Can I plug this into a surge protector that has room for 6 devices?

Hello. I think you should be able to, but it takes up a little bit more space than a typical plug in, so just keep that in mind. Hope this info helps.

Yes I have a surge protector power strip for each of the adapters to plug into and the power strip is plugged into the wall.

Yes, you will still need to have a surge protector and you cannot incorporate one into the unit itself. Not with the way it is currently designed.

I'm no expert, but from what i know about electronics you would need the same gauge wire in the extension cord as the surge protector. It has an 8ft cord if that helps. So yes you could but not a cheap one with multiple outlets. The brown ones come to mind I wouldn't trust that kind.

Yes. There are receptacles for four, maybe five, I forget how many that provide power to devices that are plugged in. There are several additional receptacles that provide surge protection, but not back-up power. You must not overload the UPS, though. It will handle a computer and monitor and router, for example. Or a TV, stereo and another device or two. But do not plug in a laser printer, or a Hoover, or a washing machine. But, to answer your question: if your house power goes off, your connected devices will continue to run for several minutes, maybe a half hour, depending on how many you have connected and how much current they draw. And the correct spelling is straight, not strait.

Yes, just flip it over and grasping the opening with your thumbs, you should be easily able to fit a surge protector cord in the opening. I am very happy with mine. Hope this helps.

I made some search and find an article which might answer your question. I hope it helps! http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-surge-protector/

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

Yes you can use all 6 extensions in a power strip such as the Koppla. One in each outlet if desired. You can also plug them into each other if needed.

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.

It may depend on how your outlet is configured. All of my outlets are horizontal with the two prong and ground holes facing the same direction. I have the Surge Protector on the right side (maybe your top outlet), and there is enough room for another three prong (grounded) plug to fit in the left side (maybe your bottom outlet). In your scenario, this is assuming that the third prong (grounded) hole is on the bottom for each outlet. Now if you are only plugging in a two prong in the other outlet, this appears to be a non-issue. Hope this helps!

You could use a USB Expander/Hub, it is basically like a surge protector for USB Ports. You plug it into 1 USB port and then it gives you 4, so you gain 3 ports in total. There are other models, shop around Sabrent 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Individual Power Switches and LEDs (HB-UMLS)

I don't know, I use it with items plugged into all 3 regular outlets, but not with the USB plugs in use. It should work OK, it's made to be used that way.

I'm able to plug in a three prong (grounded extension cord) in the other outlet. It's a tight fit.

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.

You could tie it into a 240VAC circuit breaker that is already n use. Anything on the line should be protected but may get more surge than one of the other lines. I have mine on a separate breaker and the breaker blew when the surge hit so there might be some backlash from the surge protector. Idea;y i would put in another circuit breaker, but piggy-backing on an existing line would definitely be better than not having the surge protector at all.

Yes you can plug more than one thing into a single Belkin WeMo, using a multiplug as you say. They'll all go on/off together, of course.
