Eaton Tripp Lite TLP1208SAT Flat Plug Surge Protector 12 Outlets Home TV

This Eaton Tripp Lite surge protector offers much more than a standard power strip. I like that it provides 12 outlets and a substantial 2880-joule surge protection rating, making it well suited for home theater systems, computers, networking equipment, gaming setups, and home offices. The 8-foot extension cord provides excellent flexibility for placement, and the flat plug design works well behind furniture and entertainment centers. One of the standout features is the additional protection for coaxial, phone, and Ethernet connections, helping safeguard connected devices from surges that may enter through multiple pathways. The outlet spacing accommodates larger power adapters better than many basic power strips, and the overall construction feels sturdy and well-made. This is especially useful for protecting TVs, sound systems, routers, modems, computers, streaming devices, and other valuable electronics. Overall, this is a high-capacity surge protector that combines excellent power distribution, strong surge protection, and additional network and communication line protection in a single well-designed unit.

Just received it 3 days ago and so far, it's working great. It's not too big with a nice, sleek design. It has plenty of outlets to handle several things and doesn't take up too much space overall. This surge protector also has two glowing lights letting you know your devices are protected and grounded.

This has the look and feel of a well made product. I like the fact that the unused spots can be closed to keep them clean.

Love this thing. Bought it because it was recommended by a firefighter and I’ve been super happy with it so far. No issues and I love the little covers that slide over outlets not in use.

It does come with a few cables in the box. You get a DSL/phone cable, a coax satellite cable, and an Ethernet cable. The Ethernet cable is Cat5, which actually makes sense because the Ethernet protection on this Tripp Lite only supports up to 100 Mbps. Now, the real reason I bought this thing is because this is the **second time I've had a cable modem and gaming router damaged during a storm**. And when I say they got blown up by lightning, I'm exaggerating a little bit. Lightning didn't directly hit my equipment. What I believe happened is lightning hit somewhere around the utility pole and the electrical surge traveled through the coax line into my Xfinity XB7 cable modem. It ended up damaging the LAN ports on the XB7, and it also took out the WAN port on my Netduma R2 gaming router. After having that happen twice, I wanted some protection on the coax line itself. So one of the biggest things I wanted to confirm with this review is whether this Tripp Lite actually works with a **cable modem using a standard RG6 coax cable**. And yes — **it works perfectly with my Xfinity cable modem.** My internet connection is **1,000 Mbps down and 120 Mbps up**, and after running my RG6 coax through the Tripp Lite, I haven't lost any noticeable speed. I'm still getting my full internet speeds. More importantly, I checked the modem itself. My **SNR levels are still good, and my downstream and upstream power levels are basically the same as they were before installing the Tripp Lite.** I'm not seeing any noticeable degradation in the cable signal. So if you're looking at this unit specifically because you want some additional protection between your incoming coax line and your cable modem, I can confirm that **it works with my cable modem and RG6 coax without affecting my gigabit internet connection or my modem's signal levels.** That's really the main reason I wanted to make this review, because that was the information I was looking for when I bought it.

I like this surge protector fine because the specs match what I need but it’s got a few minor things that cost it a perfect score. I would buy this again though. Good: Over 2500 joules = perfectly adequate to protect TV, Home Theater, or PC. 330V clamping. This is what you want for home theater, PC, console, etc. The right angle plug is a bonus. Bad: The network cable that comes with this is only Cat 5, not even Cat 5e - so that's dated already and you can e-waste it. From what I've read the network protection in the connector is also using a dated standard so don't plan on using that for anything that needs speed in 2026. One third a star off for that even though I knew it was dated going in. I didn’t buy this for data protection anyhow. It has 2 indicator lights. If they are on then everything is good. They made one green and one red. The colors are meaningless - on is good and off is bad - so why not make them both green? Red usually indicates FAULT not OK. One third a star off for that choice. Some of the plugs are too close together. They should’ve spaced them out better because they’re so tight many cables won’t even plug in next to each other in real use. One third a star off for that. Tip: Write the date you bought it on the bottom so you'll know about how old it is when it starts beeping to be replaced. If the other surge protectors in your house are older than that? They need to be replaced too.

UPDATE: ONE of these works pretty well, the OTHER one, UGH!! Only three of the eight outlets work. The other five I AM UNABLE TO PLUG ANYTHING INTO FIVE OF THEM! You need a sledgehammer! My fiancee' is a BIG guy and he could not get a simple, two pronged plug for a lamp to plug into any of the other outlets! Sending back! Great surge protector. I just received and installed them, however, they seem to be of good quality. Verizon totally screwed up my Fios install (shocker). Their tech didn't know what he was doing (shocker again). My electrical outlet was not properly grounded and only accepted two-pronged plugs. The nimrod cut the grounding plug off of a cheap-ass, no name power strip and plugged it in and connected the HUGE plug for the back-up battery to it. Over time, we experienced several outages (almost weekly) and the strip started making a weird noise. That is when I noticed the lights on the backup battery did not say "grounded" or "protected" I purchased the Tripp Lite to see if they worked better. I had to purchase a little, grey GFCI adaptor and screw it into the socket to ground that outlet, and accept three=pronged plugs, but it worked and the Tripp Lite says "grounded and protected". I feel much safer with this than the POS Verizon jerry rigged and left me with. This one also has input jacks for phone lines and TV connections.

Great Home Theater Surge Protector Power Strip. Heavy duty, quality heavy cord. Lots a room for both oversized and standard plugs. Gold plated co-ax cables connectors. Great sleek design.

Fits both large AC Transformer plugs and regular plugs. Decent room between plugs. Does not feel crowded when inserting or removing a plug. Haven't had a power surge since I purchased this unit but the indicator lights say that I should be protected. I purchased this unit because it will alert you when the protection circuitry is no longer capable of protection you from a surge - I didn't realize they wore out. It cost me a hard drive to learn that lesson. Over the next little while, I will be replacing my other surge protectors with similar ones that give you such a warning - before it's too late and I fry something else.

Buen producto, funciona de maravilla se ve de muy buena calidad, es un poco grande pero cumple con lo prometido, tiene suficientes contactos para múltiples aparatos, una excelente compra
