Is this product UL listed as a "transient voltage surge suppressor" or UL 1449? (This would probably be found on underside of product.)

The Mediabridge surge protector UL label reads "Surge Protector Device 50E8"

Hey Karen, The underside of the product reads that it is a "Surge Protective Device 50E8 A414657H1". I am not quite sure if this helps.Shane

This is a power strip only, there is no surge suppressor related to this power strip. Fits American style wall plugs only.

I have opened this item up and there is nothing internal that suggests that it has a capability to be a "surge" protector. If you need a real "actual" surge protector unit; then purchase one that has that one specific design to it. Don't expect a power strip to have this function you are looking for. (Oh, by the way I am an Electrical Engineer with over 40 years experience)

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.

Didn't notice a UL sticker on back either, just as stated earlier only has a QC sticker. The material included states that it has six outlets rated to a cumulative total of 1875 watts and is equipped with a built in fuse T3.15A/250VAC - Also the USB circuits are equipped with an over-load protection and short-circuit protection

Not sure where you saw that. Surge watts 10,000 Rated would be less. Somewhere around 8500

If you are referring to the Belkin Surge UI certification, you can refer to this link: http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/template/LISEXT/1FRAME/showpage.html?name=VZCA.E152555&ccnshorttitle=Surge-protective+Devices&objid=1080352928&cfgid=1073741824&version=versionless&parent_id=1078524288&sequence=1 and search for the Surge Protector's model number.

On the "Technology Research Website" they give some specs but the not the most important "clamping voltage" which I found through reading various sites. The joules rating is 510 but a low joules rating is not necessarily an indicator of an inferior product as wikipedia's reasonably good article discusses. Response time is usually very good for MOV types as I think this is since MOV is the least expensive design (wikipedia again:) Thats what I've learned so far. This product also looks more promising than the similarly priced & rated product that doesn't claim protection but only says "Surge Status Indicator" So I haven't decided to buy yet myself but hope the info helps others who are interested. P.S. I just called tech support at 800 780-4324 and was told the clamping voltage on this model is 700 volts. I have read that 400 or less is best on some sites about surge protection. The manuals for their other models show a lower clamping voltage and may be better.

Like another write said....forget joules...look at clamping voltage and get 300 or less volts. This has 500 and is almost worthless since most failures from a power company transformer can hit you with 440 and that took out everything in my house including a well...surge protected TVs included. Luckily if your handy with a screw driver and a soldering iron you can change the MOVs in most electronics and the device with work just like new...or leave take it out and you have it working but with no protect next time. This strip uses movs and one hit and it will be gone.

This not something for "cleaning-up" power. By that I am guessing that you are talking about sags and surges. This is to protect against spikes, such as from a lightning hit. I believe some others have already responded with basically the same answer. --bill

Not recommended. This is not a surge protector. It built for clearn electronic, and specifily build for each Hifi component such as pre amp, powered amp, dvd, TV, receiver etc. I recomend an addition monster cable power surge.Dan T

Surge Suppression 1,030 Joules - this info is extracted from http://www.cyberpowersystems.com specifications.

I don't have an answer for you. My guess is your unit is "fried". I had two friends who had surge protector power strips, not Sidesocket, catch fire. I'm glad they were home!

Definitely a surge protector and is not MOV based, but a TVS diode surge protector. I find this type better for my Headphone amps. MOV based surge protectors seem to have a higher joule rating.

not sure. I think at HAS A BUILT IN SURGE SUPPRESOR. HAD IT FOR 6 MOS. LOVE IT AND EASY TO USE.

I have "whole-house" surge protection so I wasn't concerned with the capability of this unit. However, since you asked, I went back to the instructions that came with the unit. Under "Protections" it states: "USB circuits are equipped with over-load and short-circuit protections." That's it.
