Hmm... aside from the benefits of having a surge suppressor, that actually seems like a good idea for anything that has a DC plug (without screw terminals). Just stick one of these http://www.mccowntech.com/800-dcss-ss-outdoor-dc-power-line-surge-suppressor-protector/ and the problem of needing to run a new cable up when you change to new gear is solved.
