Does this surge protector offer outlets for DSL/telephone line protection?

It has telephone and data jack protection ports. I'm not sure if the protector will strip off the DSL. Most likely it won't.

Yes. In the middle of the Surge Protector you'll notice four black hole areas. Two are for phone protection and the other two are network cable protection. :)

Yes The two smaller phone jacks are marked in and out. Network connections also marked in and out.

Instructions state "must be plugged into wall receptacle". I guess the surge protector might reduce the signal?. My desktop and modem are upstairs.I'm using this to improve signal to a "smart" DVD player that is downstairs. Works as advertised.

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.

Yep, it's supposed to do. See the details pane: 2160 Joules of protection *7 surge-protected AC outlets

No.Even if you would modify this unit to fit (NOT recommended) it would not protect anything because there would be no ground on the unit. And even if you modify your outlets, AGAIN, it would NOT protect the equipment because there is NO GROUND connected. Why not purchase a cheaper unit that just distributes electricity but does not protect from surges.

You can plug your phone, cable and powered devices into this for full surge protection. It does not slow your speed or affect your devices in any way. The surge protection is a passive device and has no effect on the equipment. If your're using DSL then plug the phone line coming into the house into this device first then use the supplied cable to continue the connection to your modem. If you have a surge in the power or a possible lightning strike near the house then this device kicks in to absorb the extra energy. This may not protect a direct lightning strike so I also use a Supco SCM150 Surge Protector on the main breaker box of the house as added protection.

i don't think it is a surge protector. it does act like a circuit breaker and shuts off when it gets too hot. you'd really need to ask the manufacturer about surge protection.

Looking at the description, it says it's a surge protectory. However, I was only using it for the adaptor issues.

I think the surge protection would apply to all outlet including the USB. I use one of the USB port for a MagicJack Plus and it works fine although it sticks out of the wall a little bit.

No. unless that outlet controlled other outlets that should be gfi protected such as ones close to water like the sink

It is a 3 prong connection. Plugging into a 2 prong adapter may defeat the purpose of the surge protection

No idea what this question has to do with the product, but, yes, to function properly a surge protector needs to be plugged into a grounded outlet (hence the three prong plug).

The product website states it's not a surge protector http://www.monsterproducts.com/Outlets_To_Go_Power_Strip_4_Outlets#productDetailsTabs2

It does not need a surge protector and just plugs into a 110 volt electric socket. But overseas outlets may be different and require an adapter. Need to research wherever you are going to be.

I don't believe it has a built in surge protection. My Belkin has always been plugged into a UPS (uninterruptable power source) with surge protection.

The surge protector is on in case of a power surge to protect your electrical appliances from shorting out

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.
