Best surge protection for coax, phone + power?

    Hi all, anyone know what sort of surge protector can do all 3? Are the APC backUPS' (CS350, 500) surge protection any good? (seperate coax sp req'd)

    Alternatively, what are the best individual ones?

    Given the increasing chances of more lightning like we had recently, I don't want to chance it any more!

    And where are the most decent places to get such a thing/things.

    TIA

    PS, for a single PC.

    It is what it's.

    I've got a trust energy protector UPS/surge protector on my main machine and the server here @ work, Its cheap and not too sophisticated but it does the job
    should cost you €75 - 80
    I've had the power crap out a few times (took some of my client machine HDDs out :mad: ) but the UPS just sat there and beeped at me, and both machines stayed up It gives you about 20 mins to sort out the power or shut down your machine, it has an RJ11 (standard phone) surge protection feature too.
    good if you're using a generator to power a machine in a caravan too, or if the people upstairs turn on the kettle, electric shower and tumble dryer at the same time ;)


    edit: whoops sorry i didn't read your post properly, no coax protection on this.
