What are the ethernet and coaxial ports on the surge protector for and how would you used them?

The The Ultimate AV Surge Protector features protection for coaxial and telephone cables to ensure your data connections are working at peak performance. One-in, one-out coaxial protection safeguards cable and satellite connections for clear picture and sound. One-in, two-out RJ11 telephone/fax protection ensures open and continuous phone-line connections.

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 specifically did not try to do this due to the nature of many surge protectors. Some help filter noise, and others may see this as a surge. No technical expertise behind my answer, just seemed I wanted the most direct connection possible to increase speeds.

Yes you will, but it is still readily accessible and the Unit comes with, in my case, a long enough cord to reach my surge protector. On my set up, because of the proximity to power, the unit is entirely invisible.

3-prong. Doubt you will be able to find a surge protector that is not a 3-prong. Any "jury rigged" connection would be dangerous. Find a person at your local hardware store who is knowledgeable about electrical connectors.

I would get a heavy duty surge protector for an air conditioner. I think this unit is best suited for small electronics.

A neat little surge protector, ideal for any appliance that has a computer control e.g. microwave, refrigerator/freezer, wine cooler, laptop, iPad, iPhone etc. Although my home is protected by an all-house electrical surge protection unit (we live in a very high lightning probability area), I have also used specialized surge protectors for TV and Audio equipment as well as Computers that are all connected to incoming cable installations. Don't forget the telephone as well. Belkin provide a similar device that will protect your incoming phone line.

The unit provides protection against electrical spikes and surges. Your problem is with the electrical utility provider could be a transformer issue

David, I will need to disagree with Chris on the surge protection issue. By my experience, I would say that a surge can cause damage to hardware up the CAT5/CAT6 line from the NETGEAR Powerline (The XAVB2501 to be exact). All of my equipment was surge protected except the XAVB2501 as it was recommended not to use surge protection on these. After a large storm one of my Powerlines was non-operational and the Cisco switch I had the Powerline linked with was also toast. The switch had been powered though a surge protector that had many other devices attached to it. All the other devices on that protector were fine. Could there be another cause for my switching being toasted that night? Perhaps, but being a resident of a rather stormy area of the united states I've always kept my electronics surged protected and I've never had anything release its magic smoke until this. The odds seem unlikely that the switch could be fried by anything other than the one device that was not surge protected, the Powerline XAVB2501. My thoughts, Noah P.

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.

No surge protection. It barely weighs anything. Not sure about the shielding. It's basically just a cheap power strip. If that's all you want then you will be satisfied.

This does not support surge suppression on HDMI. Unless you are running HDMI through the wall to get to your television, such suppression also should not be necessary provided you have surge suppression on the power delivery for all components, on the coax lines for cable/satellite, and any coax/phone lines for cable/DSL internet service.

From advertizing on outer box:For Computers & "HOME THEATERS" ..My thought:would think that any surge protector that has Coaxial Connections for TV / Cable Box(as the Monster Power has) would be safe to use for TV. Although they "Monster Power" may by chance also make a Surge Protection System specially designed just for Home Theater Systems?

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

As I understand it, this is adequate protection for surge, just like the extension strip surge protectors, just this fits in the wall behind your TV. That is what mine is being used for. http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ProductDetail.jsp?partnumber=5280-W&section;=39994

Thank you for the question!It is not recommended to plug an extension cord or another power strip into a surge protector. It will still work, however the surge protection function will no longer work and your equipment will be at risk of surges.Globe Customer Appreciation Team

it is a surge protector - and will protect you from a bad 'spike'. but for sensitive equipment that requires line conditioning, you might want to get something more advanced. this is a heavy duty outlet strip with a circuit breaker.
