Yes, there is one at both ends of every ethernet link.
Many people don't realize that ethernet itself is fully isolated end
to end. There are signal transformers on both ends.
It's this property which allows poe on the data lines to work as they
inject power on the center tap of the line side of the magnetics. Of
course the poe part isn't isolated unless power isolation is added as
well.

Is there an equivalent to the cable TV ground blocks but for Cat5?
I would basically look like a coupler with a ground wire attached
to the
shield. Much more basic than a surge suppressor.
