Good surge protector.

SOILD! Surge Protector!

Like everything else in the UniFi lineup, this access point has been nothing but rock solid and easy to set up. It works great to expand wifi coverage to my backyard, since the wifi signal inside my house doesn't make it reliably outside. I can't comment on the mesh functionality since I have it connected via Cat 6 outdoor ethernet cable to a Ubiquiti US-8-60W switch inside the house, so it's just acting like an access point rather than a mesh network. It is also connected outside to a Ubiquiti ETH-SP-G2 surge protector (in the picture, which I need to ground), and a second ETH-SP-G2 on the outside of the house, where the ethernet cable goes into the house (grounded). The access point and surge protector is mounted under my deck, on one of the support pillars. My only negative feedback is the mounting options. While the access point comes with a few different options (pole mount, wall mount, and antenna mount), the mount that I was going to use (wall mount) doesn't look like it has a way to detach the access point too easily. I first mounted it to the Ubiquiti Universal Antenna Mount (UB-AM), but the antenna mount was overkill for one little access point and the surge protector, so I ended up returning that. I like the antenna mount that comes with the access point, which I ultimately used, since it has a tab you push to detach the access point from the mount. I intend to remove the access point during the winter, since I'm not in my backyard much then (living in Colorado). So I ended up drilling a couple of small screw holes in the middle of the antenna mount, which has worked well.

I use these all around the house as an economical surge protector that I can rely on, wherever I don't need the additional coax or network lines protected as well. The design of the supressor is such that you can use up to three bulky transformers without blocking the use of the other outlets, since two of the outlets are provided on the side. Additionally, it has a rating of 2160J, which is plenty of protection for me for most applications. After having an issue with a lightning strike, I spent a lot of time researching reviews of products and customer feedback to get a feel for which companies actually stood behind their products. Tripp-Lite was the only one I felt I could trust.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oh I love this and wow didn't realize how much I keede a surge protector. My house got struck by lighting lost a TV but not the TV or sound system or fireplace because of this surge protector. I already bought 3 mire for the rest of the house.

This Surge Protector is the perfect size for behind my TV. I love that it has an outlet on top and botton for my bigger plugs and also the end outlet can accommodate a bigger longer plug as well. The last surge protector I had did not have them and my bigger plugs would cover up multiple oulets. I love that it has a small green power light and a small red grounded light so that you know it is working. If you need a 7 outlet surge protector look no further.

Running our church house lights off these as a replacement to Leviton wall switch dimmers that were causing flickering. We installed two of these dimmer packs and connected approximately 95 LED ceiling fixtures spread out over six of the available eight channels we have with the two packs. Each fixture is a 10w LED bulb from a big orange box store. Our electrician said we are pulling approximately 1 amp on each string of lights. Integrated into the rest of our DMX stage lighting system piece of cake. Planning to purchase a spare to have on the shelf just in case.

Great Surge protector! Not sure if it actually works until we get a surge though, Lol
