Tripp Lite Isobar ISOBLOK2-0 Heavy Duty Outlet Extender, Wall Power Strip Surge Protector, 2 Outlets, Direct Plug-in, White, Metal Power Strip, Industrial Garage Work Shop Bench

I install home theater systems for a living. I purchase these units for cramped locations (such as custom TV cabinets or behind wall mounted TVs). These surge protectors are perfect for my needs: 1) Compact. A regular surge protector bar will not fit in any of my customers custom TV cabinets. I require a surge protector small enough to fit over an outlet without being bigger then the outlet itself. For example, these fit in the right side of a 2 gang, Combination Cable TV & Power outlet; without blocking the TV cable plug. 2) Quality. I only use high quality products in customer installations. These units exude quality both in specs and looks. 3) Protection. These surge protectors are small, but they have a surge suppression rating of 1410 Joules. That's pretty incredible for such a small unit; higher then most in-home surge protector bars. This means whatever is plugged into these (in my case LED TV's) will have a better chance of surviving then a lower rated surge bar. It's backed by a 10,000 Dollar "Ultimate Lifetime Insurance and Lifetime Product Warranty." 4) Noise Filtration. This is a feature found only higher quality surge protectors. This feature prevents appliances (blenders, refrigerators, fans) from degrading your TV picture and sound quality when in use. It also helps prevent lock-ups and data errors on PCs and other high end components. This is a MUST. 4) Heavy Duty. Yeah, these aren't breaking, ever. Every surface is solid metal, painted black. They weigh about 1 pound, which is lighter then I thought they would be. 5) Doesn't fall out of outlet. Despite their relative bulk and heavier weight, I thought these would just fall out with the slightest tug of an electrical cord. Not so. They fit solid into an outlet, and it's not going to fall out. It has a rubber boot on the back of the unit for extra leverage against the wall. 6) Easy. They plug in and work. No buttons. Plug in, your done. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and the price I paid. If you are looking for a small, affordable, QUALITY surge protector, I HIGHLY recommend these. I'm a very pleased, very impressed, and very satisfied customer. Thanks Tripp Lite. We appreciate quality products at fair prices. Please keep it up!

Well built and a great addition to protecting delicate electrical items I own. So far works well through any storm we’ve had here.

I have a UPS running backup power for my modem, router and ring wired doorbell. The issue I was having is I have a mini fridge plugged into the same outlet. Every time the fridge would shut off it would cause the internet to glitch/restart. Not cool. So, after some research I came across this little gadget and now all it well. It does a great job and filtering out the noise coming from the mini fridge. No more internet issues. And yes, I’ve clean up the wiring after I tested to make sure it solved my issue.

Tripp Lite makes very good surge & filtering products and I've been using them for many years. Their "Isobar" series really hits the sweet spot because you can isolate plugged in devices from each other. Here is a tip: For some odd marketing reason, the manufacturers and sellers of surge protection device focus on selling you joules, and imply that higher joules means more protection for your plugged in device. This is only part of the story. Yes, high joules might get you longer life for the surge protector itself (if you live in an area with very high surge events). Equally important is the "let-through" voltage, also known as "clamping voltage." This number should be low, so at least 330V (also called Class 1), which is good. There are surge protectors available that get down to 180V let-though, but these are harder to find. If you have lots of electronics in your home, start with a "whole house" protector installed in the circuit breaker box. Then layer by protecting individual things like computers and TVs with power strip style protectors.

Bulky and appropriately industrial in appearance, this unit seems like be a well constructed, high quality product consistent with its lifetime warranty and device protection assurance. Buyers should be aware, however, that his surge protector no longer includes the mounting bracketshow in in the product description on Amazon and the Eaton/Tripp Lite web site. This no-longer-provided bracket secured the surge protector to AC receptacle. Accordingly, this product is not suitable for mounting in, for example, a ceiling mounted AC receptacle or other situation where it may become disconnected unless the installer finds a way to keep the surge protector from becoming disconnected or falling out of the AC socket.

Great product! It is inexpensive and works well. I use three Tripp-Lite Isobars to protect my three peered subwoofers.

For less than CAD$40 I was glad to have come across this surge suppressor, which features the same isolated filter banks and thermal fuse that can be found in their more expensive isobar models but in a direct plug-in form with much smaller foot-print. The aluminum housing gives it a sturdy and premium look and feel compared to other direct plug-in but mostly plastic surge protectors that I could find in the same price range and joule rating (they are all made in China anyway, including this one). As with all commonly found surge suppressors, this one also has a limited lifespan but Tripp-Lite appears to offer lifetime warranty that you can simply ask for a replacement when the PROTECTION PRESENT LED goes out. I use it on my mini bluetooth tube amp and thanks to its multiple noise-filtering components (VHF & HF capacitors, MOV, ferrite rod-core inductors, and toroidal balanced chokes) it does filter out minor noise I could hear from my speakers as I have many other computer equipment sharing the same circuit. Note to Canadian buyers: do NOT use the provided mounting tab and screw, doing so will void your insurance and warranty. Refer to the owner's manual for more details.

Excelente protección contra sobretensiones para ser tan pequeño, construcción muy durable y portátil, mucho mejor que su otro protector portátil de la misma marca, el otro es de plástico y las patas están muy endebles y aunque es más barato, la diferencia no es tanta, me quedé con ambos de todos modos.

Like everything i already have a power bar isobar hospital grade and love it

Antes que nada es importante aclarar que este supresor de picos es para productos de alta demanda de energía, no es ideal para equipos de entretenimiento o PC (pueden usarlo para eso, pero hay opciones más completas al mismo precio). No, el ISOBLOK2 es para ayudar a evitar que equipos de alto consumo, como lavadoras o refrigeradores, sufran daño si vives en un lugar donde el servicio eléctrico sea irregular (lease todo México), resiste hasta 1800W, lo que quiere decir que soporta equipos de hasta 400W (los motores de linea blanca requieren hasta 4-5 veces la potencia nominal para el arranque, de ahí la recomendación). El diseño no es elegante o novedoso, si no resistente y cuasi industrial, pero eso es de esperarse, realmente es el tipo de productos donde el aspecto debe de ser lo de menos.

The surge protector is used for a 1400 watts steam sterilizer for medical pupose, an expensive piece of equipment with electronic components. Does not take a lot of space and shows if the circuit is active for surge protection. Meets standard for surge protection. Well recommended !
