Is this power strip really a line conditioner also ?

I can't attest to what is actually in it however I use it to run 4 600 watt amps and an electronic cross over for our church and it has zero noise in it. I am not a Monster cable fan but for this price this has been a very good buy for me.

sorry i took so longer to answer but it looks like it is not really a line conditioner, you should check with Monster Cable to make sure

I just used it for hair dryer and it was fine their electricity is more powerful than here so wouldn't like to say about a strip!

No their is not. It doesn't matter what wattage the device you wish to use as the main (as long as it's not something crazy ie high powered tools, generators etc that will fry the power strip) when you that device is turn the internal circuitry of the power strip will send a response to the other outlets telling them to turn on. If a some or all of your device are not turning on/off at the same time their is a small knob on the side of the strip where you can adjust + or - to make them all work. Most of the time you do not need to touch this as it's very sensitive to adjustments you make.

Yeah. This device is exactly like a old school power strip. The difference is it gives clean, protected power. They are specially circuited to provide even, low noise, "conditioned" power. Better applications would be for sound equipment as you are more concerned with "clean" power in this scenario. But certianly works like any other power strip as far as what you can plug into it

No, because the power strip would degrade the the powerline unit's transmission between your computer and the device connected to the other powerline unit. On the other hand, you can install an ethernet cable between the powerline adapter and a UPS unit equipped with ethernet sockets (not a power strip) and then another ethernet cable between the UPS unit and your computer (or switch) if you want to protect against power surges.

As mentioned by other commenters all you need is an adapter to make the strip function. But to clarify, if something you plug into the strip can't handle the higher voltages in some countries those devices would need a converter/transformer. Most modern electronics support the higher voltages (read the labeling on power adapter) but items such as hair dryers usually do not.

Usually a power strip has an on/off switch onboard, but if yours does not, then sure, plug it in to the conserve power switch, and switch the whole thing on and off at once! Works great and has a little green light in the switch to remind you that it's on.

Honestly I don't even know. I cannot get 3 of the outlets on one side of the plug in to work at all. I am actually looking for a replacement for this power strip at we speak. It looks like a nice one, but it really didn't meet my needs. I used it for my tv, wireless router, printer, sound bar, PS3, DVR box and Modem. I cannot plug all those into this unit and expect them all to power up. I have to use a cheap Target plug in also.

This not something for "cleaning-up" power. By that I am guessing that you are talking about sags and surges. This is to protect against spikes, such as from a lightning hit. I believe some others have already responded with basically the same answer. --bill

Yes. Its one of those transformer/converter plug with a line that connects to the strip. Ready to go right out of the box.

That's correct. Powerline adapters generally need to be plugged directly into the wall to work well, and not into a surge protector or power strip. With that said, when plugged properly into the wall outlet - this unit performs amazingly well!

Doesn't matter as it gets its power from the line. Please make sure you don't exceed the voltage and wattage ratings

No its not my fellow Amazon shopper. It just indicates the presencce of power in a line it doesn't provide a screen where a circuit can be measured or indicate a change in current in another circuit. Hope this helps.

I am using mine to protect a TV, so mine is lightly loaded. These line conditioners do not appear to be industrial type designs. My guess is that Tripp Lite stretches the ratings a little and rates them with straight resistive loads (like lights and heaters.) The AC is a largely inductive load, so when the AC compressor starts, there is a large in-rush current that rapidly drops back down. I suggest going bigger with the line conditioner is safer. Hope this helps.

Yes but you do not say is the output on your current transformer AC or DC. If DC then no this is AC to AC

I have used this unit with a power strip with no problem. However, since this unit uses 1.2 amp of power,the power strip has to be rated for 1.2 amp or more.

Power isn't as big a problem as the voltage drop. By the end of the strip, you may only be getting 10v, for example. You should measure it.
