PRODUCT

DESCRIPTION

The Tripp Lite ISOBAR8ULTRA Isobar 8-Outlet Surge Protector is an advanced solution designed to protect sensitive electronic devices effectively. With a sleek light gray color and sturdy metal housing, this surge protector delivers unmatched defense against power surges and disruptive line noise. It features eight NEMA 5-15R outlets arranged in four isolated filter banks, preventing system crashes and performance issues that often occur during the power cycling of peripherals. The surge suppression circuits are robust, surpassing IEEE 587 Category A & B specifications, providing a high surge protection rating of 3840 joules/97,000 Amps for top-tier network-grade protection. Certified to stringent UL standards for safety, the surge protector includes diagnostic LEDs for real-time status updates on power availability, line faults, and protection. Equipped with a 12-foot AC input cord, a right-angle plug, keyhole mounting slots, and child safety covers, the ISOBAR8ULTRA is a versatile and dependable choice for safeguarding various home and office electronics, including computers, monitors, printers, routers, and televisions. Tripp Lite’s unwavering commitment to quality makes it a wise selection for the protection of valuable equipment.

Premium protection for essential network workstations, telecom systems, point-of-sale equipment, and audio/video systems, the ISOBAR8ULTRA Isobar® 8-Outlet Surge Protector features a network-grade surge protection rating of 3840 joules to defend your sensitive electronics against even the strongest surges and spikes.
Because residential power outlets have three wires—hot line (H), neutral (N) and ground (G)—the ISOBAR8ULTRA protects all three, covering the two protection modes: full normal mode (H-N) and common mode (N-G/H-G).
Your devices plug into eight widely spaced NEMA 5-15R outlets, which are arranged in four exclusive isolated filter banks. These internal barriers filter out electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) that can disrupt your electronics and inflict hardware damage or data loss. Included safety covers block accidental contact with unused outlets. An integrated 12A 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. Diagnostic LEDs confirm power, protection and line fault status. The 12-foot (3.7-meter) AC power cord includes a space-saving right-angle NEMA 5-15P plug.
