This just a suggestion. Remove the surge protector for a while and attach to your wall connectors directly to see what happens. If you still have the problem it might be worth investing in some high quality cables to replace the ones in question. A pair of new cable don't cost that much and may solve the problem. The slightest defect in one of the connectors could be causing the problem and you may never be able to see the defect by eye. If your setup is like mine you have one set of cables to the protector and another pair to the modems. There is eight connectors and you only need one with intermittent connection.

Just don't get tx & rx cable mixed up when moving them around.

But I would NOT use it on a two way, unless you can pin Hughes down in writing that it's competent to deal with the amperages resident on the ITU coaxial cable. AND that they will accept full liability for any losses incurred as a result of it's failure to protect.

since that's not likely to happen, use the search engine and find those other coax surge suppressor threads.

I'd get rid of it. If it came to a choice of that Fiskars, and nothing - I'd choose nothing. Search the forum for coaxial surge suppression topics. It's been discussed at length lately

But I'm wondering if maybe the ground part of the wire that touches the inside of the end piece could have some kind of problem. Like maybe it's not touching all the time or something. Is that possible? If that was the case wouldn't I be losing signal strength as well?

There is a pitiful small number of coaxial surge suppressors that are capable of handling the relatively high amperage that transits the transmit cable. Which brand and model of surge suppressor are you using?

coaxial shorts trigger a circuit breaker type protection circuit inside the adapters. you'd know it if you had a coaxial short, cuz the adapters would instantaneously shut themselves down in self-defense mode.
