Do you have to use surge protectors for lightning protection with this cable?

I have not used surge protectors and have had it in place for several years with no problem. I'm not in a lightning prone region, but we do have occasional thunderstorms.

I don't use one in California as we don't get much lighting. Hopeful someone can respond that live in a state that has lighting

I think the surge protection would apply to all outlet including the USB. I use one of the USB port for a MagicJack Plus and it works fine although it sticks out of the wall a little bit.

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?

You're fine without a surge protection of iPhone, iPad and Camera chargers. We recommend surge protections for laptops and such because they have grounding pin also.

In case people ever come back to read this, you should NEVER connect a surge protector into any surge protected UPS. This is because it causes a ground loop in the wiring, in which the smaller surge protector is constantly triggered into thinking there is a power outage, ever though there isn't one. What this does is causes power spiking across the entire power strip, which can damage the UPS, your connected devices, and errors across your devices due to lower than optimal power ratings. Buy non-surge protected power strips if you need more ports for your UPS.

I'm not sure what whole house surge protection is. I know that they have to be plugged into the wall outlet and not into a surge protector, but I'm not sure if you're referring to regular surge protector strips or to a special type of surge protection. Sorry that I can't answer your question

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.

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.

Actually, that's a good question! In other words, once a surge is encountered does, #1: the device re-function as an electrical line connection?, and, #2: does it re-function as a surge protector? I honestly can't for sure answer either one of those questions. I usually use these devices, in-line with other surge protection, and once in a while use them in the field, for my laptop computers as the primary surge protection. So, insofar as the field work is concerned, I really don't know if I've ever encountered a surge to test the efficiency of the protection, ie re-function of the device?!

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.

No I do not but I do keep it plugged into a surge protector. So far, so good.

I think you could plug in with no problem but I dont know if it would affect the way a surge protector works? Product worked great for outdoor lights for holidays so I did not have to go out in the cold to turn them all off!

I use the surge protector directly to the back of each device. No loss of quality as far as I can tell.

It'll maintain power to the device. I'm not sure what the surge suppression is rated at (jewels), so I can't say that it will offer complete protection.

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.

It simply screws to the back of your device where the coax would have, then the coax screws to the surge protector. I've been using these for years now and they help, but nothing is full proof when lightning is striking.

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