Unique, Compact Design Stays Out of the Way
The Compact Surge Protector features a streamlined design that keeps clutter to a minimum and is easy to keep out of the way. The unique, vertical design lets the surge protector easily sit on the floor, against a wall, under a desk, or behind furniture such as a couch. Its white finish blends seamlessly into the background without drawing any attention to itself.

The surge protector's sliding covers keep the unused outlets clean and safe from curious children and pets. Additionally, integrated cable management helps keep your cords tidy.

Eight Protected Outlets Safeguard Computers, Appliances, and Electronics
The Belkin Compact Surge Protector provides premium power protection for computers, stereos, big screen TVs, and other valuable electronic devices so you don't have to worry about power lulls and surges damaging your equipment and destroying your invaluable data. Advanced design elements, high-quality construction, and superior circuitry and components combine to provide great protection from power surges, spikes, lightning strikes, and AC contamination.

For maximum versatility, the protector features four regular outlets and four BlockSpace outlets that can handle oversized charger plugs.

Full Protection for Your Phone/Fax/Modem Lines
Protected pass-through points for phone/fax/modem lines are a critical part of keeping your expensive electronic gear safe, since surges over these lines are just as dangerous and damaging as surges over electrical lines. That's why the Belkin Compact Surge Protector offers one RJ11-in plug and two RJ11-out plugs for phone, fax, and modem protection. By using this protection, you can properly ensure the safety of your telecommunications devices against electrical disturbances.

Why is it important to protect my telephone or Ethernet line? Surges can enter your home or office through telephone lines to harm and even destroy sensitive electronic devices, including your computer. Using a surge protector with telephone or Ethernet protection is the only way to properly ensure the safety of your telecommunications devices against electrical disturbances.

Good, clean design and layout. Flexible enough to accommodate up to 6 power bricks without blocking the other outlets (4 on the wide face, 2 more on the ends of the narrow face). A "Not Grounded" warning light is a great feature that provides additional peace of mind.

I mounted it on the underside of my desk to get all the wires off the floor. The thoughtful design extends to the keyhole for screw mounting which gives you the option of forward or sideways engagement. It works even better when upside down because the cables hang down instead of draping over.

On the quality side, the on/off switch feels flimsy, and 3 prong, grounded plugs take some effort to pull back out. Belkin probably figured these actions aren't frequent enough to warrant complaint, i.e. most people just plug in, switch on, and forget about it for the next three years, and cost reduced these components to keep the price down. It's a good compromise. I'm very pleased with the product and the price!

This compact power strip is as stylish as a power strip can be. The power cord is long and has a flat 90 degree plug which is convenient when you are using an outlet behind the a couch or furniture.

This review is from: Belkin 8 Outlets 3195 Joule Compact Surge Protector, 6Ft (Electronics)

My old surge protector was getting in my way with it's flat design and a mess of cords drapping over it. With this surge protector, I have said good-bye to all of those problems. The shape is what makes this protector so funtional. The sockets aren't all tightly packed and difficult to access. With four on the side and four on top, it's very easy to reach in and unplug or plug in cords without getting tangled up in the others. This is a great product for the design and the funtionality of it. Worth the price.
