Tripp Lite ISOBAR6ULTRA Surge Protector: Exclusive Isobar Technology for Premium Protection

The ISOBAR6ULTRA provides 3330 joules of surge protection for connected equipment. (More joules = more protection.) Tripp Lite's exclusive Isobar surge suppression technology, combined with a nearly indestructible metal case, stops even the strongest surges before they can damage or destroy sensitive equipment. The ISOBAR6ULTRA also features unique isolated filter banks that block disruptive EMI/RFI line noise interference and prevent mutual interference between connected components. These premium features make the ISOBAR6ULTRA ideal for a wide range of applications, from data centers to desktop computer systems.

The ISOBAR6ULTRA provides 6 AC outlets arranged in 3 isolated filter banks (2 per bank). Outlets are widely spaced to accommodate up to 3 large transformers without blocking remaining outlets. Diagnostic LEDs confirm power availability, line fault and surge protection status at a glance. The ISOBAR6ULTRA features a 6-ft. foot power cord with space-saving right-angle plug, keyhole mounting tabs and a set of 4 covers to safeguard unused outlets. The ISOBAR6ULTRA comes with $50,000 Ultimate Lifetime connected equipment insurance (USA/Canada only) and a lifetime manufacturer's product warranty.

Powerful Surge Protection and Performance Enhancement

More joules mean more protection. The ISOBAR6ULTRA's 3330-joule surge suppression rating, Isobar surge protection technology and rugged all-metal housing shield connected equipment from even the strongest surges. EMI/RFI line noise filtering helps components perform at their peak. Line noise filtering eliminates performance problems that can be caused by radio transmissions, fluorescent lighting and appliances, while promoting longer component life spans.

Isobar's robust surge-blocking architecture provides the highest level of protection available. View larger

Exclusive Isolated Filter Banks

Devices connected to the same surge suppressor can interfere with one another's performance—for instance when household appliances (blenders, refrigerators, fans) degrades TV picture and sound quality. The Isobar is the only surge suppressor with internal barriers (called isolated filter banks) that prevent disruptive line noise 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 computers and sensitive A/V components.

Built-In Diagnostic LEDs

The ISOBAR6ULTRA features 3 diagnostic LEDs (LINE OK, GROUND OK & SURGE OK) that show power and protection status at a glance.

Versatile Installation Options

The ISOBAR6ULTRA features a 6-ft. cord to reach distant outlets. A space-saving right-angle plug allows office furniture, cabinets, etc. to be placed flush against the wall. The ISOBAR6ULTRA's rugged all-metal case stands up to harsh environments such as warehouses, garages and factory floors. The case is equipped with keyhole mounting tabs to facilitate permanent installation on or under counters and worktables, on walls, etc. Included outlet covers (set of four) may be used to safeguard unused outlets.

Ultimate Peace of Mind

The ISOBAR6ULTRA comes with $50,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage for connected equipment—guaranteed lifetime protection against damage due to surges, including direct lightning strikes (USA/Canada only). Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage begins the moment you purchase your Tripp Lite surge suppressor—no forms to fill out or send in. Additionally, all Tripp Lire surge suppressors are backed by a lifetime product warranty and a rapid-response, no-questions-asked replacement policy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved all my equipment when others didn't, July 10, 2003

This review is from: Tripp Lite ISOBAR6ULTRA 6 Outlet Isobar Premium Surge Protector (3330 Joules) (Electronics)

Cannot recommended Tripp-Lite enough. I had this Isobar Ultra filled with computer equipment. An electrician's company fed 220 volts into two house circuits. The equipment plugged into the Tripplites were fine. The electronics plugged into a cheaper strip all fried. $3,000 worth of damage. If I had spent the money on the TrippLite I would still have my 36" HDTV, DVD, and VCR.

Tripp lite's side fuse was popped and would not reset. Internally it was fried, smelled like it melted and something rattled inside. Contacted TrippLite and, no questions asked, they sent me a replacement--no fees. I had the tripplite for at least five years. The LifeTime warranty is real, don't forget that. And this unit is all metal housing. Heavy, solid, with mounting screw holes on the back. THe cable is thick and solid. It will tell you if the plug is ungrounded. The plugs are isolated to eliminate EMI noise from propigating from one plug to the next.

My ultra has a modem/phone pass thru on one side. I don't see that mentioned here.

This review is from: Tripp Lite ISOBAR6ULTRA 6 Outlet Isobar Premium Surge Protector (3330 Joules) (Electronics)

The Tripp Lite Isobar Ultra first drew my attention when I went to work for a local communications company. I noticed that in every one of our offices and in almost all of our customers' businesses, equipment was plugged into one of these puppies, from the smallest they offer to the largest. I have witnessed lightning storms that have literally blown sockets out of walls, and yet the equipment plugged into the Isobar has remained intact. Granted, some of the Isobars didn't fare as well as the equipment they protected, but they did their job.

Having witnessed the quality of this product, I trust it in my own home. Everything from my computer to my entertainment center to my paper shredder is attached to an Isobar Ultra. I highly recommend it for it's quality and performance.

I have these all over my studio. Some are over 10 years old and still work. I have tens of thousands of dollars in equipment plugged into some. From strobe packs to computers, monitors and printers. They're built like the proverbial brick s__thouse and I wouldn't consider another brand. Why mess with cheapies?
