I've built a small office for myself with outlets all over the room. They are all on one circuit I'd like to protect them all with a single surge protector.

I imagine their should be some product similar to a GFI outlet that would protect itself and everything past it on the circuit. I could mount it next to my panel and run the wiring straight to it before continuing on to my office. But I can't find such a device.

The two closest things I've found are a whole home surge protector which seems like overkill. And this outlet from Leviton which is a surge protector, but only for itself. It won't protect anything else on the circuit.

I could obviously use a power bar with a built in surge protector but part of the idea of having a bunch of outlets around the room was to remove the need for a power bar and keep everything cleaner.

Does anyone know if what I'm imagining actually exists?

Easy to install too, if you’re comfortable working in a fusebox

My family and friends are all shocked by my skills as an electrician.

They were not dying to find out, I hope?
