This is a good choice for your home entertainment needs. Between TV sets, video game systems, DVD and Blu Ray players, and pretty much anything else you'll ever hook up, there's plenty of electronics to go around yet far fewer outlets. The Tripp Lite surge protector TLP810NET is ideal for providing you the space you need to hook many of your electronics up in a single area. This isn't simply because it provides 8 additional sockets that you can plug right into, but the real beauty of this device is in it's excellent design. First of all coming right out of the box your going to notice that the adapter you plug into the wall is angled so that it doesn't get in the way of other wall sockets. It doesn't matter if you plug it in the top or bottom socket on your outlet, it's cord is angled to loop over other sockets affording you the needed space. A simple thing really but very nifty and you wont find many surge protectors like this. It has 5 normal sockets and 3 spaced out sockets on separate sides of the protector. You can plug your bulky adapters into the spaced section without compromising other sockets on the device. They also placed slot shields on the sockets to prevent accidental poking and prodding from damaging the protector or yourself (silly you). You simply use your index fingers to slide the shields in and out as you require access to sockets. It also provides protection for an ethernet cable, cat 5 cords for telephones, and coax cables as well. So whether you have a video game system and TV center attached to this thing or a computer and land line phone it doesn't matter, Tripp Lite covers it all. It has 3690 joules which just basically means more protection from electrical damage. The more joules the better.



So in the end what really makes this a value in summary is design, quality, and adaptability. It does it's job and stays out of your way while protecting your electronics devices. Pretty tough not to appreciate that.

After being zapped twice during electric storms and loosing the cable modem and the computer input port, the Tripp Lite Surge Portector (TLP810NET) has given the required protection and has functioned just great.

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.

This surge protector has enough outlets for all my home theater gadgets i.e. 58' plasma, DVR, Blu-Ray, AV receiver, VCR( yes, I'm keeping it, just in case) and a powered sub. I still have 2 extra outlets to spare. It's built solid yet so compact it fits nicely behind my TV stand. You can buy more powerful surge protector or power management systems, but I think it's overkill. $250,000 lifetime insurance protection is more than plenty for my peace of mind.

The TLP810net has all the protection I need at an astonshing 2518 joule rating (higher joules=greater protection from surges). I plugged in my DSL modem, TV, and phone line on the RJ11 jacks, ethernet and coax outlets.And I could even plug in 3 bulky transformer plugs without blocking any of the 5 other outlets! What makes this product even better is the low price and the great insurance rating ($100,000 insurance on connected equipment)!I shop around, this is my 3rd Tripp Lite product and they are by far the best value and protection available!

I've owned 3 of these units -Tripp Lite 810NET surge protector - for several years now.A few weeks ago, an errant electrical surge came into our house.The Tripp Lite connected to my printer, modem, phone, and router -the only unit turned on at the time -caught the surge.Although the surge protector was fried all of the equipment connected to it was saved.Happy that the unit had done its job, I called Tripp Lite to see if this was, by chance,covered under the warranty. After asking a few basic questions and taking down my contact info, the Tripp Lite rep told me that a free replacement unit would be delivered in 7-10 days at no charge.True to his word, a unit arrived within a week.I couldn't be happier - the unit did the job as advertised, saved my equipment, and the warranty claim was honored with no fuss or problem whatsoever. I definitely recommend buying this product.It's a pleasure to do business with a company who stands behind its products and honors its promises.

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.

Can't say much about a product like this until lightning strikes, but it does appear to be well-constructed; has a solid feel to it. Like many other people, I needed the room for transformer-equipped electronics, but they didn't seem to be available when I bought my first surge protectors. I bought this model and Tripp-Lite's next to top-of-the-line Home Theatre surge protector at the same time to replace older, lower-joule-rated models. Am happy with both at this time.



Phone, ethernet, andcable outlets are well-placed for me, but I might prefer the power cord exit in a different location, perhaps out of the bottom of the case, since I have both of my units wall mounted.



I did a few hours of research before I settled on these. Tripp-Lite seems to have the best overall price/quality ratings from users on other forums. Most others, with the possible exception of Belkin (which are not quite as asthetically pleasing) do not have the joule ratings of Tripp-Lite. Then there's Monster....totally overpriced for the protection you get.

Bought one for my Dad for his computer a while back.Lightening hit a tree next to his house and a fork jumped to his roof (blew a bunch of shingles off).It ruined his TV, phone, a couple of radios and a bunch of lights.Ruined the surge protector too but it did its job, his computer was fine.Tripp Lite replaced the surge protector for free.A great product.
