I've been using the ITW Linx Surgate Cat-6 PoE to protect outdoor APs. I install them inside the building at the point of entry much like you would primary protection on a phone cable. I've been using their products to protect exposed data drops since the early 2000's without issue. Look out for installers neglecting to ground them though. I inspect every one of these after installation because it's been done wrong so many times. Without a good ground they're nearly useless.

Today we had a lightning strike and we lost 5 cameras connected to a POE switch. At the time we figured it was a power outage but upon logging into the switch it looks like it rebooted and it didn’t past POST for POE. A minute later the switch went dead again. After replacing the switch only 3 cameras came back online. If only I had one of these at that pole! I’ve never had this happen before.
