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 this is just an extension to the line in the wall. The current still has to go through anything that comes after it including the surge protector.

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

Most likely because the typical 120 volt home wall outlet that you would be plugging the surge protector into, is only rated foe 15 amps

I was wondering this myself. Looking at the Panamax website it says it is meant to be used with the MFP-500-EX, which seems to be a 15A surge protector. I'd assume it can handle that much or a bit less. The other floor surge protectors they have are only 12A. If you want to be careful, don't push 12A.

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.

If you notice on the description, they sort of "hide" the full details of most items, if you click the link just below it that says to view more, this surge protector claims to carry-through 1800W. I can't verify this since I have picked up my own, but maybe someone else who's purchased it can.

These aren't surge protectors I don't believe. Plus, I've had two sets now and both stopped working within a couple months, so I wouldn't trust them anyway.

No, that is not the purpose of this unit. This is a power conditioned, a glorified surge protector, not a charger.

no, this is not a surge protector. It is used to completely cut power to any appliance is that it is plugged into. for instance, I use this on my toaster oven which stays plugged into the wall always, and always draws trickle electricity. with the Belkin switch I only need to turn it off when I'm not using it turn it back on when I want to use it, thereby saving energy.

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

I have opened this item up and there is nothing internal that suggests that it has a capability to be a "surge" protector. If you need a real "actual" surge protector unit; then purchase one that has that one specific design to it. Don't expect a power strip to have this function you are looking for. (Oh, by the way I am an Electrical Engineer with over 40 years experience)

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).

Mine is on as well. I expect Steakman is correct and this just means surge protection is active.

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

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.

That is a power switch. As far as I know it offers no protection from a power surge.
