GE TL96580 Phone Line Cord (25 ft, Black, 4-conductor) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I connected GE cord and received complaints about static on the call. Once I replaced the GE cord with another, the complaints stopped. I would have expected quality control tests before packaging and releasing the cord from production.

Kensington 62635F SmartSockets Portable Surge Protector with Built In Phone Line Splitter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Years ago you could buy cheap, stand-alone surge protectors for your modem. Those days are long gone and now they try to get you to buy expense equipment that *includes* the surge suppressor. I've blown out a lot of suppressors over the years and that is all I want, in the cheapest package possible.
While I don't need the AC filter features that this unit offers, this *is* the cheapest thing that fulfills my needs. Buy several at one time to reduce the shipping costs per unit and these units are a steal.

Sanus Systems ELM202-B1 6-Outlet Low-Profile Surge Protector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This thing is incredibly flat, it basically disappears behind a mounted TV. I hardly even notice it when I walk by my mounted TV. This is the best surge protector to use if you want to mount your TV on a wall.

CyberPower CPS500NBP Notebook Surge Suppressor - 500 Joules 2&3 Prong RJ11/RJ45 EMI/RFI Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used this product for the past two years in Sierra Leone and other parts of West Africa. Since there is virtually no electricity in Sierra Leone, power is produced by generators which are notoriously unstable: several laptops and other pieces of equipment in my office were ruined by surges, including one laptop whose power box actually blew up (sending pieces to all four corners of the room!) and a printer that spewed sparks during the surge. With the CyberPower, my laptop never had a problem!

Leviton 47605-28W SMC Structured Media Enclosure with Cover, 28-Inch, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like most others have found in renovating an older home, the myriad of wiring in this house looked like a circus act gone bad. The timing could not have been better when given the opportunity to test the Leviton 47605 Media Box. Here are my thoughts.
Out of the box, I noticed immediately that this unit's interior is prime time 20 gauge steel. The screw mounted cover is 18 gauge steel. Weighing in at 17lbs its not one of those light weight knock offs by any means. It measures in at 29.32"H x 15.62"W x 3.68"D. I like the fact that it can be surface mounted or installed in a recessed cutout. I like the mounted tab feature. The tabs prevent the unit from falling through the studs during installation. There are multiple knockouts on both top and bottom for easy cable routing. The cutout in the base allows for mounting single and double J boxes and power modules.
As others know from working in older properties, installation is not going to be a one and done thing. Its all about location, location and location. Another is having the right tools for the job. The plastic punch down tool that comes with the box isn't going to make the job easier. Besides a drill or saw (depending on your choice of mounting) a wire stripper, plugs, punchdown tool, crimper and cable tester are needed. Once I found the spot, it easily installs with a nice clean fit into the drywall. Running Cat6 lines throughout an older home had its usual hiccups but in the end it was great to have one central organized point of distribution. After all is done, one thing is obvious. This unit is roomy.
If there was an improvement to made on the Leviton 47605 Media Box it would be to option for a hinged cover vice the screw mounted variety. Other then that Leviton is a name to remember when it comes to quality home and office installations. This box will last a lifetime.

Belkin F9H601aCW Wall Mount Surge Protector (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, I talked to an electrician about this and I realized that it does not really matter if the mount is drawing power from two inputs or one input, as the two plug points that we see on the faceplate 'often' on the same circuit and same switch.
There are instances however (one I know for sure exists in my home) where two plug points are on different circuits and one of them is controlled by switch and one is not and always hot.
So, I have decided to keep this and NOT return any more.
Still, due to poor documentation and lack of picture showing from the backside, I drop a star.
----------- Old review ------------
Watchout this does not accept two inputs even though it takes all the space.
The documentation never claimed any where that it is doing so. But one would think that it is taking input from both plug points that it covers to give you 6 outputs.
I wish they make it clear to the buyers by showing the picture from the other side as well.
Other similar product which I do not remember where I bought it, accepts both inputs and each one covers 3 on each side. I am planning to use ALL 6 inputs all the time. So, not sure what difference it would make to have all 6 plugged to one input versus 3 each on to each one of the inputs.
But now I am returning this product. I wish they make it clear to us before we buy it and go through the hassle of returning it.

Tripp Lite Network Dataline DTEL2 2-Line RJ11 RJ45 Protector Modem/Fax/Tel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought two, one to protect a modem and one to protect a DSL card. Some phone line surge protectors don't work DSL, they filter out the higher frequencies used by DSL. This is NOT the case with this surge protector, my DSL works just fine through it! If you want a high quality, professional grade phone line surge protector for a reasonable price, this is it!

Ge 26191 Duplex Wall Jack Adapter (White, 4-Conductor) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, the technical: This is a Y or T device. It connects 4 pins (red, green, black, yellow) to two sets of 4 pins (the standard 4 center pins of a 6-pin RJ11 jack). Thus, you can use this for two-lines. It is NOT a splitter. There are other products which will split the 4 wires of the plug into two separate, 2-line sockets, typically marked L1 and L2. This is NOT one of those. Both devices plugged into it will get the SAME 4 wires (2-lines).
Next, the construction: It is a quite cheap, made-in-China product. It feels cheap and has some bits of corrosion on the (brass plated-looking) contacts. Not impressive. It compares to others at local electronics stores that sell for 99 cents. The ones at local stores were, for me, beige. I have white outlets, white jacks, white phones, etc., and I didn't want a goofy beige adapter. So, I bought a few of thes GE ones from Amazon which are WHITE.
Finally, the rating. Considering the cheap construction and price premium for a different color, I cannot give it 5 stars.

Belkin 6-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector with 4' Cord Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This surge protector is compact and comes with only a 4' cord, which makes it handy for me to use in the kitchen (I don't need or want a long cord, and keep the cord coiled up). This protects my coffee maker, toaster oven, and can opener. It stays flush against the wall in back of these items and out of sight.
Note: This unit does not have an on/off signal light. However, the bottom of the unit does have an on/off switch--which I did not know about when the unit arrived. Since the unit ships with the switch in the off position, at first I thought the unit was defective when nothing went on until I discovered the on/off switch (another reviewer had the same experience). Make sure you turn the switch to the on position. You won't see any signal light, but whatever you plug into the unit should come on.
This is an inexpensive but well made surge protector suitable for relatively inexpensive small items. I would not trust my computer, television or stereo system on this. But for my kitchen appliances it is great.

Belkin 6-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I work in the IT industry, so every time people move offices they come to me for a power strip. I buy these power strips regularly because:
1. They have seemed to protect adequately for surges
2. They are very compact
3. They are cheap!!!!
4. The big one-- the power switch is on the side where the power cable exits the strip. This has a big advantage.
You'd be amazed how many times people, cleaning crews or others accidentally flip the power switch on a power strip that may be under the edge of a desk or in an area that can get bumped but isn't easily seen. That also causes problems because people don't understand why their stuff isn't working. Having the switch on the side dramatically reduces the frequency with which I get calls because "stuff stopped working"... No one ever expects the simple answer and always assume a device has gone bad, etc.
The color fits in with your average office creme color, and unless you are going to get a power squid or UPS I wouldn't spend more on a power strip than the cost of this.
