Does the Sierra Electric JB6527 S/2 Multiplug Outlet provide surge protection?

No it does not. The model that does had one 3-prong male plug, which would be inserted into one part of a two plug outlet.

No surge protection but excellent multi-plug that installs flat with the wall...

It is both a power surge protector and a four socket outlet. A DREAM for traveling through airports where demand always outstrips supply....

Anything with an active ground pin should be surge protected. The ground pin on the Elago is plastic so it does not protect against surges. Don't be fooled by the TR-Adap-BK. It appears to only offer overcurrent protection since it has a fuse. No plug can offer surge protection unless the ground pin is active (i.e. metal and connected). If you are looking for true surge protection, go with the Simran SM-60 if you are traveling. The cord has a ground pin that can be used to protect any device that has a 3-prong plug. 2-prong plugs can only offer polarity if it is keyed (one pin bigger than the other). I hope this answers your question. I spend most of my time overseas. If you travel a lot, it is good to purchase an Ideal 61-164 voltage analyzer. It allows you to test any outlet before you plug up anything that you value.

I suggest you contact the manufacturer for your answer. Personally, I would only plug those units into a 15-20 amp dedicated wall socket with GFCI protection. I use this surge unit for my computer, monitor, external hard drives, wireless router etc. with excellent results.

I have not had a problem with this surge protector. I have all my computer equipment plugged into it.

Its a power strip and not a surge protector. But,traveling in Europe you discover electrical outlets are few and far between. This device allows multiple units to be charged from a single outlet, yet compact enough to throw in an overnight bag. Remember, its a power strip not an adapter or converter.

It is not surge protected. I ended going to Home Depot and buying the Leviton T5280 to replace the one that comes with this kit.

My understanding is that it's only an outlet strip, not a surge suppressor. The 15 amp overcurrent protector (circuit breaker) does not provide transient suppression.

No, it does not come with a surge protector but it does have a fuse inside that will blow if the current limit is exceeded.

If you have a ground fault indicator on your surge protector, than the surge protector offers no real surge protection. The ground wire from the wall outlet serves to pass current into the frame of the house, as opposed to the electronic device. I learned this the hard way, because my apartment didn't have a ground wire on the plugs. A power surge fried my router and battery backup, and upon reading the fine print, I learned that this is necessary for any surge protector to work properly. So, I got a 8 gauge wire, and hooked it directly from the new GFCI wall outlet ground to the box in the wall. The metal from the box will ground out, so long as you securely attach the wire using a bolt or screw.

No surge protection. It barely weighs anything. Not sure about the shielding. It's basically just a cheap power strip. If that's all you want then you will be satisfied.

David, I will need to disagree with Chris on the surge protection issue. By my experience, I would say that a surge can cause damage to hardware up the CAT5/CAT6 line from the NETGEAR Powerline (The XAVB2501 to be exact). All of my equipment was surge protected except the XAVB2501 as it was recommended not to use surge protection on these. After a large storm one of my Powerlines was non-operational and the Cisco switch I had the Powerline linked with was also toast. The switch had been powered though a surge protector that had many other devices attached to it. All the other devices on that protector were fine. Could there be another cause for my switching being toasted that night? Perhaps, but being a resident of a rather stormy area of the united states I've always kept my electronics surged protected and I've never had anything release its magic smoke until this. The odds seem unlikely that the switch could be fried by anything other than the one device that was not surge protected, the Powerline XAVB2501. My thoughts, Noah P.

No. Even with a plug adapter, the surge protector part is a problem. I have blown circuits and adapters this way. First, I blew the adapter in India. Then, I plugged it in at the airport lounge in the U.S. and killed that entire circuit. Guilty.

It's not a surge protector if that's what you're asking. It's a heavy-duty extension cord so it'll handle a TV and player but it won't protect your electronics in a storm or other power surge. I use mine to lengthen the reach of my power strip, which is surge protecting. I plug a lamp into it as well as the lamp doesn't require such protection.

The product description on the Aeotec website mentions surge /over current protection to the following levels: Max. Joules: 650Max. Surge Current: 6000V/3000A. I dont see a problem with plugging in an additional surge protected strip.

No, this is not a surge protector. Freezers should be on there own separate circuit. Same with ovens or any heavy duty load...

In case people ever come back to read this, you should NEVER connect a surge protector into any surge protected UPS. This is because it causes a ground loop in the wiring, in which the smaller surge protector is constantly triggered into thinking there is a power outage, ever though there isn't one. What this does is causes power spiking across the entire power strip, which can damage the UPS, your connected devices, and errors across your devices due to lower than optimal power ratings. Buy non-surge protected power strips if you need more ports for your UPS.
