Review on Tripp Lite 120V Surge Protector Power Strip, 6 Outlets, 8ft Cord, 990 Joules, Gray, with Flat Plug by Alex May

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very sensitive switch - bad for computers

The switch is very sensitive. Even the slightest pressure and feeding is disrupted. It might be a brief hiatus, but I chose this strip because it had the right length of power cord for my computer. If you don't install it where it can't be touched by another wire or something, you'll need to make a cover. So temporary power outages. To the calculator. . . Not good. I had to do a cover. Mine is a bit quirky, but some embellishments and tape will get you there. Just factor in some buying time and a roll of duct tape as part of the price of this expansion. Unfortunately, Belkin devices with recessed switches didn't have the correct cord length.

Pros
  • SECURITY UP! RATED 990 JULES - UL 1449 SAFETY COMPLIANT: Auto shut-off shuts off power to all outlets if protection circuitry is violated. The green LED immediately shows the status of the protection. Filters out destructive EMI/RFI conduction noise that can cause device damage or data loss. Complies with current UL 1449 3rd Edition safety standards.
Cons
  • Weight
