Is this a surge protector or just the power strip? I need one that doesn't have surge protection.

Just a power strip. I needed it for the kitchen but didn't need 6 outlets or surge protector either. This is good quality and fit the bill for small areas.

No surge protection provided - simply an outlet strip. Small and convenient for travel.

The product description claims that the strip offers over-current protection, though I have not had any power surges that have tested the strip. I currently have it plugged into a surge protector and I am having no problems.

It is a surge protector. Best item I have ever purchased. I have given 6 to friends and family and they all love it.

This is a 110 volt power strip. It's for use in the US and cannot be used for 220/240 volt applications. This is a power strip, not a surge protector.

Hi Brad, this is a very simple type of protector; shuts off the power when ground faults are present. It offers offers 510 Joules of surge protection and will shut off the power at the pedestal when power is too high or low. Requires manual reset after a ground fault. I'm not sure if it will cut off power (you shouldn't be able to reset the protector) if the poles are improperly wired. I think it is a very inexpensive protection for 30 AMP service RVs. Tom

No surge protection, not really a power strip either, I DJ and use it to plug 4 lights into one plugged switch, so when I turn the switch It controls 4 lights at once. Hope this helps

I am not positive. I did not use a surge protector and this charger does not have one; however, I charged my cell phone and used it for my curling iron and everything seemed fine.

This is just a power strip or power "extender" if you will. They are super heavy-duty and work well. I plan on getting a bunch more later on.

Section 11 states that the product is protected against operational failure resulting from a power surge while properly connected to a surge protector. You may be required to provide your surge protector for examination. However...section 9, "WHAT IS NOT COVERED", states that improper electrical/power supply (as in, not using a surge protector), will not be covered. I'm sending you a short version of what I already sent to Amazon feedback, just in case. As I said, good luck!!

Yes, it is a surge protector. That is it's main purpose. I had a surge a few weeks ago at a campground and nothing was affected. It is worth the peace of mind.

looks after RF hum, but not really a surge protector. try one of the fur man products for that application. or trip lite works well too.

You CAN plug it into a basic extension cord, its how I have one of them ran actually. It CANNOT be a plugged into a surge protector or power strip. Most likely because of the extra components and electrical circuitry interfering with their signaling.

The photo makes it look like it is a surge protector outlet. However the one I received from Amazon only contained a regular outlet. I ended up swapping it for a low voltage stereo connector plate, so I didn't really examine regular outlet closely. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the question!It is not recommended to plug an extension cord or another power strip into a surge protector. It will still work, however the surge protection function will no longer work and your equipment will be at risk of surges.Globe Customer Appreciation Team

Yes. Its basically a plug with a on/off switch on the side. You could plug a surge protector into it but why not flip the surge protector switch off? According to the box its rated for 120v / 15A /60Hz /1800w so you just don't want to exceed that.

I do not know. I have a computer on mine. and the power surge protector underneath.

I have not experienced a surge while using it so far. I think in case of a surge it will cut power off automatically to protect the appliances connected to it. To reset, press the button on the side of one end of the power strip.
