From the Manufacturer
Maximize your system's protection. Now you can get protection from harmful surges, voltage spikes and inconvenience! Monster's PowerCenters offer high performance solutions for today's technology challenges. Harmful power surges and voltage spikes can travel up AC power and coax connections and damage your components. Lightning, automatic garage doors, power tools, refrigerators and fluorescent lights all cause power surges and voltage spikes that can travel up AC power lines and coax cables to damage your computer system. Even a momentary power surge can destroy valuable data stored on your hard drive. Worse yet, costly damage can occur to the sensitive electronic circuitry of your motherboard. Ordinary surge protectors, or the so-called "value brands", often fail to provide the adequate level of safeguards you need to protect your valuable data and equipment. A properly designed surge protector can help protect your sensitive computer components. Proper connection to an advanced surge protector with system protection can help minimize the risk of surge damage to your system. Monster Computer PowerProtect gives you the level of protection your system needs. Unlike standard surge protectors, the Computer PowerProtect PC600 with SurgeGuard protection provides multiple layers of defense against harmful surges. Strategically placed multiple Metal Oxide Varasitors (MOV's) respond within one nanosecond (a billionth of a second) to power surges and voltage spikes before they can reach and damage electronic circuitry. Monster PowerCenters make life easier. Monster's FlatProfile plug lets you push your furniture flush against the wall. And, with six color-coded outlets and cord labels, you can avoid unplugging your computer by mistake - possibly causing valuable data loss or damage to your hard drive. Finally, a generous eight-foot Monster power cord, which is the optimum length to reach most electrical outlets, is included.

Monster does it again! A+
I just bought a new computer and I new if I ever needed a new surge protector, monster would have what I need. This baby has it all. Clearly marked, 3 prong, plugs for the computer, monitor, printer, scanner, modem, speakers and two extras... It also includes phone line protection from impulses and discharges caused from surge pulses (you need this! without this, I've lost two modems from storms 30 minutes away!). It includes a since 8ft long power line which is heavily insolated. Other bonuses include the 1665 joule rating, the 24k gold contact grounded plug, little stickers to mark your cables with and a Monster phone line cable. I also like its attractive look. Most are white and stand out. Since this model is black, it appears a little secluded on my desk. But that's not all. You're backed with a grantee this baby will not fail. If it does, you are covered my Monster's insurance! That's worth 50 bucks alone!
WOW! Solid construction, almost overkill.
I mainly bought this for its reliability, # of outlets and (most of all) the CleanPower feature. Funky / dirty AC power is one of the leading causes of shortened life expectancy for electronics. Some things I noticed:
Yes, it is plastic, but it has that good, thick plastic feel, NOT the cheap thin stuff that seems like it would crack when dropped.
It can be hung in virtually any direction (horiz, diag, vert) from two screws/nails by two plus-sign (+) hole patterns on the back of the unit.
The cord is long and thick. The plug is a wall-hugging 90-degree angle type that can be used in either the top or bottom outlet receptacle. Huh? It is not only wall-hugging but it doesnt hang straight down from the receptacle - imagine you plugged this into a clock face: the plug would be angled toward the "4" or "5" on the face so that you aren't limited to plugging it in the bottom plug. You could actually have two of these plugged into the same outlet. Enough about that...
The plug connectors are REALLY tight fitting. You'll see what I mean when you go to plug in the computer or whatever. ALL Monster outlets are this way, and are intended to help keep the plug from falling out or being ripped out by accident. Another way Monster Cable thinks about the small things that bug us.
Mine came with a phone cable that was a couple feet (or so) in length. Cool, now I can plug the fax through the connectors on the unit. (Nothing to report there.)
The power switch lights up in red.
Comes with labels to help indentify BOTH ends of the power cabes you are plugging in.
The three "transformer" positions are great for those old box plugs for the cameras and such. Plenty of room built in.
I HIGHLY recommend this unit for your computer!
quit working after 3 months
I bought this product with the monster label. Well, it lasted abot 3 months and then just quit working. I threw it away forgetting I bought it from amazon. Buy less expensive with higher joules.
