Hey there! For surge protection on your Ethernet cable, a network switch like the NETGEAR GS305 doesn’t protect the CAT cable directly. The best options are using a surge protector at the power outlet or adding a dedicated surge device for the Ethernet port. Let me know if you need more details!

Only consider it if your Ethernet connection extends outdoors. Otherwise, it's largely unnecessary.
