You can't go wrong. Twelve outlets. You can't go wrong with this item. Nicely laid out for regular and converter plugs. And the price is good. I've bought eight of these for home and office.
This item provides over 4000 joules of protection and is designed to reduce cable clutter. Excellent bang for the buck.
Anyway my other complaint is that this add-on surge protector advertises Ethernet / Telephone / Coaxial surge protection and rightly so.BUT it fails to include an input jumper cable of each type so one can actually use it right out of the box. Belkin should have had the warning label ALSO declare that the Ethernet jacks were hiding beneath. Remember."neatness counts" As you may know it has surge protection as well for RJ-11 (telephone) RJ-45 (Ethernet) and coaxial (75 ohm multimedia cable) I am currently only using the Ethernet jacks.BUT as one other reviewer mentioned, I had to hunt and search as the Ethernet jacks 'were nowhere to be found'. The cord organizer is a very welcome addition. I realize the product literature does not say one way or the other if input cables are included. Frankly ladies and gentelmen, it pissed me off.Not the searching as I did find them, but the use of a warning label to hide them.
Well after sitting on the floor pondering this and cussing a little too I somewhat reluctantly tried peeling away a 'warning label' of some sort and 'Lo and Behold" were the 2 Ethernet jacks. I saw the warning label earlier and did not attempt to remove it. I agree with all the other reviews about number of outlets provided and spacing for wall warts etc.so no further remarks on that needed. I would still recommend this unit 100% with the foreknowledge one will need to beg borrow or buy input cables beforehand in order to actually use this product right out of the box for RJ-11, RJ-45, and Coaxial protection. Many other devices that are an ADD-ON to existing systems DO INCLUDE the required cables so one can actually ADD-ON the accessory.I had to go to the store and purchase an Ethernet cable.this is MY FAULT for not investigating more thoroughly pre-sale but live and learn. This surge protector is a great value and a very feature laden product for it's type. I nearly called Amazon for an RMA.
After all it was there as a 'warning' so I may benefit from seeing it another time. Once routed through to thier respective outlets the mass of attached AC cords no longer looks like an 'electrical porcupine' but instead as a very well designed and neat feature with very visible and immediate benefits. The label could have easily been edited to say "The Ethernet jacks are underneath". I've had many power strips in the past but this one extra feature has been long overdue. How silly to hide the Ethernet jacks beneath a warnming label that, like me, many folks would not ever consider removing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. How proposterously silly and ridiculous to obfuscate them beneath a very valid warning label without declaring thier whereabouts beneath.
At the very least the manufacturer could provide a sheet with the mounting hole pattern for placement. However I believe the manufacturer could improve the mounting holes it has on the bottom for mounting the device on the wall. The small power transformers that I have plugged in have not become disconnected or fallen out with the protector wall mounted. Once the product arrived I untangled the mess of power cords I had under my computer desk. This was a factor in deciding to purchase this one. I really like the surge protector's number of outlets and the order they are arranged. The product has worked very well. I would choose this product again.
I have used other belkin surge protectors in my office and have been satisfied with them. This is a bit challenging under a desk. I would like to see the mounting holes moved farther apart or extended to where they protrude on the ends and one could just screw it to the wall.
After using this product for one day there were mild light fluctuations in the house. I have to seriously think about buying Belkin suppressors any more. No other equipment or surge suppressor in the house was damaged but this surge suppressor stopped working.
