    I did a search on outdoor lightning protection and saw that most of you recommend a bridge to split the indoor and outdoor runs. I was thinking about something more robust than a bridge.

    Has anyone tried the Dehnrail 60 2-pole protector? I also looked at their CAT6 protection but that cannot handle more than 200mA. I am unsure about the internals which might include some sort of filter which could affect the performance.

    Nothing but a bridge will help if the lighting hits the cbus cable (i.e. via the c-bus cable being exposed outside. Filtering on the power side is always recommended, but not helpful if it's the external c-bus cable that the lighitng is entering your cbus network by.
