  Strengths: high level of power protection (3996 joules), complete data-line protection (coax/RJ11/RJ45), well designed, easy to use, Belkin $300,000 equipment protection warranty

  Weaknesses:1 of 5 units ordered was defective and returned for replacement

  Overall Evaluation: I purchased 5 of the Belkin surge protectors for college dorm and home based computers. The main attraction of this surge protector was a high level of power protection (3996 joules) combined with complete data-line protection (coax/RJ11/RJ45 (Ethernet)) at a very competitive price. Belkin claims that this unit meets the recommended UL 1449 (power surge protection), UL 1363 (power cord) and UL 1283 (EMI/RFI filter) standards, but they do not mention meeting the UL 497 standard (surge protection for telephone lines (RJ11) and network lines (RJ45)). You may want to consider the Tripp-Lite TLP810NET at a higher price if full certification to UL standards is important to you. The Belkin surge suppressor is well designed and easy to use. Belkin provides a $300,000 warranty to replace equipment that was damaged by an electrical surge when that equipment was properly connected to their surge protector. After receiving the five units, I did a quality check for each one by connecting it to a computer with telephone (RJ11) and network connections (RJ45). I did not check the coax connection and, obviously, I did not check the surge suppression capability of these units. I was particularly concerned about any degradation of network speed when connected through the surge protector, so I performed a broadband test of upload/download speed using speedtest.net after making the network connection. I found that 4 of 5 surge protectors passed my quality check, but 1 of the 5 surge protectors had a defective RJ45 connection and was returned for replacement. I also found that the broadband speed was not affected when connected through the network connection (RJ45) of the 4 surge protectors that passed my quality check.Once you get passed the hassle of possibly receiving a defective unit, the Belkin surge suppressor appears to be a good value.

  Strengths: - slim profile- high # of outlets- 6 "transformer" outlets are far apart from one another --- no interference

  Weaknesses:comes in gray and gray only

  Overall Evaluation: This is one great surge protector. The 12 AC outlets are spaced logically. In particular, the 6 "transformer" outlets are far apart from one another. The transformers are therefore much less likely to block the other outlets. All 12 can be put to use, even if you have a lot of plugs that require that extra width.The slim profile is a plus.

  Strengths: Long cord. Many outlets. This baby organizes your spaghetti very nicely. $42 at Staples.

  Weaknesses:Switch feels iffy and not definite in on or off. Some phone chargers still block several plugs.(Motorola)

  Overall Evaluation: The switch works fine just has a short throw. I need more of these for my client NOW. Sliding covers work but who needs them really. Nice overall and the cable guides are Ok.
