What is the True Clamping Voltage?
on May 25, 2025
Posted by: PeteD
One of the most important surge protection parameters is the "voltage protection rating (VPR)" or "clamping voltage". On Belkin's web site for this product (BE108000-08-CM), it states that the clamping voltage is 330V, but on the back of the product it says" L-N 400V, L-G 500V, N-G 500V". So, Belkin, please tell me what is the VPR or clamping voltage of this product? I need to protect some very sensitive electronic equipment. I thought I was getting 330V, which is the recommended VPR for electronics and I need assurance that my equipment will be protected. Thank you.

Perfect for home office

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This plug strip is everything I need to to be without a bunch of stuff I don't need. It has plenty of outlets and it has good spacing between some of the outlets for larger boxy plug in power supplies. This surge protector doesn't have all the extra stuff like coax in/ out and ports for RJ35 data cables. I'm on wifi and don't need all that stuff wasting space. It's not 1998, so I'm glad Belkin didn't include those. The plug on the 8 foot cord is a 90 degree type and the cord comes out at a 45 degree angle, so it doesn't block the second socket when plugged into a typical duplex wall outlet. I appreciate the 8 foot cord the most I think. I've set up my home office in our (finished) basement hallway and the cubby under/ behind the stairs. Since this is the basement the outlet count and locations aren't ideal. The only outlet even close to my desk is on the side wall next to the desk rather than behind my desk where I needed it, so having the 8 foot cord is what makes this location possible at all.
My only real criticism of this power strip is that when wall mounted, the power cord enters the strip itself on the bottom which seems ideal- but the on/off switch is also on the bottom. It would be better to have the on/ off switch up top so when mounted, the cords don't drape down over the switch. The switch won't get bumped by the cords or a foot moving under the desk but it's just a little harder to turn on/ off that it would be if it were on top.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Didn't protect well

I bought this unit a year or two ago to protect two computers in my office. Neither uses a lot of power so I thought this would do the trick. A couple of days ago we had our first power outage since I've had it and it didn't fare well. Although one computer seems to be fine, the other's power supply got fried and had to be replaced. I guess I should be happy that it wasn't worse, but still. I think I'll be looking into upgrading.

Didn't protect at all
on March 8, 2017
Posted by: Giovanni
from Cleveland, OH
I bought this three months ago, the day after I bought entirely new computer parts ($1000 worth), and I figured everything would be fine, as this had decent reviews online. We had a brief power outage here yesterday and now my PSU is dead. I'm really not impressed, and kind of surprised, as I've used plenty of Belkin products in the past with few to no problems. I'll be upgrading and getting a UPS to prevent this from happening going forward.

Perfect spacing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another excellent product from a brand you know and trust! This surge protector is exactly what I needed to organize the mess behind my TV stand. I love that the spacing between outlets accommodates all the awkward bulky plugs of my devices.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great functional design

from Florida
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This surge protector provides everything we needed. The 8' cord is super convenient, as well as the many outlets that make it the only thing we need for our TV/gaming/DVR set up. It helped us clear up a huge mess of wires and multiple extension cords. Would recommend.

Heavy duty
on July 27, 2022
Posted by: speedycart
from CT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin 8-Outlet Commercial Surge Protector with 8' Cord is heavy duty. The plug is low profile which will be nice in tight situations, and the long cord makes it very useful. Each outlet has a little sliding cover so that you can cover unused ones to keep the dust out. Some of them slide open/closed easily but others don't. I will let our college student take this to use in the dorm and will be glad to know that her new laptop and phone are covered under the connected equipment warranty (up to $100k) while plugged in to this.
I would recommend this to a friend!
