The surge protection feature prevents surges that travel over a coaxial cable from damaging your equipment. Connect the coaxial cable from the satellite, cable, or antenna system to the connector marked IN, connect another coaxial cable from the connector marked OUT to the device being protected (satellite, cable, or antenna).
