A cheap switch (5 port $25) on the frame end. Nothing on the AP end. If you want to feel warmer and fuzzier, try ITW Linx and it will cost you more than the cable https://www.google.com/search?q=itw+linx+cat5-poe-rj45&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=&oe=&rlz=1I7ADFA_en

Carl providing proper protection goes beyond "warmer and Fuzzier " a "cheap switch " wont cut it , Ive seen lighting go right through switch's and modems , Ive also seen it literally blow the ITW linx stuff off the wall .(the equipment was fine though ) so what if the protections "cost more than the cable " cable is usually the cheapest component on any install

My favorite, and the most expensive Cat-5e protector was the DL-1200 I installed 3 years ago. It took forever to get, was a PITA to install the end jacks, and it has (knock on wood) not failed in those 3 years. It was the intermediate point in an outbuilding and all the outdoor data cables ran to that building.

so what if the protections "cost more than the cable " cable is usually the cheapest component on any install Skip, having been in amateur radio for the greater part of my life, I can tell you that there is nothing that I know of that will take a direct hit from lightning. I knew an old (now Silent Key) ham that would dilligently remove his antenna cable from his T/R relay, and directly ground it. One night, a lightning bolt hit his antenna, and blew a hole in the wall where the cable went through. His rigs were tube, and were unscathed, but the (of all things) the mic was blown to bits. Lightning is strange and powerful stuff. Protect everything with the best protection one can get, but also have an insurance policy on your gear! Joe
