Customer Reviews

Looks like command central
I got this when I dropped far too much on my 50" plasma. For me, one of the things I had to have was 3 coax in/out jacks since DirecTV runs 2 inputs to their receiver. This particular model included 3, so I could also protect my over the air HD feed from my outdoor antenna in case it takes a hit too.

To boot, this strip comes with Noise filtration built in so your components receive filtered clean power. No, it's not a full fledged power conditioner for PURE noiseless & lossless power, but with the HVAC fan kicking on and off lately I have not noticed any flickering like I did with my old TV and power strip. One of those conditioners is going to cost you a lot more than a power strip anyway.

10 outlets is sufficient and there is ample spacing for AC converter packs...I don't yet have the receiver and amplifier for my surround sound system, but even when I get those, I will have open outlets. Currently I have the TV, DVD player, Blu-Ray player, DirecTV receiver, Wii, VCR, and phone AC converter plugged in. When I get the receiver and amp, that's 2 more leaving me space for a powered sub if I want to go that route.

What makes it look like command central are the plethora of informative lights on the strip. It shows in input voltage, current amperage usage, and has the usual on / grounded / protected lights as well. Useful for those of you want to know which of your components are the most power hungry. This might be annoying to some Home Theater buffs, however, all of the little lights can easily be covered up by some electrical tape.

It is heavy, but that's a good thing in my book. Weight is to be expected for something that's supposed to be able to take a lightning strike...and this suppressor feels tank-worthy.

The only con is that it is a little larger than I anticipated...just over 2 feet long which makes it hard to hide. That's my only complaint and why I'd like to give this a 4.5 out of 5, but amazon still does not allow for 1/2 stars, and I think 5 starts should only be reserved for the absolute best of the best, thus I give it 4.

Thankfully, I haven't had to test the 5700 joules of protection, but TrippLite has an excellent reputation, and from what I've read, superior customer service, so I have peace of mind.

For the money, I got everything I wanted with this power strip, AND it has a higher protection rating than almost any other power strip in it's class. To me, it was a no-brainer for protecting 2500$ worth of equipment with probably another grand on the way.

HTPOWERBAR10
This powerbar is definitely a giant. I purchased this with the ISOBAR10 for behind my entertainment center/armoire use. The ISOBAR10 is perfect for that tight space and the plug angle being vertical. However, I decided to use the HTPOWERBAR10 instead due to how heavyduty the whole thing looks. I have moved the ISBOAR10 into my bedroom for my other HT setup.

Great product but if you have a tight space, the angle of the plugins might present a problem. This thing is very big:)

Tripp Lite
The Tripp Lite HTPowerbar 10 is everything they stated it was and it is considerably less expensive than the Monster product. I really liked how easy it was to set up. One thing to consider is it is very big. I was a bit surprised by the size.
