can this be used to protect a cordless phone from lightning surges???

No, this has RJ45 connections for internet connection with Cat 6 cable from modem or router to computer. To protect your phone you need a surge protector with a RJ11 connections. RJ11 is smaller and less wires. If you have an APC for your computer, it usually has RJ11 connectors for phone on the side. If not order a surge protector with RJ11 connections for telephone.

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.

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.

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.

That would certainly work, though it would be preferable to find a device that combines both surge protection and remote on/off.

Yes, it is a surge protector. That is it's main purpose. I had a surge a few weeks ago at a campground and nothing was affected. It is worth the peace of mind.

I made some search and find an article which might answer your question. I hope it helps! http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-surge-protector/

No, this surge protector is designed to clip voltage spikes. It will not provide voltage regulation. I recommend, however, that you do not ignore the severe voltage swings as these high and low extremes could be detrimental to your electrical equipment

Yes, just flip it over and grasping the opening with your thumbs, you should be easily able to fit a surge protector cord in the opening. I am very happy with mine. Hope this helps.

Assuming the outlet is working, it sounds like your base unit is shot. I've had a couple of these phones now and they are very sensitive to power surges. I put my current unit on a surge protector and it's lasted several years now.

It could, but that's not what it's designed for. It's designed for appliances like washing machines, etc. that have electric motors as well as circuit boards. To protect a TV, you should use a surge protector designed for electronics only.

Probably not. Some sort of surge protector might protect against a strike that isn't to close; there isn't much protection against a direct hit though. There are specifically designed lightning arrestors, but good ones tend to be pricey and the most effective ones are usually installed at the main panel or meter.

I don't see why not as long as you are near an outlet it's not cordless. It is small, light, and easy to use, but it won't get in the nooks and crannys.

I use mine in the kitchen where a surge protector laying on the counter is not convenient. I have it on my toaster as well as the coffee maker.

Yes, the surge protector will still work (although double check the surge protector's warranty coverage to be sure that you don't void it by using one, if that's an issue). The only potential issue is that if you plug too many things into a single socket you may trip a circuit breaker if you are attempting to draw too much power.

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.

No, this is made for clamping to a desk. If you need one that sits on a flat surface, consider purchasing a normal non-desk mounted surge protector.
