They work ok to protect against static buildup and nearby strikes, but
they can't be trusted to isolate your system from a direct hit. I have
a couple of these units in my 'blooper box' (failed parts bin). One is
blown in half and the other is melted.



And the equipment connected? did it survive?



Nope.


I suffered a direct hit that
made my Imax look like flaked rice all over the back yard, gear was up and
running and suffered no loss.



You were very, very lucky.
