Solidly constructed. Hope I never have to see it in action but I'm confident that it will protect my electronics. Only negative is that the coaxial inputs/outputs loosen easily.

I purchased this item 7 years ago. The product saved my electronic devices from being destroyed. I called the company and I had a new one within one week to replace it free of charge. The lifetime warranty was a life savior.

This product seems to be made very well. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that I won't really know if it works until there's an incident.

Industrial strength protection for a home theater and more

Fortunately, I have not been the victim of a power surge, so this review is based on overall design and usability of the product. I will say that Tripp-Lite's warranty and connected equipment policy are the best in the industry and their customer service is perhaps the best in the industry. In terms of overall design, I continue to be impressed by the thought that went into the HT10DBS. Not only are there widely-spaced outlets for use with transformers, but half the regular outlets face inward and half face outward, in contrast to competing brands, where they all face one direction or the other. This can make a significant difference in devices with large, polarized plugs that only fit one way. Protection is provided for phone lines, ethernet networks and for three coax sources, although I seriously doubt many would have the need to connect cable, satellite and an antenna at the same time. The one and only shortcoming as I see it is the lack of multiple RJ-45 (ethernet) connectors. Also, I cannot find any specs anywhere as to whether these are CAT5 or CAT6 - a critical difference when it comes to speed. The reason this is a shortcoming is that it only provides for protection of one side of ones router - either the WAN port or a single LAN port. Let me explain - the majority of the time, this would not be an issue. Most surge damage is caused by a power spike entering through the power line, with a smaller percentage entering over the phone line or via one's cable or broadband provider. A significant percentage of the time, however, surge damage is caused by a nearby lightening strike creating a surge in an antenna. This need not be a direct strike. For obvious reasons, particular care must therefore be taken to isolate an outdoor antenna, or even an indoor antenna. However routers contain a WiFi antenna that is potentially vulnerable to a nearby lightening strike. No surge protector can protect the router itself from this sort of damage, but surge protection on the LAN side of the router could help prevent the damage from spreading across one's LAN to their other equipment. Granted, a lightening strike close enough to fry a router could potentially induce a damaging surge in the wiring of the rest of one's equipment, but why did Tripp-Lite leave open such an obvious vulnerability? Other than that, this is the best-designed surge protector I've ever owned, and I've owned ones from many different manufacturers. I bought three HT10DBS protectors - one for my home theater setup, one for my computer workstation and one for the spot where I typically plug in my laptop. I've read horror stories of people with multiple brands of surge protectors being left high and dry as the different manufacturers point fingers at each other over who is responsible for damage. Therefore, I have made sure to protect all equipment on my home network with an HT10DBS.

High quality product with excellent features

As advertised, and more - This product not only improved the protection level of my home theater system, but also improved the overall picture quality from my (wall) cable source. The design is exceptional, with little wasted space, despite my use of a three-pronged TV cable and 6 additional electronic devices. The extra cable input line and plastic dust covers for the unused outlets were unexpected niceties. The quality, useful design, and level of protection for the price (in addition to the generous warranty) greatly exceeded those of the Monster Power cable it replaced. Thanks Tripp-Lite!
