Cyberpower 1010HT 10-Outlet Surge Suppressor 4200 Joules 15A RJ11/Coax(3)/RJ45 EMI/RFI Right-angle

 (7 customer reviews)

I purchased this product because I have three coax lines running to my TV. Two for my DirecTV HD DVR and one for basic cable. I could not find any surge suppressors in the stores that had three coax inputs, not even the overpriced ones offered by Monster. So, I originally had to use two separate surge strips so all of the coax inputs were protected. I purchased this one based on the reviews and it has worked out great for me. I can connect all of my devices to this one surge strip and my entire system is protected.

This company got it right by adding an ethernet input along with the telephone input. So many hi-tech HD devices accept ethernet connections. In fact, I added a wireless router to my HD set-up because my blu-ray player, PS3 and HD DVR all needed ethernet connections. This can be a source for electrical surges that most people are not aware of. For example, I had a cable modem, router and ethernet card in my PC all get fried due to a surge.

I recently bought a number of medium grade surge protectors to see what's out there. I really like this model--the outlets are spaced nicely--you could plug in 10 power bricks if you needed to--the joule rating is pretty decent at 4200. The unit feels well-made and heavy, but it is all plastic. Without comparing it to other models at the $50-$70 price point, it's a fine surge protector in terms of build and outlets. But comparing it to similarly priced units from other vendors and the build quality isn't quite as a nice--Belkin has a unit that is only $10 more, metal construction, and a built-in cord management system to reduce clutter. So shop around and try to see these in person if that kind of thing matters to you. However, if you're looking for the cheapest medium grade surge protector--or if you need to protect against surges in 3 coax sources--this will do the trick.

What can I say? I installed the Cyberpower 1010HT surge suppressor a couple of months ago and have since been hit by several short commercial power outages, a major brown-out and a long power outage lasting about 24 hours. The 1010HT did the job and protected the equipment plugged into it including a LCD TV and home theater system. Would definitely recommend to friends.
