TRIPP LITE Surge Protector Power Strip 12-Outlet 2160J

The TRIPP LITE TLP1208TELTV is a 12-outlet home theater surge protector with 2160 joules of surge suppression, coax and RJ11 protection, and an 8-foot flat-plug cord for flexible placement.

This power strip is designed to safeguard TVs, set-top boxes, modems, routers and phones from transient voltage spikes while keeping a full complement of outlets available for home theater systems. It balances robust electrical protection with practical installation features — a long, low-profile cord, multiple outlets that accommodate bulky transformers, and diagnostic LEDs so you can verify protection and grounding at a glance.

How does this surge protector defend my TV and router from surges?

The TLP1208TELTV redirects harmful voltage spikes away from connected equipment using a 2160 joule suppression rating, and includes built-in protection for data lines. Coaxial and RJ11 connectors guard cable and phone lines, limiting ‘backdoor’ surge paths that can damage sensitive devices.

• 2160 joules of surge energy absorption
• Coaxial in/out ports for cable or satellite lines
• RJ11 phone protection for landline/modem connections
• Diagnostic LEDs indicate protection and grounding status

Will it fit behind entertainment furniture and accept bulky plugs?

Yes — the unit uses a flat plug and an 8-foot extension cord to let furniture sit flush against walls while providing flexible placement. Four outlets are spaced specifically to accept large transformer bricks without blocking neighboring sockets, preserving usable space for other components.

• Space-saving flat plug for close-to-wall placement
• 8-foot cord for flexible outlet reach
• Four widely spaced transformer-friendly outlets
• Keyhole slots for wall or desk mounting

How easy is it to install and maintain in a home theater setup?
