Tripp Lite TLP6B 6-Outlet Surge Protector

Tripp-Lite-TLP6B-6-Outlet-Surge-Protector-product

DESCRIPTION

The Tripp Lite TLP6B 6-Outlet Surge Protector is a dependable solution for safeguarding electronic devices from unforeseen surges and spikes, boasting a surge protection rating of 360 joules. With six versatile outlets, including one accommodating bulky transformers, this surge protector ensures comprehensive defense for all three wires in residential power outlets. Its design covers both full normal mode (H-N) and common mode (N-G/H-G), effectively filtering out electromagnetic and radio frequency interference that may disrupt electronic devices. Equipped with a 15A circuit breaker for overload protection and a lighted on/off switch for convenient control, the surge protector offers flexibility with a 6-foot AC power cord featuring a NEMA 5-15P plug. The inclusion of keyhole mounting slots allows for effortless wall or desk placement. Certified to meet rigorous UL standards, this surge protector is suitable for home and office electronics, providing premium protection, and is backed by Tripp Lite’s renowned quality. Additionally, it comes with a lifetime warranty and dollar 10,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance for added peace of mind.

Perfect for your home or office workstation, the TLP6B Protect It!® 6-Outlet Surge Protector features a surge protection rating of 360 joules to defend your sensitive electronic components against surges and spikes.
Because residential power outlets have three wires—hot line (H), neutral (N), and ground (G)—the TLP6B protects all three, covering the two protection modes: full normal mode (H-N) and common mode (N-G/H-G). It also filters out electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) that can disrupt your electronics and inflict hardware damage or data loss.
Your devices plug into six NEMA 5-15R outlets, one of which is placed at the end to accept a bulky transformer without blocking adjacent outlets. An integrated 15A circuit breaker protects all outlets and shuts down connected equipment in case of overload. The lighted on/off switch provides one-touch control over connected equipment. A diagnostic LED confirms your connected equipment is protected.
The six-foot (1.8-meter) AC power cord with NEMA 5-15P plug reaches nearby outlets to fit easily into your workstation or home theater setup. Keyhole slots incorporated into the bottom panel provide convenient wall or desk mounting options for the black plastic housing.
