Belkin Compact Surge Protector

Not only does this surge unit take more joules than any I've seen on the market.. including that well known brand that they try to sell you at every electronics store for a lot more money, but this unit is neat, clean, works really well. and looks great. This is the second one I have purchased. It also comes with a 6 foot cord which I am told is also quite special as many only have 3 feet of cord to work with. It also has a right angle plug that tilts up a bit to give you a little more room at the outlet.

purchase arrived on time, power strip worked as advertised - all that is fine and deserves a 3, but the design is pleasing to the eye and works well when you run the strip along a wall - which most of us do. The power cord has a side facing plug so that when you put it in your outlet it remains flush against the wall - cool! it also has distributed inputs so you're not forced to leave one or more "large" plugs out - you can use all the outlets - cool! plus its design gives a stable base - not just a flat heavy one, but a stand on your own type - cool. And it has a built-in cable holder - so your wires leading up to the item are kept snug along the same low profile cord - cool. finally it was inexpensive compared to other like items - pretty much I'm a happy camper. I'm a cheap one though since I only bought one and won't get another for a while - they're relatively inexpensive (compared to monster and some other products) but I'm not gonna go replacing any others in the house.

We just receive these (ordered 6) yesterday and put them at every computer station in our office. We particularly like the profile and how the white matches our Mac computers (versus most styles that look like a skateboard with plugs). They are high capacity and should protect our equipment in the event of surges which our older building gets a lot of to the point that one knocked out our elevator last year. Hopefully, these will do the trick and look nice in the process.

First, this is a nice profile, and the great thing is that each of the sockets is accessible even with huge adaptors. Very nicely designed, with a small footprint.
