What makes this surge protector better than a regular surge protector aside from the remote

To be completely honest with you, I don't know if it is better than any other surge protector aside from the convenience factor. I just think it's a great surge protector because I can turn everything off with one, easy-to-reach switch. Like I mentioned on my review though, I recommend getting the updated version (Conserve Switch F7C01008q). I bought that in February 2011 and it's still working fine.

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

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.

Definitely a surge protector and is not MOV based, but a TVS diode surge protector. I find this type better for my Headphone amps. MOV based surge protectors seem to have a higher joule rating.

The SYCOM whole house surge protector can do both. I installed one on my circuit breaker box will little trouble. I haven't yet had a lightning strike or surge, so I haven't had the opportunity to see it work.

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

Yes it does but like me I never plug my big electronics and my DJ gear directly into the wall I always use a surge protector its worth it I fried one of my old mixers at a party it sucked so I do recommend using a surge for your big and expensive stuff you don't want fried

For true surge protection you will want to run the coax through the surge protector.

It's not a surge protector if that's what you're asking. It's a heavy-duty extension cord so it'll handle a TV and player but it won't protect your electronics in a storm or other power surge. I use mine to lengthen the reach of my power strip, which is surge protecting. I plug a lamp into it as well as the lamp doesn't require such protection.

This is like a regular outlet, you need to bring 120v power from another close- by outlet or directly from the fuse panel! This outlet has surge protection and is recessed so the plug is out of way of the TV . It ALSO has an alarm which goes off in the event of a power surge ,and a cut out for a HDMI OR VIDEO cable!!

EMS protects from surges, low current (which can fry your AC), shorts in CG electric services. The surge protector only protects from power surges. Hardwired EMS is the best way to go. It only allows power to your RV after analyzing the power source.

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.

It is not recommended through a surge protector. It may not work at all or will be unreliable. I do not know if has one built in, but I have three and have been using them for over a year with no issue.

Not recommended. This is not a surge protector. It built for clearn electronic, and specifily build for each Hifi component such as pre amp, powered amp, dvd, TV, receiver etc. I recomend an addition monster cable power surge.Dan T
