Okay, I know this isn't arcade related, but someone on here knows the answer - any links/pointers [digikey, etc] are appreciated.
I have had my 2nd lightning strike destroy a serial/rs232 device in my house. I was looking at something like this:
http://www.usconverters.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=187
Can anyone point me to the "fuses" or "optical diodes" or whatever is used in these? At $34, they're only slightly cheaper than the device itself.
I was hoping to just wire up my own on RX/TX/Ground lines.
