No, its just add 6 outlets where you have 2 now. Remember not to overload outlet just because there 6 slots.

The product website states it's not a surge protector http://www.monsterproducts.com/Outlets_To_Go_Power_Strip_4_Outlets#productDetailsTabs2

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.

yes it would . but it seems it is the wrong choice for a TV a high tech surge protector made for TVs and computers seem a better choice . and really good ones come with guanrantees against damage by power surges . and believe me a relatives house was hit by lighting and with no surge protector the computer caught on fire and died.

No.Even if you would modify this unit to fit (NOT recommended) it would not protect anything because there would be no ground on the unit. And even if you modify your outlets, AGAIN, it would NOT protect the equipment because there is NO GROUND connected. Why not purchase a cheaper unit that just distributes electricity but does not protect from surges.

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.

No; this surge protector with timer is digital and totally silent. I absolutely love mine. The timer has many settings and features.

no, this is not a surge protector. It is used to completely cut power to any appliance is that it is plugged into. for instance, I use this on my toaster oven which stays plugged into the wall always, and always draws trickle electricity. with the Belkin switch I only need to turn it off when I'm not using it turn it back on when I want to use it, thereby saving energy.

Yes . Operational failure resulting from a power surge while properlyconnected to a surge protector. You may be asked to provide Yoursurge protector for examination

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

No, it is not a surge protector outlet. That is not a light, it's a entry to get cords into the wall or out of the wall and has little brushes to hide what's behind. My husband uses these to hang TV's on our walls. The cable comes out thru the brushes and attaches to the TV while the TV plugs in here. Therefore you see no cords and the TV just "floats" on the wall.

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.

No. Although the Conserve Power Switch itself uses no power when not in operation and standby power is eliminated, it is not a surge protector. It will not prevent power surges.

No, it doesn't but make sure you plug it in the wall not a surge protector.

Yes, that's what I use it for. Haven't had a major test yet, but I bought this to replace a Monster unit that was more expensive and, after 8 years, allowed a sufficient surge to disable my flat screen tv. I have had good luck with a small Tripp Lite surge protector that I carry for a laptop and associated electronics (LCD projectors, etc.)

No, it does not, and since most surge protectors are very temporary, if you use one it should be a separate unit. Most units of this sort do not use them. I do not.
