Mario, I see a couple of critical differences between the recommended lightning arrestors (Transtector ALPU-ALVR and Polyphaser IX-ALVR) and the Altelicon unit to which you linked below.
First, the Altelicon unit, like the Transtector ALPU-TSU that it intends to be an alternative to, is designed to protect the Ethernet communication pairs and 48 VDC power. VL, however, operates at 54 VDC. The ALPU-ALVR is designed to support and this higher operating voltage. The ALPU-TSU supports a service voltage of 48 VDC. Also, the ALPU-ALVR protects the LED signal wire and Reset wire. Additionally, the ALPU-ALVR supports the use of shielded CAT-5, a requirement for VL. The unit below does not appear to have a connection for the cable shield drain wire.

Transtector and Polyphaser protectors are in the $100+ range. Has anyone tried this one? http://www.hyperlinktech.com/web/al-cat5w.php Thank in advance.
