(2 PACK) GE 6-Outlet Power Strip, 3FT Extension Cord, 16 Gauge, Flat Plug

The product description is misleading as this device is not a true surge surpressor. I'm an electrician and opened up mine after receiving it due to I was surprised to see no indicator lights to warn when the bar had received a surge that had disabled its protection. The bar itself has no internal surge surpression I descovered. That said, it is in fact a GROUNDED power bar that is relying on the innate surge surpression of whatever is plugged into this bar! For this to work, all the devices being plugged in MUST be NEWER devices and MUST be grounded. Additionally, this is a very limited protection... Every time a surge hits a device with this kind of protection without an actual surge surpression system (such as a true surge protector bar) it is like popping a pinhole in components and microchips until one eventually gives out and that devices fails. This bar is best used AFTER a single outlet surge surpressor. GE does make them and so does Balken and other manufacturers. I suggest you get one that is a GOOD one with a Money Guarantee for whatever you have plugged into that surge surpressor. Often they will say Guarantees up to $25,000 or more for example. They also usually have 2 lights one showing power on if a power bar and surge surpresson active or Ground is good and Surge Protection Active if single outlet.
