2160 joules of protection: Solid defense against power surge

The Tripp Lite Protect It! 12-Outlet Surge Protector (TLP1208TEL) is a standout choice if you're looking to safeguard a full setup of electronics-think gaming rigs, home theaters, or office gear.

I have purchased these in the past.

I'm using this as a surge protector for my 65" Sony TV, Nvidia Shield and my wireless mesh node. If we get a large surge, this will burn up and my electronics won't. I had issues in the past living where there was lots of lightning. Had other Tripp LIte surge strips work as expected. The strip burns up but my electronics survive. The warranty is worth the price. It has plenty of plugs for devices. I don't have a lot of devices but if you do this will work well. The Tel/Modem ports I don't use in my current setup. In the past, these devices have worked great and saved my modem during a lightning storm. For the cost, this is a good surge protector for the money.

Great design

I use it I. My office to plug in several things. The huge plugs take up two spaces but the design makes it easier to access

Yes

I use it for multi plug ins for sewing accessories, printer, computer etc. The only problem is with it being black and the off/on button is in a place for me to see. I'm 85 yrs. old. I need to turn off and on as I have LED trees plug into it.

A Must Have for Home Theaters!

We use this product, behind our media station, in our home theater. Tripp Lite gives me the peace of mind that $10,000 of theater equipment is adequately protected, here in South Florida with the occasion black outs and sever thunderstorms.

Complete Confidence

I have two other Tripp Lite surge protectors, bought many years ago. Nary a problem, especially when we went thru the big freeze, in TX, in Feb. 2021. Electricity cutting on and off for days. Circuit breakers cutting on and off. None of my electronics suffered any damage. Love the new one that has 12 outlets. Saves me from buying another as most of my entertainment electronics are in same area and have to only use one outlet now.

Someone else's loss may have just saved my equipment

My son just lost his 65" TV to a lightning surge using a competitors protector, so I looked around and found I had a NAS, router, dock, monitor, and 2 printers that were unprotected. I have three other Tipp Lite protectors, and after comparing the warranty and level of protection I chose this 12-outlet with room for transformer blocks. I now have all my home computer and entertainment equipment protected by Tripp Lite.

Ideal design for components

This is exactly what I needed - trustworthy protection and the right amount of the right kinds of sockets. This hub has enough space for my switch, modem, gateway, access point, hue bridge, and all the little home automation hubs modern life has tossed at me. The wider sockets are great for the pesky ac adapter that don't play nice. I love the plug covers that protect the socket from dust and debris. I'm going to order another one for my PC system.

Problem Solved

This is the second Tripp surge protector that I purchased in order to set up another wifi at another location, after the first one successfully protected a sensitive wireless modem from having to be replaced because of power surges. Three years ago, after two modems fried in one week, a savvy tech person advised me to get a surge protector for the incoming phone line, and my third modem has lasted three years so far.

I feel a lot safer knowing my Xbox, laptop, and desktop are all plugged into this tripp-lite surge protector. The spaced outlets work with all my large powerbricks and the status lights aren't intrusive. The angled wall plug makes it fit nicely behind my desk

Great value at $35 for number of outlets and convenience.

I read alot of reviews and did some research and read that this was a trust worthy brandt; you want to buy a durable surge protector and not cheap out. Other than the green/red light lights that are on, the surge protector works great under my desk!

Normal power surge strip. Seems good quality. Bought since it will cut off power once its protection wears out.
