Review on Tripp Lite DTEL2 in-Line Surge Protector Power Strip for Network and Phone Lines, 2-Line RJ11/RJ45 - Enhanced SEO by Joe Michels

Why did I buy this product? My modem, router, and computer power supply all died around the same time. Lightning is rare in my area, but I suspect random power outages, some just before equipment failures and during the life of these components, were the culprits. To protect my gear, I first bought a UPS box. However, I have found that my devices are still vulnerable to surges from the DSL line. DTEL2 protects my modem, router, and computer from surges that can get in "the back door," as they call it. The product only comes with an RJ-45 specification, so I checked the Tripp Lite website to see if both are supported. After I connected the device to the DTEL2 and switched on the power, my internet connection was established without any problems. How well it protects my hardware. I just have to keep my fingers crossed that it works when the time comes. How I Installed DTEL2: Once you know how to do it, installing this product is fairly easy, but a simple diagram to supplement the written instructions would make it much clearer. The installation is different when you connect it to other devices. Pros: - Supports DSL lines with RJ-11 - Also supports RJ-45 - Everything worked without problems after I installed DTEL2 - The price is reasonable, especially considering how many devices it protects. CONS: - Diagram would be useful for non-engineers. A NOTICE. It took me a while to figure out what I needed to protect my system from surges and how the components fit together. I'm not an expert in this field, but hopefully this review can help someone in a similar situation. - Please confirm with the manufacturer that this product is compatible with your system.
