If you really, really can't then APC make a single port transient arrestor p/n PNET1GB. I've used these in the past for a PoE phone in a wooden gatehouse hut right on the 100M max length with no power for active kit and they seem to work fine. I'm using one at the moment for a PoE access point in my garden shed. Not sure I would bring an inter building link in copper onto an expensive core switch though. Don't know of anything in higher density than "one port". -- Rob Pickering, r...@pickering.org
