Verified Purchase:Yes
Used for a computer and attached peripherals. Purchased for it's protection, number of outlets, and ability to protect network and cable equipment. Con: Had a VERY difficult time inserting some plugs into the narrowly spaced outlets.
I was a touch skeptical but ordered it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised that it accommodated all of my equipment... My router, DirecTV VCR components and TV and the rest. The Price is Right and it is a value. I had just lost a brand new 50 inch television a month before purchasing yet due to an electrical storm and a much cheaper and obviously ineffective type similar unit but not Tripp Lite
I live in an area prone to lightning strikes and I've lost many electronics prior to the purchase of this new surge protector. So far, we've had many storms and all of my electronic devices are fine.
I am an Electronic Engineer. I have worked for Bell Labs, Analog Devices, and have consulted for clients as to recommend WHAT they should purchase. Every sale I made, on anything that "plugs in", was contingent upon a suitable TRIP LITE PRODUCT FOR THE CUSTOMERS CONTINUED PROTECTION. They did NOT have to buy it from me, BUT THE CLIENT HAD TO HAVE THE RECOMMENDED PRODUCT. OTHERWISE, I WOULD NOT PROCEED UNLESS/UNTIL THEY purchased a SUITABLE TRIPP LITE PRODUCT TO ROTECT THEIR INVESTMENT. WHETHER IT WAS A SURGE PROTECTOR (I RELIED ON THE ISO- BAR LINE) OR A UPS, OR A POWER CONDITIONER, They HAD TO HAVE PROTECTION. ADDITIONALLY, we did an AC "power audit" for a minimum of 168 Hours (Min) , and recorded, and analyzed results to make the most cost effective recommendation, for all of our clients. This unit I just got, is for my TV, and bedroom electronic devices. I like this, but am still attracted to the I BAR LINE. For this reason, I will use THIS UNIT in the kids room, and get the ISOBAR 10 A/V/DATA UNIT (Can't remember MN!) FOR MY ROOM. I feel THAT STRONGLY ABOUT THEIR PRODUCTS. THEY ARE THAT GOOD. HAVE NEVER LET ME DOWN AND THEY ARE BUILT LIKE A BATTLE SHIP! IF you have ever seen a photo from an oscilloscope on an AC LINE, (FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS), then you know I speak the truth. It's TRIPP LITE OR "YOU BETTER CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY" TO REPLACE EVERYTHING! I WONT PLUG ANYTHING IN, UNLESS IT IS PROTECTED BY TRIPP LITE.
