I already have a surge arrestor for my distribution box. Will that also help against ethernet surge issues?

Problem is the grounding of the ethernet surge protector is not that easy and I do worry wat could happen if the grounding socket gets loose and lightning occurs. There is alot of airflow in that room after all.

I cant seem to find an ethernet surge protector in a powerstrip or plug for 220volts. I would prefer that over a ethernet surge that has to connect to a ground connection


Hmm I also read that ethernet surge protectors tend to mess up bandwith network packets. That isnt good as I need it smooth. Is there such a thing as a netwotk switch with stronger built in ethernet surge protection than usual?
