Surge protector has phone sockets for in and out, but i'm not sure how I connect phone and modem to it. Do I need separate cables?

if the surge protector has modem jacks simply plug from the wall to the surge protector.
The other jack on the surge protector will go to the modem in your computer ( not network card the bigger jack !!!)
on your modem will be a phone jack
It will have a picture of a phone on it
( there will only be two jacks on the modem for the computer)
plug your phone into that as an extension phone

Unplug the phone line from your modem and plug it into the "in" jack on the surge protector. Get another piece of phone line and run it from the "out" jack of the protector to your modem.

you will need a phone extention lead to connect from your surge protector to your phone socket, then connect as usual use a splitter/filter for broadband or 2 to 1 adaptor for dialup.in for phone modem out for wall socket.

hi, you connect it in between the wall and the computer
phone jack on the wall -----> surge protector ---->>> pc modem
(you will need another phone cable )
if you use DSL, then:
phone jack ----> surge protector --->dsl modem --> pc
same with power
ac power from wall ---> surge protector ---> pc\dsl modem\monitor\speaker adapter\ anything that uses ac power for the pc

you do no longer prefer a surge protector for a telephone jack. Surge protectors guard electric home equipment from lightning sureges. you do no longer could rigidity approximately telephone lines getting zapped via lightning. Plug it right now into the telephone jack. reliable success!
