Should I be worried that this is not UL rated (Especially since I plan on using high power electronics)?

The combine outlets rating on this unit is 15 amps, which is the same as the outlet rating on standard households. So the combine equipments that plug in to this unit cannot exceed 15 amps while running. Like all things that made in China, there is an unknown quality assurance. I only use this unit for the usb outputs and occasional kitchen appliances. I only trust Monster power for all my audio and video equipments.

Who knows. I've had six devices plugged into mine plus a baby monitor and nothing caught fire. All these fine Chinese electronics are well acquainted with each other I think...

Yes. Absolutely, and if anyone wants to argue differently, I'll be happy to forward the pictures of my burnt out Bestek and the charred internal control board. Nothing but a laptop drawing current when this happened. If the manufacturer is reading this, experienced a control board fire in the vicinity of capacitors 2 & 14, and Diodes 6,7,8,9. Yes, my breaker tripped at the box, but not before the damage, and it was anything but overloaded. The fire literally shot out of the *grounding receptacle* (bursting capacitor maybe?), which burned a hole in my sleeve and another on my thumb. There's a good chance your fire insurance is invalidated by using non UL listed products -and as I discovered today, for good reason. I've permanently retired all three of mine and won't be looking back.

I won't buy anything without UL certification. If not well made, it could easy arc, short, or damage equipment. I think you get what you pay for, and $15 seems too cheap.

This has SIX 120V AC plug ins , 3 on each side but the plug in module itself only has ONE plug in for the AC Wall Outlet. It's never been a good idea to plug SIX devices into one plug in outlet like this thing does! That was idiotic of the designers!

Absolutely. Most home and renter insurance policies will not cover any damage to your home that is found to be the result of plugging in a device that is not listed by UL or another accredited testing organization.

I have looked at the box and the device itself and I don't see anything that says that it is UL rated

of course not, not safely. the internal wiring andsockets are rated for 110

hello Maggie.......well, guess you'd have to check with CA, no idea if their standards are more stringent than what the US standard UL2034 requires......sorry

Bill, I do no know if UL certified but I have installed 6 of them in a game room with UV and they have been working fantastic.

I Would say NO. Not UL listed on product or generic package. Then again, neither are my GE lightbulbs.

Shouldn't be a problem so long as you don't exceed the maximum wattage the unit can support

Hello,No the UL is not listed. This model doesn't have it. Model# MRV2012UL is one that you would need. It is a UL 458. Thanks

They have been around for a while.....I have experienced a 100% failure rate, and would not recommend this product! It is not UL approved.....Canadian UL is not the same. The Quantum 1000 has the potential to burn your house down, and if you are running your lights at night, you will never know that it is going bad until it ruins your crop or starts a fire.

Yes it is to UL standards. It is my second one. My first lasted over 6 years.

It absolutely is not, no UL listing symbol. My cousin is an electrician and he confirmed it for me. That said it hasn't burnt my place down.... yet.

Tripp Lite's website specs say: "UL1449 let through rating 400, 500, 500", so if my understanding of surge protector-related stuff is accurate, this little unit is probably not the best choice for sensitive and/or expensive electronics like computers, TVs, etc... I use mine for cordless phone charging bases and microwave ovens.

Good question. I don't think it's UL listed but it works great and I love it. Too bad government has to stick their nose's in our business. Buy one anyway and put it in. You'll be glad you did.

In terms of the wattage, I would definetely recommend going higher than the rated requirement by around 1.5x (so technically 2250W+ if available). The ratings are never an exact number (or for constant pull of power-just a peak output) and even if they were it would be running right to the edge of its potential in your case, which would not likely end well.

Good question (based on the description). The item I just received (fulfilled by Xl) claims 12volt DC output.I returned it because the item in the picture has an Underwriters Laboratories certification. The item I received looks different, and has no UL certification. Since this item was to be used for gratis work for someone else, I have no interest in assuming the liability for using a non-UL listed 120vAC (input) item. hth, high

It only carries video and audio signals, not power, so I don't think it would need to have any UL approval. UL approval is usually on power or extension cords.

It should be fine but do not exceed the 7amp and 125 volt maximums otherwise you may create a potential fire hazard.
