I have frequent short power loss spikes on my 120v line. Will this unit respond fast enough to prevent me from having to reboot my modem?

This is the higher end of surge protectors that smooth out the short spikes in the power loss. I have them on every machine and modem in my building. Once the power was out and I was able to run my phone system on this for a few hours so we didn't miss calls. Highly recommend this system.

Yes, I have brownouts, surges and out right power outages. It buffers the power flow so you do not power directly from the line. I have my modem, PS4, NAS, and computer connected to the APC. Never had any of them go out during a power outage or surge.

No, it will cause the unit to short out, you will need to use a voltage converter

I have "whole-house" surge protection so I wasn't concerned with the capability of this unit. However, since you asked, I went back to the instructions that came with the unit. Under "Protections" it states: "USB circuits are equipped with over-load and short-circuit protections." That's it.

I would call tech support. Not great phone manners, but informative. I would highly recommend a surge protector. I replaced 4 circuit boards in 5 years. $$$

No. I use a hydroflash system to detect and control Insteon devices. We had a 20 hr power failure recently. I came right up when power is installed. Doesn't you controller have battery backup?

If Im not mistaken, the data link is just a pass-thru, so if you plug in GigE, then it should work at full speed. The big part of these are the 48VDC that it sends up the wire, and then you can choose via a switch on the "upper end" what you want your Vout to be. Awesome units, just dont plug the wall wart into the "upper" unit..... (also dont ask me how I know, and why I bought this one as a replacement.... lol) They SHOULD have made them have different barrel sizes for the power inject and take-off... Other than that (dont hook them up at o-dark-thirty out in the field when you cant read the small labeling), they work great, and seem to transfer enough power to run IP cams and such over 50+feet of CAT5e.

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

I have had several brief power outings at my house and I have not had to reload the settings. You can save a config file to your computer in case you need to restore it to make it easy.

I find the UPS or surge strip is usually my problem not the PC but either way it should help. I have my UPS plugged into one and that cleared up my main problem. Any type of surge protector appears to weaken the signal.

It will keep its settings in memory. We have a lot of power surges as well and have never had an issue to where we've had to reset it each time.

I have had no power outages, so I can"t answer this question. But I would think your settings would be unaffected.

I would suggest moving the modem to another room to get it on a different circuit. That's the cheapest way to fix this problem confidently.

"A nano second response time should kick in fast enough for most spikes" For more information take a look at this page scroll down for response timehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protector

It will BUT... This is a 12 volt relay, not 120 Volts that is standard in house wiring. You would need to use a 12V transformer (like a wall wart on most gizmos) to step the power down. Better to find one that is 120V, like the OMRON time delay relay, then it can be wired directly in without the transformer.

I cannot say for sure but I think that anytime the power is lost the units would shut off and would manually have to be turned on. To be sure I would call Manufacturer Sorry I couldn't help.

I just contacted Capstone and they say YES power failure feature will work if unit set to night light low or high setting.

I honestly don't know. I haven't had to do it. This thing has been great so far. It seems to have stabilized some of the surges I used to get. I had a Tripp Lite at one point and it was cutting out power by itself - basically doing the exact opposite of what I wanted it to do. I have no regrets so far with this purchase.
