Cable Modem BNC Surge protector -- what to get? avoid?

Hello all,

I'm looking for advice on what to get, and avoid, when buying a "surge protector" for the coax-cable that goes to my broadband modem.

Every path to my equipment is protected by surge-surpressors and/or filters. Even the Ethernet out on my cable modem is routed through a RJ-45 surpressor.

Why would I bother? Because I'm no longer leasing a modem from good ole AT&T. Even though the modem was under $100, if a surge were to take it out, the down-time would be expensive.


With cable-broadband, I'm not sure what to get.....that is, what to avoid!! 😀


Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated!

Thanks
