Amazon.com Product Description
This Belkin SurgeMaster Maximum Series surge protector shields such equipment as computers, peripherals, home theater components, and AV devices from damage caused by electrical swells. The model boasts an impressive 2,655-joule energy rating (with a maximum spike amperage of 135,000 amps), along with nine outlets that supply complete three-line AC surge protection. As an add-on, the unit also safeguards your modem, phone, and DSL lines thanks to its solid-state phone input, in addition to protecting your cable modem and digital satellite system through its coaxial cable line and ceramic arrestor. Additional features include sliding safety covers on all nine outlets, a spoiler cord system that keeps power cords from crossing and cluttering, AC block space outlets that provide room for oversized block-style plugs, and illuminated LEDs that indicate when electric devices are ground and protected. In addition, the SurgeMaster employs an EM and RF filter, which reduces up to 70 dB of background noise and static. The resulting signal ensures clean, crisp audio/video performance whether you're watching a movie or listening to your favorite songs. Users should have no problem finding a spot for the SurgeMaster thanks to its right-angle plug, which connects snugly against a wall and behind a couch or chair without causing problems. The surge protector is also outfitted with a 14-gauge heavy-duty power cord that measures a robust 8-feet long. As a final enticement, Belkin has included a lifetime $250,000 connected-equipment warranty.

Great Product at the Right Price March 28, 2005

The Belkin SurgeMaster is great for the price. The price much better than what you will find at the store.
KEY ITEMS I discovered in searching for a new surge protector:
*** Faster response time is more critical than number of joules.
*** All you want is for your unit to be disconnected from the harmful surge.
Therefore don't waste your money in over-extending your coverage of Joules. The Belkin SurgeMaster will provide adequate coverage with similar technology.
Now...as an alternative...I have owned the Power Sentry's Power Blocker II (asin b0006hvigc) for a year and it has a faster response time. I am using that for my entertainment center which has more sensitive and large dollar equipment which I need to protect (don't waste your money on Monster products).
What follows is info I received from Power Sentry...which is owned by Fiskars:
The amount of transient (lightning) joules the Power Blocker II can absorb is about 900 joules. This number does not take into account the amount of joules that the Power Blocker II (PB2) switch is eliminating. The response time of the MOV components (the 900 joules part) is < 1 nanosecond. The response time of the PB2 switch is about 2 milliseconds. The way the Power Blocker II works is that the MOVs will clamp first and if the surge is of long duration, > 2 milliseconds, the PB2 switch will open and disconnect all possible electrical output paths. The way other surge protectors work is that the MOVs will clamp, and if the surge is of long duration, the MOVs will heat up and burnout a thermal sensitive fuse placed beside the MOVs. The heating and burnout time of the fuse is > 2 seconds, typically about 10-30 seconds.
Other surge protectors attempt to absorb all of the surge energy entering the protector even though it may be excessive and cause MOV degradation. The Power Blocker II detects when surge energy reaches a damaging level and disconnects all MOVs and equipment connections, thus interrupting the surge. Therefore its MOVs are much less likely to suffer degradation or "wear out". Because of this rapid disconnecting feature, which blocks any further surge energy, in effect the joules of energy attempting to enter the unit and equipment are unlimited because everything has been disconnected.
The MOVs are not degraded when the unit trips as described. Therefore the Power Blocker II should operate much longer than conventional surge protectors and will survive power company mistakes and wiring faults when others surge protectors will nearly always be destroyed. So far we have not received any Power Blocker II returns with a MOV failure.
 Great choice for most Home Theater applications. March 5, 2005

And the best price on the market.
I had almost given up on my TV after replacing/upgrading all my cables I still had a lot of interference and less than ideal picture. The only thing remaining to replace was a Proxima surge suppresor. I was amazed after I hooked up this Belkin Maximum unit.
Not only did it completely fix the problem with the DSS/DVD/VCR signal, it also eliminated the contstant "hum" from my amplifier, and the audio is much sharper and cleaner. With EMI/RFI noise suppression up to 70db, I/O for coax cable/Satellite and phone line with 9 plugs, 3 spaced to accomodate brick type AC adapters, this SurgeMaster unit is an essential piece of gear for Home Theater setups with up to 36" TVs. Belkin even provides 6' phone and heavy duty coax patch cables to complete the job.
Forget Monster, there is no way their surge protectors outperform Belkin's product line at double and triple the price. Buy this unit before you even consider upgrading your equipment/cables. I wish I had, but I now have a nice collection of cables laying on my living room floor to remind me that sometimes the best solution is the simplest. BTW, I paid $40 for this unit at a local retailer. $20 is a steal.
This could have saved me a lot of time. June 18, 2004

Lightening struck a pole near my house last week. My wireless router, NIC card, and cable modem were fried. Had I bought this before hand, I would have saved $80 and a week of frustration. I chose this surge protector because of the coax protection. What is the use of putting your equipment on a surge protector if the zap can come right though the cable line. I also bought a couple with out the coax protection for the other equipment in the house (telephone, Fax, radio, etc...) and I plan on getting another to protect my TV.
Great investment October 8, 2006

I have several of these units, and so far, they have served us very well. There has been a blackout and surges since I have owned them, and there has been no problem with any of the appliances attached, to date. Let's hope things stay that way.

Needless to say this surge protector is far better than I have seen so far, Belkin a good name and I love how you can plug big item cords in the outlets with enough space to add more! Great fantastic
