notice them working when the next lightning storm passes by.

Peace of mind

[Bought from Kikatek] - I wanted to protect my home network from lighting strikes, I live on a high hill, and thunder storms can be pretty intense when they roll in. I already use a surge protector for the phone line (protects my modem/ router), but I wanted a second line of defence after the router.

The ProtectNet is fitted inline. It comes with a very short (CAT5e?) cable to hook it up to my router, and the other end to my existing network (CAT6 to a gigabit switch with everything wired attached).

I wanted to use the ground wire, but didn't have a place to attach it to (I have electric heating, so no convenient grounded central heating pipes at hand). In the end I cut the crimped connector off the ground, and wired it into the earth of a normal 3 pin UK plug, and plugged that into the surge suppressor. (I'm not sure if you are supposed to do this, I googled - but found nothing, but it seems like common sense. Perhaps an electrician will leave a comment?).

My home has *not* been struck by lighting since installing, so I cannot vouch for its effectiveness, and even if it is struck; I reckon the surge suppressor would beat it to the punch.

I imagine the chance of both suppressors failing at the same time, with one lighting strike, is far less likely than a single suppressor failing. Double protection (fingers crossed!).

Great bit of kit and easy to install. Having lost over 200GBP's worth of kit to lightning this is well worth it, so far it has protected my network with no problems
