Belkin 12-Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip W/ 8ft Cord

Works well

I bought this as a replacement to my previous surge protector which had already had its “protected” light go off in less than a year. This surge protector looks hefty and premium in comparison. At the low price, you get a lot of joules and a lot of warranty coverage. It’s straight forward to use right out of the box and looks nice in my gaming pc setup. At this price you would think this is a low tier, low quality product but that’s not the case here. Good quality surge protectors don’t have to cost an arm or leg.

To preserve my surge protector I unplug it every time I’m done using my PC. Because no surge protector ensures 100% protection against lightning strikes and it takes less than a minute to unplug it. What happened to my old surge protector was I unplugged the peripherals but left the power strip plugged in so it got destroyed by lightning. So now I flip the switch and unplug it from the wall. It’s very nice that the power button is on the side of the strip and easy to flip. The cables are quite thick and bulky which makes it seem even more heavy duty but can get in the way sometimes. The main plug is easy to take off the wall due to it being rounded which is nice. There’s more than enough outlets for me to use, but even so I occupied a lot of space with just 4 things plugged in. There’s no USB ports on this power strip but that’s okay if you have any old power bricks laying around from old phones. I use it to power my mini USB fan. Overall I’m happy with this surge protector and glad I have one that’s branded as opposed to an unknown name. Mine will last my years since I will be unplugging it between uses. Which might sound counterintuitive, but there are other power surges besides lightning strikes which is what the box taught me. It gives me the biggest piece of mind when I’m at work while it’s storming and I know my stuff are already unplugged from the wall. This surge protector is there for a just in case moment that a surge happens while my PC is plugged in and I didn’t expect it.

I have not had any complaints about this particular product. It supports a TV, charging station, XBox Series X, and for the ancient among us, a combo VHS/DVD player. Never had an issue with stability, or shorts, heating and hazards, none. No issues. Very safe unit to use without a second thought.

A pesar de que el precio podría ser un poco elevado, estás pagando por la calidad del producto. Los espacios entre los conectores laterales es suficiente como para poder conectar eliminadores de corriente estorbosos sin obstruir el resto de los contactos. En efecto te avisa si tu conexión
no está aterrizada. Tiene unas pequeñas compuertas para evitar que alguien o algo pudiera hacer corto circuito en los conectores desocupados. También tiene un gancho el parte inferior para organizar tus cables y entrada y salida de coaxial (aunque no la he ocupado aún)

Neatly tucks all your cables away and provides 4000J protection. Ports are widely spaced, which is necessary for big bulky adapters. Power cable is lengthy and has an angled orientation head that wouldn’t interfere with any other cables.

So far it’s handling everything I through at it and works beautifully. All you really need is some gorilla tape, and you can place this bad boy anywhere. Looks to be very sturdy and capable to last years. Rainy season is coming, protect yourself!

This is a good power strip, not too large but handles several plugs very effectively. My only issue is the on/off switch, which I don’t actually have to use very often. The switch is very easy to turn off, but somewhat harder to turn the power strip on. In all, I really like this power strip. It fits well into a small space, and the indicator light is just bright enough to see without being too bright.

The product is well designed and solidly built.
