Tripp Lite's TLP810NET surge suppressor has 8 outlets, a 10-ft. cord with a space-saving right-angle plug, and diagnostic LEDs. The unit has a surge suppression rating of 3690 joules to handle the strongest surges. Built-in RJ11, RJ45, and Type F coax jacks prevent surges from damaging your modem/fax/10BT/cable/satellite equipment. Coaxial jacks provide digital broadband quality and can handle 2.2GHz bandwidth.ith WebTV, television, TV tuner cards and cable modems. Built-in RJ45 jacks provide complete protection for Ethernet cards connected to Local Area Networks or cable/DSL modems. Built-in RJ11 jacks prevent surges on up to two phone/fax/modem lines simultaneously. Diagnostic LEDs and an audible alarm alert the user to potential power problems.

This surge protector has room for everything I want to plug in. It has one light that confirms it's grounded and another light that says protected. I chose this brand because the computer guy at work told me that this company is very good about replacing surge protectors that don't work. I feel good about this purchase.

The salesman sold me the Monster Protector, $$$, for my LCD TV. I checked on Amazon, bought the Tripp Lite. I am very pleased and returned the over-priced Monster :) Although it is unlikely that any surge protector will prevent a direct hit, this looks like a quality surge protector, with guarantees if your equipment is damaged.

A powerful receiver, sub, big screen TV and all the periferial components often require more Amps than a standard 15 or 20 Amp circuit can provide. It is better to use two circuits. A single,expensive,surge protector/suppressor can not do this. The long cord and price of this (more than competent)unit makes "bi-circuiting" easy and affordable. I have had two for many years and just picked up a third. Well built, the older units are still, as new. I have not been surged. Others have stated that they are effective.

After our second major lightning strike in less than a year, I decided to buy top notch surge protectors for all my electronics. After reviewing several brands and models, I decided on two of the Tripp Lite and two Belkins. I chose the Tripp Lite because of its on/off switch, although I found out after they finally arrived that the Belkins do have a power switch on the end. The units are made of high quality plastics and the recepticles have individual covers to keep the dust and dirt out. A nice feature, and one they should have applied to the phone and ethernet jacks as well as they are harder to clean. The unit comes with a nice long heavy duty cord. The models I recieved had the flat angled plug on the end, and personally I think they are a nuisance. The Tripp Lite 810NET will protect all of your electronic devices and connections. Besides power, the unit has a phone jack set, an ethernet RJ45 jack set, and a coax connector set. So no matter how you connect, your covered with these units. Installation was simple and no different than a regular power strip. The units I purchased and recieved were supposed to come with all the cables, IE: A 5' Cat 5 Patch Cable, a 5' Coax Patch Cable and a 5' phone line. Someone stole the Cat 5 cable from one, and the Coax cable for the other. My only other beef was that it took 4 weeks to get the items. Now I did select free shipping, and both the Belkins and Tripp Lite were both stocked, sold and shipped by Amazon at the time. It was a little over 2 weeks before I even got my shipping notice. Even for free shipping, this was poor service.

Little to write yet - we have pretty dirty power, and I am waiting to see if it can deal with our occasional surges. So far, it has done well on a couple.
