In addition to AC line protection, the HT10DBS includes built-in RJ11 jacks to prevent surges from damaging your modem/fax/phone equipment (6-ft. telephone cord included), built-in RJ45 jacks to prevent surges from damaging 10BT equipment (6-ft. network cable included), and built-in gold, Type F coax jacks prevent surges from damaging your cable/satellite equipment (digital broadband quality accommodates 2.2GHz bandwidth; 6-ft. coax cable included).

Improved Component Performance

Various electrical and radio sources can cause disruptive interference on the AC line. This line noise is a common cause of incremental hardware damage, data corruption and audio/video performance problems. The HT10DBS incorporates exclusive Isobar technology including isolated filter banks to eliminate interference between connected components, plus full EMI/RFI line noise filtering, to ensure peak audio and video performance.

Powerful AC Line Surge Suppression

A total of 10 AC outlets, arranged to accommodate up to 4 bulky transformers without blocking remaining outlets, provide protection for multiple components.

Built-In Diagnostic Capabilities

Three diagnostic LEDs alert users to protection, line power and ground status. The green “protected” LED indicates that the surge suppression components are intact and providing complete protection against surges. If this LED does not illuminate, some of the surge suppression components are not functioning, and the unit should be replaced. The red “grounded” LED assures you that the wall outlet is grounded and surge protection can function. The second green “Line OK” LED assures you that the wall outlet is properly wired and no fault condition exits. An illuminated master switch provides one-touch power control over all components.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tripp Lite Home Theater Surge Protector (HT10DBS), September 15, 2006

This review is from: Tripp Lite HT10DBS 10-Outlet Home Theater Surge Protector (3570 Joules, Tel/Ethernet/Coax) (Electronics)

This surge protector was recommended by several audio and home theatre internet sites. It's solid in construction and is aesthetically pleasing. There are three indicator lights that serve as a heads up as to wether the surge protector is working properly or not. The 10 outlets are labeled (DVD, Amp, receiver,CBL/SAT, etc.). It also comes with additional labels if you have two of any electronic device or do not like the label arrangment on the surge protector. The outlets are spaced out so its easy to fit as many as 6 transformers onto the surge protector. On the side of the surge protector are inputs for a phoneline and an internet line. The device also allows protection for up to three coaxial cables. The output Watt capacity is 1440 watts. This surge protector has allowed me to safely and adequately protect everything in my room. It is great if you want to organize all the wires behind a desk or TV/audio stand. I am thoroughly impressed with the device and would recommend it to anyone.

This review is from: Tripp Lite HT10DBS 10-Outlet Home Theater Surge Protector (3570 Joules, Tel/Ethernet/Coax) (Electronics)

So I built a new home theater recently with the following devices:
* 65" WD-65831 TV
* XBox 360 + HD-DVD Player
* Nintendo Wii
* Sony VCR
* Motorola 6200 Set Top Box
* Onkyo 990 THX Sound System (Receiver + Sub use power)

So every single plug on this thing is full... I was really worried I hadn't bought big enough even though this is the 2nd from the top of the line Tripp Lite that is made and I have to say it's been performing like an absolute champ. I've never had a surge or power failure. Even when I flip all 3 of the most power hungry devices on at once (using Harmony remote) there is no indication that there isn't enough power.

My wife and I have watched a few movies through some pretty serious monsoons here with no ill effects... I wouldn't advise that, but we were right in the middle of the movie and didn't want to stop.

I would absolutely buy this again or anything else from Tripp Lite. The power block itself is really heavy, made out of strong steel, nicely labeled and just a top notch piece of electronics. Not to mention the warranty covering damage due to a power surge up to 200k I believe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved my AV system, February 18, 2007

By 

Mark (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tripp Lite HT10DBS 10-Outlet Home Theater Surge Protector (3570 Joules, Tel/Ethernet/Coax) (Electronics)

I purchased the HT10DBS about 2 years ago. It has great price to performance ratio. Tripp lite is well known for their Isobar surge suppression units which are top of the line. I have always used their products for my computers. When it was time to a high end home theater system, I opted for the HT10DBS. I do not regret it. The unit has sturdy construction and has a line conditioner built in. Last fall we had a lightning strike in our front yard while my system was on and it totally saved my AV units while frying one of the neighbor's cars (the electrical system was toast!). There are other more famous and marketed brands out there which charge more for their products (you know who they are). Don't bother with them, stick with Tripp lite!
