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.

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.

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.

I don't recommend exceeding the specified maximum amperage rating of the protector. You will damage the surge protector.

I have not had a problem with this surge protector. I have all my computer equipment plugged into it.

This power strip has minor surge protection. I would not depend on this to protect anything important. I've used it plugged into another surge protector and then used the ends to plug the wall warts for things like my cell phone, tablet, and laptop which don't all like to plug into normal power strips so easily. This is good for devices that have fat wall wart transformers.

no one is stopping you. probably voids the warranty, though, since you're basically plugging a tiny little surge protector strip into another surge protector.

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.

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

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.

No. Even with a plug adapter, the surge protector part is a problem. I have blown circuits and adapters this way. First, I blew the adapter in India. Then, I plugged it in at the airport lounge in the U.S. and killed that entire circuit. Guilty.

I don't see why not. I have never seen a need to plug ours into a surge protector but go ahead if you feel a need to.

This is not a surge protector. Many appliances and devices use a trickle of electricity even when they are not actually turned on, which wastes electricity, not to mention wasting your money. The purpose of the Belkin Power Conserve Switch is to cut power completely to whatever is plugged into it. You restore power to your appliance by pressing the small power switch on the right-hand side of the switch when it's time to use the appliance, and then off again, when use is complete. I have six of these installed in my kitchen and have been delighted with their performance and ease of use.

I have plugged into a surge protector (for past year) with no loss or issue

Its a power strip and not a surge protector. But,traveling in Europe you discover electrical outlets are few and far between. This device allows multiple units to be charged from a single outlet, yet compact enough to throw in an overnight bag. Remember, its a power strip not an adapter or converter.

I didn't look at the other comments before responding... sorry. More is better, opinions vary, nothing is perfect, I deemed this adequate and it insures my warranty is not invalidated for not using a surge protector. Regarding how much more you might want, here is one reference: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/everyday-tech/surge-protector7.htm

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.
