Hi. I have not connected 2 of them to each other. What I have is ONE extension/surge protector and 2 Nugiant connected to it. One on each night table next to my bed. This allows us to connect our devices on night tables to power overnight

No, it won't harm your computer or monitor. It would be better to buy one surge protector that has enough outlets, or to plug both smaller surge protectors directly into the wall though.

Yes...however if your current outlet plate is oversized you may have problems. I had difficulty getting the outlet into the box in the wall because it is quite deep, so make sure you have plenty of depth for it. We really like this outlet...saves space on the counter by allowing 2 regular plugs plus 2 USB plugs. I really like that it turns off the inverter while a usb cable is not pugged in. Just remember where you put your adapter that you took off your USB plug, just in case you need it to travel or something. Hope this helps.

No this is just an extension to the line in the wall. The current still has to go through anything that comes after it including the surge protector.

The plug will fit into the surge protector. That's the only thing that matters to make it work.

With any device installed in the line you will get some signal loss. This device had very little signal loss to the surprise of our "cable guy". As for using it in conjunction with a surge protector at the TV, it shouldn't be necessary as a "cable surge" protector but you may still want to use other protector for the electricity side of the TV. Our cable guy also said that if the cable coming into the house is properly grounded at the site of entry, a cable surge protector shouldn't be necessary at all...but I installed this device "just in case". Everything works great. However, also according to our "cable guy" this device should be installed so that the ground (to the outside ground or metal water pipe, etc) on this surge protector is a shorter distance than the distance to the TV. That is to assure that the surge gets to the ground before it has time to get to the TV.

The item shipped to me has a usb cable about 18 inches long. I would think an extender cable would work. Since the only purpose for the usb cable is to power the unit, there should only be two conductors inside it, but the insulation sheath hides that. The usb connector is nice in that it provides a female usb outlet so you don't lose a usb port when you plug in the monitor. If you're handy soldering you could almost certainly cut the cable and splice in any reasonable length of additional 2 conductor cable (just make sure you maintain the polarity).

Never plug a power backup unit such as this into a protector strip. It can cause power surges and other issues.

The is the new version that only takes up one outlet leaving the remaining outlet free. I currently cannot attest to the size of the plug that will fit in the second outlet since I had not needed to plug anything else into the wall outlet. The units also work with surge protector strips. So if the plug size is an issue when plugged into the wall, the unit can be plugged into an extension strip and used that way with no problem. The unit will however cover up the plug opening next to it on the strip. You should be able to fit at least three units on a six outlet strip if needed.

It may depend on how your outlet is configured. All of my outlets are horizontal with the two prong and ground holes facing the same direction. I have the Surge Protector on the right side (maybe your top outlet), and there is enough room for another three prong (grounded) plug to fit in the left side (maybe your bottom outlet). In your scenario, this is assuming that the third prong (grounded) hole is on the bottom for each outlet. Now if you are only plugging in a two prong in the other outlet, this appears to be a non-issue. Hope this helps!

I'm able to plug in a three prong (grounded extension cord) in the other outlet. It's a tight fit.

I would not recommend this at all. You CAN plug it into a surge strip, but with a high amperage device like a space heater this is a recipe for an electrical fire. You should only plug this directly into the wall outlet and not into anything else that comes between the outlet and heaters cord.

No.Even if you would modify this unit to fit (NOT recommended) it would not protect anything because there would be no ground on the unit. And even if you modify your outlets, AGAIN, it would NOT protect the equipment because there is NO GROUND connected. Why not purchase a cheaper unit that just distributes electricity but does not protect from surges.

Mine is plugged into a surge protector with other items, and it works just fine. I would not guess that that should be happening. Perhaps you have a bad section of the surge protector. I'd try moving the items around on the surge protector and seeing if that helps. But, that shouldn't be happening.

Surge protector are designed to stop the flow of current to your electrical device. This product is no different. It would either have to be reset or replaced depending on how heavy of a surge it received.

That's what I am doing. No problems till now. It also depends on the quality of extension cord and what else you are connecting to it (if using an extension board with more than 1 plug points. I am using an extension board made for computers, with surge protection.

I am unfamiliar with any need to connect a HDMI cable to a surge protector. This device is a coupler; i.e. its purpose is to join two male to male HDMI cables. So, if you need a twelve foot HDMI cable and you have two unused 6 ft HDMI cables you could use this coupler to join the two.

Not sure of the best thing to do but there is diminishing amperage with just one power strip. I found this when seeking to power a saw that uses all 15 amps. This surge protector has an output of something like 12.5 amps. I don't know what would happen if you daisy chain different pieces together. If you do that, I'd get a product with just 2 or 4 recepticles on it and save a few dollars. If you are real worried, I might call some electrical supply house in your area and find out what others do if you have a shakey power service. Our power goes off and comes back on quickly sometimes so I even have a surge protector on my aging refrigerator. The power system in this country is aging and I've seen many pieces of expensive commercial equipment blown out at once by careless electric company folks. There is good reason to do something...
