TRIPP LITE 12-Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip 2160J

The TRIPP LITE TLP1208TEL is a 12-outlet home theater surge protector with 2160 joules of surge suppression, an 8-foot flat-plug cord, and RJ11 phone-line protection.

Designed for media centers, home offices, and workstations, the TLP1208TEL organizes power while guarding connected gear from voltage spikes and data-line surges. Its long, flat-plug extension cord lets furniture sit close to the wall, and the unit includes phone-line protection and space for transformer-style adapters so you can plug in large power bricks without losing neighboring outlets.

How does this surge protector protect my home theater or office equipment?

The unit provides 2160 joules of surge absorption to redirect damaging voltage spikes away from connected devices, and the RJ11 ports shield a single phone/DSL line. Built-in diagnostic LEDs show whether the strip is grounded and providing surge protection, while the 15A circuit breaker helps prevent overloads.
