Is it a good idea to use the coax surge protection with Directv?

I have a Monster power center that has two sets of coax surge protection. One is labeled sat and the other cable. I understand that you don’t want to use the cable connection due to the possibility of signal loss. Any answers would be much appreciated.

Thanx

DO NOT plug any part of your satellite system to a monster power center PERIOD !
