does the surge protector have a port for cable tv?

No it does not have a port for cable TV. It strictly an electrical surge protector, ideal for protecting your devices from surge. If you are worried about your TV or Cable box, being fried, because of an electrical surge, that surge is not going to come through the RG6 cable, that cble TVuses. It runs through the ground to your house. If you are worried about RG6 that you are using to hook up your satelitte TV, then that is different, because you have the risk of lightning. I guess the remote possibility that your cable box might get struck by lightning exists, but I would think that would be a very low risk. Hope this helps. No it does not have a port for cable TV.

I don't rember if it has an AC outlet labeled "cable" but it does not have any coax input or outputs only AC ports. There are 3 always on (one in front and two in the back) and the others are isolated bank ac outputs.

No, it doesn't but make sure you plug it in the wall not a surge protector.

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.

Yes, there are coax connections, this is from the manual: Surge Protected COAX/RF Connectors The H10 provides surge protection for your CATV system, Cable Modem, DSS, or Antenna system. The surge protection feature prevents surges traveling over Coaxial data lines from damaging the system. Connect the coaxial cable from the CATV or Cable Modem provider to the connector marked "IN." Connect other cable from the connector marked "OUT" to the device being protected (CATV box or Cable Modem).

Yes, it has cable in and cable out to TV. We bought the actual cables at Amazon, but other stores have them. They are under $5.00!

Yes it does! There is also a USB port on the side of the TV as well :) Hope that answers your questions!

Looking at the description, it says it's a surge protectory. However, I was only using it for the adaptor issues.

You only need one of these, attached to the main cable that comes into your house. That will stop any electrical surge that may come through the cable itself. It doesn't function like a "ground" for everything, though... The power cord of each device (TV, computer, etc.) will still need to be plugged into a wall outlet or power strip that's equipped with surge protection in order to stop surges that may come through the regular house wiring.

Yes and No. The USB ports are powered and the surge suppress indicator works. I have mine plugged into a GFCI outlet. This device is designed to be attached to a standard duplex outlet using the supplied screw that mates with the screw hole for a standard wall plate. This cannot be done with a GFCI. I use it by being careful to hold the device when pulling cables out.

Yes, same unit and yes it has a flat plug. Also comes with a short coax cable. My cable service is not compatible with this equipment so it was silly to spend the premium to get protection from a surge stru the cable.

No, the outlets are just regular outlets that are protected-there is no specific outlet made for protecting just a receiver or just a TV-plugs are not yet that specific.

I made some search and find an article which might answer your question. I hope it helps! http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-surge-protector/

Yes, there is a small USB or AC socket powered amplifier which just attaches to the cable before it plugs into the ANTENNA socket on your TV.

Yes it is, at least that's what it says on the box ! It doesn't have a surge protector light on it, like most surge protectors, But if it wasn't built in to it, I'm sure, they would advertise it as a surge protector ! But it is a really cool unit, with 2 usb moutlets, 2 1 amp, & 2 2.1 amp for faster charging, very cool !

No. There are products offered on Amazon. I use a converter/surge protector similar to the Walkabout All-in-One Travel Adapter Plug with Built-in Surge Protector. It depends what you want to power.

I only have one usb port on mine. It is powered with the power switch, goes on and off with the TV.

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.
