VIP622 and Surge Protectors

[vegassatellite]

Proper surge protection requires that you build a "shell" around your components by making sure every outside source runs through your surge protector. Leaving any open paths such as a coax totally defeats the purpose of protecting that equipment. It doesn't do you any good to have $100s of dollars worth of surge protection, UPS equipment, etc., if you are going to leave a path open for a surge.

HNP6-x-t-s is only in a 6 outlet configuration. You can add power bars to it and they will be protected since the power is being fed through the protected device.

OK, understand. I need to re-think the coax connection. Thanks
