I would replace every surge product at a site that got hit to maximize 
protection.
Outlet strips, mains power isoblocks etc.

So you're saying replace everything at the site?ï¿½ Or just the adjacent 
units?ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ I Have 16 of the GIGE-POE-APC units at that site.ï¿½

  Here are Pics of some other GIGE-POE-APC units from the site that took the 
strike.ï¿½ These both were in an APC chassis with other units that were not 
affected.ï¿½ (the unit next to the left unit did have some residual scorch 
marks, but is still working).ï¿½ 

  The 48V power supply is still good, and the Airfiber is good. However, it did 
blow out the 48V DC-DC Converter (In place to fix voltage drop over the long 
cat5 run).ï¿½ The Unit on the left still had the Green LED on, but was not 
putting out any voltage on the Cat5.

      Thanks Nate,
      I really should archive these stories.ï¿½ I always say that every time 
and I never do.ï¿½ Wish I had saved all the photos over the years of this type

      I had a decommissioned and powered off LMG OMNI on a pole that also has
      an EPMP mounted to it.ï¿½ Lightening took out the Omni, as in bits of
      fiberglass were found around left over from the antenna.ï¿½ The EPMP
      sector 5' down the pole didn't even reboot.ï¿½ The EPMP along with all
      Backhauls at the site are powered with GIGE-POE-APC units. I didn't even
      know there was a strike until the people there told me about finding the
      bits of antenna around.ï¿½ I'm guessing the suppressors saved the rest of
      the equipment.
