Versatile Protection for All Electronics

The TLP810SAT offers cost-effective surge protection and performance enhancement for A/V components, PCs, peripheral devices and all electronics. It provides 8 AC outlets, including 3 widely spaced outlets that accommodate bulky transformers without blocking other outlets. A 10-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.

Protection for Every Connection

Phone and coaxial connections represent a potential back door through which a damaging surge could reach your equipment. The TLP810SAT 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 prevent surges from damaging your cable/satellite equipment (digital broadband quality accommodates 2.2GHz bandwidth; 2 x 6-ft. coax cables included). Two-line coax protection enables you to safeguard both a cable and a satellite connection with one surge suppressor.

Protection for Every Connection

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 audio/video performance problems. The TLP810SAT incorporates technology that filters out disruptive line noise, preventing it from affecting your equipment, and helping to assure peak audio and video performance.

Powerful AC Line Surge Suppression

The TLP810SAT features the highest surge protection rating in its class—3240 joules of surge suppression to prevent even the strongest surges from damaging your valuable electronics. Includes full normal mode (H-N) and common mode (N-G/H-G) line surge suppression.

Built-In Diagnostic and Alarm Capabilities

Built-In Diagnostic and Alarm Capabilities

Two diagnostic LEDs (GROUNDED & PROTECTED) show power and protection status, enabling you to recognize power problems before they affect your valuable equipment. The GROUNDED LED verifies that the TLP810SAT is connected to a properly grounded wall outlet. The PROTECTED LED indicates that surge protection is available. If this PROTECTED LED ever goes out, simply return the TLP810SAT to Tripp Lite for a free replacement. Additionally, an audible alarm will sound if surge protection circuitry suffers fails—perfect for installations where the LEDs are not visible. An illuminated master switch provides one-touch power control over all components.

Ultimate Peace of Mind

The TLP810SAT 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 TLP810SAT, 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 Plugs and Features are What Made Me Buy This, July 31, 2009

This review is from: Tripp Lite TLP810SAT 8-Outlet Surge Protector (3240 Joules, Tel/DSL/Coax) (Electronics)

First off, I can't say anything about the ability of this device to protect against surges b/c I haven't done any tests on it. However, if you believe the specs (and it seems like the Tripp Lite ones are more honest and thorough than most other brands), it provides a good deal of protection for a surge protector/suppressor in this price range.

I chose this particular model because of the many positive reviews on other models. My first and only experience with Tripp Lite was back in 2000. The surge protector worked well and provided a good user experience in that it's fairly easy to push the plugs in and pull them out and has 3 useful indicator lights. Also, the plastic has a good feel to it. I'm still using it today. I'm glad to see the reviews for Tripp Lite's other products are generally good. Also, if you spend as much time as I did, the positive reviews seem to be based more off of substance/experience than just subjective guesses.

Well, my next step was to look up the specs. The Tripp Lite website was very thorough. At one point, I was down to three Belkin surge protectors and 3 Tripp Lite ones. The Tripp LIte website had all the technical info I was looking for while the Belkin website was lacking in specification details. Go read up on what's important when looking to buy a surge protector (e.g., energy absorption; clamping voltage; response time, etc.) and you'll care more about the specs. Amazon's product descriptions lack these details and that's okay, but it's not okay for the mfr's website to lack this detail. So, I decided to go with the Tripp LIte products. Oh, Tripp Lite keeps advertising the # of transformers. It does matter b/c in some other brands/models, some plugs are disabled and will not allow for use of all the plugs. Read some of the bad reviews on the other products if you don't believe me.

Now it's time to choose the model I want. Originally, I was going to go with the Tripp Lite TLP810SAT's sister product that comes with an ethernet line connector instead of the coaxial connector. However, once I figured out that I'll never use ethernet surge suppression b/c this is for residential use and that I have FiOS, which uses a coaxial cable connection, I decided to go with this model. Also, don't be misled that all coaxial cable connections are the same. Only one set of coaxial cable connections on this surge protector is specifically designed for high bandwidth broadband use (see the Tripp Lite website and compare the specs for different models). If I only had cable internet, I wouldn't have cared so much, but because I have a FiOS connection, I decided not to take the chance. Also, for a few dollars more than the other version, I don't see any reason to pass up on this model. Finally, if I did end up having FiOS and some other connection that requires a coaxial cable, I'm all set. So, I rather pay a little more for this model than the other model that has an ethernet connection that I'll never use.

Now for the negative. The packaging had a little wrinkling in it, while the box it shipped in was okay. Also, there's no way to tell if this thing is new or used b/c the packaging is not sealed. One or two of the plug covers were in the open position as well. It's annoying that I don't know for sure if I received a brand new product, but it does have a lifetime warranty, so it's not really a big concern. Overall, I'm fine with this product.

UPDATE JAN 2012: I'm not sure when the change happened, but Tripp Lite's website now says that both sets of coaxial plugs are now "2 Sets 2.2GHz gold coax jacks" and "2 line (2.2 GHz Bandwidth)". It's implied in the Amazon manufacturer description as well. Looks like they either upgraded the other set of coax jacks or found out that it is good enough to meet the 2.2 GHz bandwidth advertisement. Note that in the version I bought, one set of coaxial plugs is labeled "DSS Protection" while the other set is "Cable/Antenna Protection". Note that I bought my first one of these in mid-2009 and a second one in April 2010. Both are still working well and so is the other Tripp Lite model I bought in 2000.

When it comes to outlet taps and surge protectors, you get what you pay for. Pay a little extra and get a good one (like this one). This is a very good unit for the money and should give many years of service and protection. I don't regret buying it, and I spent a great deal of time researching these types of units.

Have a 42" Plasma, DVD Player, VCR, DVR, Powered Surround Subwoofer & PC plugged into this thing and have had several power surges since I started using it and have experienced ZERO damage to any of my equiptment. It is well built with solid construction and the layout allows plenty of space for oversized power adapters.
