Quality Surge Protector with a Mounting Flaw
on August 25, 2025

from Tysons, VA
A quality Belkin product, despite an astonishing design flaw by such a mature company. The slotted keyholes on the back of the unit are upside down. Hanging the unit upside down puts the power cord at the bottom and the wire guides at the top. So, I mounted it right side up (power cord at TOP), by sliding it UP on my mounting screws (so they lock in) and then screwing a small, thin block of wood to the wall, at the lower end of the unit, to hold it up in that vertical position. Cable guide is now at the bottom, where it actually helps with wires!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi, StevenM007,
Thank you for your feedback. Should you need help with any of your Belkin devices, just send us an email at BelkinCares@belkin.com or call our support hotline which can be found here: https://www.belkin.com/support-article/?articleNum=55022.
Ethernet ports are wired for 10Base-T, which makes them utterly useless for modern networking equipment. Attached equipment warranty is void if you don't have everything connected through the surge protector, rendering the entire thing worthless.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi bob30! We truly value your input and appreciate that you have shared your feedback with us. Your feedback is much appreciated. And apologies if this is not the outcome you were hoping for. If you’re open to discussing this further, please call or message us at any of our support platforms.
Two very annoying design flaws: 1) The unit appears designed to be mounted vertically, with the supply power cord and on/off switch at the top and the coax jacks at the bottom. However, if you orient it this way, the keyhole slots on the back for mounting are upside down, meaning that the larger, opening part of those slots are at the top. 2) The labels for the which are the inputs vs. outputs for the phone and coax jacks are totally covered up by the plastic cable bundling arms at the (supposedly) bottom of the unit. You have to bend them up - to almost the point of breaking - to be able to read which are inputs vs. outputs. I can't yet comment on how well the unit protects against surges - and hope I never have to.

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback regarding the Belkin BE112234-10. We sincerely appreciate your observations about the design and understand how these aspects may affect your user experience:
Orientation of the Keyhole Slots: Your point about the vertical mounting orientation and the position of the keyhole slots is well taken. We’ll share this with our product development team for consideration in future design updates.
Labels for Inputs and Outputs: We understand how the placement of the cable bundling arms could make reading the input/output labels more challenging. We’ll review this aspect to identify opportunities for improvement.
Your feedback is invaluable in helping us enhance our products and address customer concerns. While we hope the unit performs its intended purpose without requiring its surge protection capabilities, we’re here to assist if you have any further questions or concerns.
Feel free to reach out to our phone support team using the hotline numbers provided here if you need further assistance: https://www.belkin.com/support-article?articleNum=55022.
The online specs list a clamping voltage of 330 volts, which is excellent.
The surge protector I received had an actual clamping voltage of 400 volts, not 330 volts, and the box it came in listed the clamping voltage as 500 volts. I returned this surge protector and purchased a different brand that has an actual clamping voltage of 330 volts.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi BelkinTim,

If you still have the item and packaging with you, we’d like to have this further checked. Please reach out to us through email at BelkinCares@belkin.com along with your contact details and the link to this post for our reference.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally a surge protector that isn't big and bulky. The slim design allows it to be easily hidden behind furniture. Multiple use protector ideal for my home office. Eliminate extra plugs with this all in one protector. The slim right angle plug allows for use of the additional socket. Printer plug fits perfectly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This surge protector is great for a home office. I'm currently a remote worker, and this is all that I need to get my office running. And on the plus side, it has a sleek design, which doesn't require much space at all. I also love the fact that it has a cable management clip to help keep things organized. I almost forgot to mention that it has 12 outlets. That itself is a great big plus as well. It's definitely user friendly.
