Product Description

From the Manufacturer

It could happen in the blink of an eye: a sudden power surge that damages or destroys your valuable audio/video components. And even if a catastrophic surge never strikes, smaller power fluctuations and electromagnetic line noise can degrade audio and video performance, disrupt equipment settings and corrupt or erase important data. The solution to protect your valuable A/V components and other electronics from surge damage and performance problems? The ISOBAR6DBS with Tripp Lite's exclusive Isobar® surge suppression technology. This premium surge suppressor provides the best protection available for audio/video components and all electronics. It features a high 2520-joule surge suppression rating—more joules mean more protection for your valuable components! The ISOBAR6DBS features exclusive isolated filter banks to prevent disruptive line noise and interference between components from degrading component performance, helping to assure that your equipment performs at its peak.

Versatile Protection for A/V Components and All Electronics

The ISOBAR6DBS offers premium surge protection for all electronics. It incorporates Tripp Lite's exclusive Isobar surge suppression technology to stop even the strongest surges before they can damage or destroy sensitive equipment. The ISOBAR6DBS provides 6 AC outlets, plus single-line tel/DSL line surge protection, and 2-line 2.2 GHz coaxial protection. A long 6-ft. cord enables connection to a distant wall outlet and a space-saving right-angle plug allows furniture to be placed flush against the wall.

Exclusive Isobar Technology Safeguards Your Equipment

Compared with other surge suppressors, the ISOBAR6DBS provides a substantially larger and more robust component array to provide an effective, multi-layered defense against damaging power surges. More joules mean more protection, and the ISOBAR6DBS delivers with an impressive 2850-joule surge protection rating. The ISOBAR6DBS also features a rugged all-metal case that's capable of containing even the strongest surges that could melt or burn through the plastic housing of an ordinary surge suppressor.

Improved Component Performance

Various electromagnetic 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 performance problems. The ISOBAR6DBS features exclusive isolated filter banks that prevent line noise and interference between components from causing A/V distortion, computer lock-ups, data errors and similar problems. Isolated filter banks ensure that peripheral devices and appliances don't degrade the performance of sensitive A/V components and computers.

Protection on Multiple Connections

In addition to AC line surge protection, the ISOBAR6DBS includes built-in tel/DSL (RJ11) jacks to prevent surges from damaging your modem/fax/phone equipment (6-ft. telephone cord included), and two sets of built-in Type F gold coax jacks (digital broadband quality accommodates 2.2GHz bandwidth; 6-ft. coax cable included). Two-line coax protection enables you to safeguard both a cable and a satellite connection with one surge suppressor.

Built-In Diagnostic Capabilities

Three diagnostic LEDs (PROTECTION PRESENT, LINE FAULT & LINE OK) show power and protection status, enabling you to recognize power problems before they affect your valuable equipment. The PROTECTION PRESENT LED indicates that surge protection is available. If this green LED ever goes out, simply return the ISOBAR6DBS to Tripp Lite for a free replacement. The red LINE FAULT LED illuminates to indicate improper grounding, while the green LINE OK LED indicates that the that the ISOBAR6DBS is safely connected to a properly grounded wall outlet. An illuminated master switch provides one-touch power control over all components.

Ultimate Peace of Mind

The ISOBAR6DBS comes with $250,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance—guaranteed lifetime protection for your equipment in case of surge damage, including direct lightning strikes. And it's simple: Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage begins the moment you purchase the ISOBAR6DBS, with no forms to fill out or send in. Additionally, this Tripp Lite Protect It! Surge Suppressor is backed by a lifetime product warranty and a rapid-response, no-questions-asked replacement policy that's unmatched in the industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Quality Product from Tripp Lite, May 12, 2009

This review is from: Tripp Lite ISOBAR6DBS 6-Outlet Isobar Premium Protector/Suppressor (2850 Joules, Tel/Coax) (Electronics)

There are a ton of surge protectors out on the market and most are less expensive than this one. There is the defining difference, cheaper in this case equals less well built, lower quality performance and questionable effectiveness in stopping your expensive stuff from getting zapped in an age of lousy power quality. Hook up your TV to a cable TV coax line thru a hardware store variety surge protector, and then hook it up thru an ISOBAR DBS and you can SEE THE DIFFERENCE in lower line loss and the resulting picture quality. I was amazed at how much signal drop the cheapies caused. You've spent big bucks for a good TV, then spend a little more to get the sharp picture you paid for! In addition, you get the guaranteed surge protection, with insurance, from Tripp Lite, in a heavy, well-built metal enclosure instead of a flimsy, plastic box.
Just another example of cheaper usualy means lower quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Offers Excellent Surge Suppression!, November 21, 2007

This review is from: Tripp Lite ISOBAR6DBS 6-Outlet Isobar Premium Protector/Suppressor (2850 Joules, Tel/Coax) (Electronics)

The Tripp Lite Isobar 6 DBS offers a complete range of power line surge suppression for up to six components, two coaxial line inputs and one Telco phone line input. A "protection present" LED indicates proper surge suppressor operation and a second LED, "line OK", indicates proper wall outlet wiring. An all-metal case offers maximum protection for the Isobar6DBS internal components. This unit is an excellent and reasonably priced surge suppressor offering home theater system owners the needed protection from power line surges that could lead to costly video and audio component damage. The Tripp Lite Isobar 6 DBS is also an excellent choice for stereo and home computer system protection.

5.0 out of 5 stars BSOD Cure, May 21, 2010

I read a comment on another site regarding BSOD and how they may be caused by electric surges coming into the computer from the wall outlet. I thought this was nuts, but I've tried everything else to cure BSOD that were occurring daily for no particular reason. That was four months ago. I haven't had one since I plugged the power supply and monitor into the Tripp Lite. Previously i was using a regular power strip. The Tripp Lite has an electric conditioning feature that evens out power sags as well as surges. I don't know why this would cause voltage problems in the PC, but knock on wood I haven't had so much as a single game or app crash either. So whether it's fairy dust or voodoo, I'm sold on Tripp Lite.
