Is this a surge protector?

No. There is a breaker only. Typically, for power distribution, this unit would be connected to a UPS or power conditioner.

No. It only provides multiple outlets from one wall outlet. I used it to connect multiple devices to power at a work station. I used a battery backup system to provide surge isolation.

No I do not but I do keep it plugged into a surge protector. So far, so good.

This power strip has minor surge protection. I would not depend on this to protect anything important. I've used it plugged into another surge protector and then used the ends to plug the wall warts for things like my cell phone, tablet, and laptop which don't all like to plug into normal power strips so easily. This is good for devices that have fat wall wart transformers.

No, this is made for clamping to a desk. If you need one that sits on a flat surface, consider purchasing a normal non-desk mounted surge protector.

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

The product description claims that the strip offers over-current protection, though I have not had any power surges that have tested the strip. I currently have it plugged into a surge protector and I am having no problems.

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.

Yes the one I received had the surge protector. Only issue I had with it is I realized its an older model fence. About 3 yes old.

There is a UL Listed sticker on the bottom of the surge protector. Here's a link to a photo: http://aehass.zenfolio.com/p218402084/h370c0f13#h370c0f13

It is a surge protector. Best item I have ever purchased. I have given 6 to friends and family and they all love it.

No, I use it plugged into a regular double 3-prong wall outlet which also has the surge protector for my desktop computer, printer, modem and wi-fi plugged into the other half.

Yes. In the middle of the Surge Protector you'll notice four black hole areas. Two are for phone protection and the other two are network cable protection. :)

No, it does not come with a surge protector but it does have a fuse inside that will blow if the current limit is exceeded.

It does not need a surge protector and just plugs into a 110 volt electric socket. But overseas outlets may be different and require an adapter. Need to research wherever you are going to be.

No, that is not the purpose of this unit. This is a power conditioned, a glorified surge protector, not a charger.

it is a surge protector - and will protect you from a bad 'spike'. but for sensitive equipment that requires line conditioning, you might want to get something more advanced. this is a heavy duty outlet strip with a circuit breaker.
