It just occurred to me, I have no lightning protection for my phone line which leaves me open to equipment damage should lightning hit, as it would hit the modem then possibly the whole ethernet network. It does not pass anywhere near a UPS or power bar that has phone line protection capability. Can I just get a surge bar near the demark and pass it through there? Does the surge bar have to be plugged in even if I don't need it for power? (I'm guessing yes, because of the ground) Or is there a better solution, given I'm only looking to protect the line?
