I just want to make sure I am reading this right...this is strictly a surge protector and NOT an adaptor.

This is a power strip only, there is no surge suppressor related to this power strip. Fits American style wall plugs only.

I don't think so, I use it as an adapter. I don't think it has the ability to be a proper surge protector. That is an opinion not a fact.

This is a 110v power strip with surge protection configured so it folds up nice and tight to take traveling.

It does have a overload protector and reset button built into it. It includes a flat 3 pin US plug, approx 10 inch flat cable and then 4 x (2 on each side) 3 pin outlets. It is not a voltage adapter or converter or a foreign country plug adapter. The plug and sockets are all 3 pin US style.

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).

No, this is made for clamping to a desk. If you need one that sits on a flat surface, consider purchasing a normal non-desk mounted surge protector.

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.

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

This is a Power strip, not Surge protector, It has a power switch with a built in light on the switch.

I have not had a problem with this surge protector. I have all my computer equipment plugged into it.

Definitely a surge protector and is not MOV based, but a TVS diode surge protector. I find this type better for my Headphone amps. MOV based surge protectors seem to have a higher joule rating.

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.

This is a good surge protector. If it is good, use it and do not worry about the Belkin product.

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.

No, a surge protector should never be plugged into another surge protector.

I don't see why not. I have never seen a need to plug ours into a surge protector but go ahead if you feel a need to.

Yes, it has a surge protector, but I don't know if it's a new or old model.

Tripp Lite's website specs say: "UL1449 let through rating 400, 500, 500", so if my understanding of surge protector-related stuff is accurate, this little unit is probably not the best choice for sensitive and/or expensive electronics like computers, TVs, etc... I use mine for cordless phone charging bases and microwave ovens.

It has a low rating for surge protection so it has limited protection for a computer against lightning surges. I use a higher rated surge protector for expensive and sensitive electronics. This is OK for small appliances, etc.

I didn't have one. Sounds more like a power strip to me. I had the same equipment, each on its own adapter, outlet. I didn't have surge protection, it an was fine but could have been luck of the draw. If you want added peace of mind, then get it.
