An apparatus and method for protecting hardware devices using a spiral inductor. The surge suppressor protects hardware devices from electrical surges by isolating the radio frequency from an inner conductor. The surge suppressor includes a housing (220), an inner conductor (215), a surge blocking device (250), and a spiral inductor (230). The surge blocking device (250) is inserted in series with the hardware devices for blocking the flow of electrical energy therethrough. Th e spiral inductor (230) is coupled to the surge blocking device (250) and is shunted to ground for discharging the electrical surge.
