Surge Suppressor
Hi,
It is only too obvious that lightning can cause large surges of power that can damage your computer. Few devices can protect your system from a direct strike, but if the storm is distant enough, a good surge suppressor can help. For good measure, you will want a suppressor that offers protection for telephone and fax equipment since your computer may be connected to these devices. The Tripp-Lite 10-Outlet surge suppressor with coaxial and telephone protection can provide the protection you need.

10-Outlet Surge Suppressor With Coaxial And Telephone Protection
You’ll want a suppressor that protects your computer against spikes (momentary but extremely high over-voltages) and surges (chronic over-voltages). These over-voltages come in from power lines and also through data lines (such as phone and network cables). The Tripp-Lite 10-Outlet surge suppressor with coaxial and telephone protection protects you from against surges from both sources. What other qualities should you look for?
A good suppressor must have a UL-1499 rating to qualify as a “true” surge protector, with a let-through voltage of 400V AC or less. Note that low-cost units have a lower UL rating (UL-1363) thus can protect only against modest over-voltages. There must be a fast surge clamping response time (1 nanosecond or less) to ensure the surge does not get through. The joule rating must be high, which implies that the device can dissipate greater amounts of electrical energy. If you check the features of the Tripp-Lite 10-Outlet surge suppressor with coaxial and telephone protection (click on the image), you’ll find it has UL-1499 with let-through of 330V, a response time of less than 1nanosecond and an AC suppression joule rating of 2395 joules.
It has the capability to accommodate 5 transformer plugs without overlapping into the other outlets. Instead of a fuse, you’ll find a 15 amp resettable circuit breaker so you don’t have to worry about a blown fuse. There is EMI/RFI noise filtration of up to 40dB, and an LED warning that indicates if your computer is properly grounded. Just as important — and a high quality surge suppressor should have this — the Tripp-Lite 10-Outlet surge suppressor with coaxial and telephone protection offers a $150,000 connected-equipment lifetime warranty.
If you use surge protectors like the Tripp-Lite 10-Outlet surge suppressor with coaxial and telephone protection with its high-quality features, you will be less vulnerable to power problems. Life has no reset button, think safety.
Safe living,
