5.0 out of 5 starsReal Gigabit Speed to Fix Faulty AT&T Installations
June 30, 2016
I just had AT&T Gigapower service installed. After 2 weeks, a storm hit my area, and the AT&T router was fried. Along with it also knocked out 2 of my managed 24 port Gigabit switches connected to the router. AT&T came over and replaced the router, but refused to accept responsibility for the damages to my network equipment. I looked at the crappy job AT&T did, and found out that they DID NOT ground the cable coming into the house. They also DID NOT even have a 3 prong power supply on their ONT device in my garage. The repair guy told me that they go out and replace the damaged routers after every storm, because of the cheap installation equipment. I am still having a dispute with AT&T over their poor installation ability.
In the main time, I do not want another storm to knock out my network again, so I need a good surge protector for this "unprotected" network.
I tried many RJ45 type of network surge protectors. Most of them are only rated for CAT5 connections, and would not be able to connect anything above 100Mbit network. I saw this product, and decided to give it a try.
Other cheap pass through devices would not even register the connection properly. This neat little gadget was able to register gigabit connection right away! I made a grounding wire out of an old computer power cord, and plugged into a 5000j surge protector.
I tested network speed at speedtest website. Upload speed at 915-950 Mbit, and download speed at about the same range.
For reliable gigabit ethernet surge protection, this is the real deal. It is unfortunate that consumer has to go out of the way to fix the inadequate installation of a big network giant like AT&T. I feel sorry for average user who are not electronically inclined, and had to deal with the consequences of a bucks of cost cutting.
If you have "unprotected" installation from AT&T, you should get this and avoid hundreds of hours of frustration going through their support and claim process. That is a story for another time...
See attached photos of before and after my installation to fix what AT&T refused to address.
Have a question? Just ask me, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge.

2.0 out of 5 starsNOT SO Great lightning protector
June 6, 2016
Update: Did not saved a $700 board this weekend.

Product has a design flaw in the copper weight / trace size that carries the signal from the connector pins to the gas tube. Lost that $700 board now because the traces on the printed wire board opened up, and allowed the surge to pass through. See photos.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood quality, but no installation instructions
August 4, 2019
Size: Two Lines/CablesVerified Purchase
The unit appears to be well made and I was able to install it without issue. It looks nice, is sturdy, and I hope I don’t have to have it tested by a lightning strike! But, I believe it will work based on how the unit is constructed and how I’ve installed it. This item is significantly less expensive then other professional units that electricians typically use.

Why I can’t give 5 stars:
There are no installation instructions that ship with the item, so make sure to watch the video here on Amazon and read the comments and question/answers section. The description of the unit also does not say the gauge of ground wire you need, but I was able to find out asking a question here on Amazon. It’s gauge #10 if you are interested to know, and I purchased the ground wire here on Amazon as well as a separate item.

4.0 out of 5 starsNot Working
August 8, 2016
Size: Single Line/CableVerified Purchase
The one I received is either defective or does not function as described. I cannot return the item because I failed to keep the original packang (clearly my mistake) but some of the time it will not even register a signal between two NIC destinations (green LAN lights at the termination points) or when it does it only shows 100Mb not Gigabit (orange instead of green). I know that it isnt the cabling as the problem because i use it on both my server and HTPC and both transfer with the same cables at gigabit and show green instead of orange. when it was working (it isnt now), it was limiting my bandwidth well below gigabit for internal lan to lan file xfers. my situation may only be isolated to a bad unit but regardless i would not recommend this product.

Edit: This retailer just issued me a refund because he believed I may have received an unusually faulty item. I respect that and will now change my rating. Thanks for being an honest seller.

Of course I won't know until it is needed! But, when you open it up and examine the board and components you can tell it is well built. Do properly ground the unit with a short ground.

I used this to protect network from another building maintained 1000Mbs conductivity between switches. I hope I will never find out if it really works or not. Seems well built metal RJ45 connectors and sturdy plastic box with weather sealing although mine is indoors.

Easy to install. Wish I could tell you it works, but that will have to wait for the next lightning strike!

Linked at gigabit speeds without issues. The case is sturdy plastic and seems pretty weather proof. Unfortunately, I can't test how well it copes with lightning yet.

This unit does not restrict any traffic flow. The only downside is that you have to crimp in your own grounding line.
