[MVMA] Surge Protection/Lightning Arrestors

[Kevin K Kampman]

When I installed mine, I used CAT5/ethernet surge suppressor,which I got 
from Amazon:


  Ethernet Surge Protector Gigabit High PoE++ Class 8 (154W/3.2A) TP302

Works fine with my weather station and my dish. Still need to get my 
dish higher, but it is operational. This is what they look like inline, 
out of the cabinet. I used a waterproofing agent in the connectors. I 
think it is called "Stuff".
