I did not realize it was incoming via a fan. Protection from that is a well earthed Ben Franklin lightning rod or air terminal (not to be confused with Early Streamer Emission or ESE devices).
Meanwhile, what appear as 'piggy backed' or 'daisy chained' really are devices that connected as if just another appliance connected directly to AC mains. Don't let them confuse you. The device gets same protection whether it is plugged into the power strip OR shares same AC wall receptacle. They hope you will 'feel' the protector is between receptacle and device. Electrically, protector only connects to wall receptacle as if it was just another device that power strip. Electricity arrives at both device and protector circuit simultaneously - since both are connected in parallel (not in series) to AC mains.
