I've read all of the posts on surge suppression and lightning and so forth...and I am aware that whole house protection is the way to go and plan to go that way. That said, I am still looking for an inexpensive device to put in my equipment rack. Its purpose will be for convenience (cords) and noise filtration in addition to surge suppression.
I've narrowed it down to two choices based on price (both under $70) and functionality. If someone could offer any insight I would appreciate it. I've included what specs I could find:
Tripp-lite Isobar 12 Ultra
1280 joules
140v clamping
UL 1449 let through: 330V - UL Verified
96,000 amp network-grade AC surge suppression
40-80 dB EMI/RFI filtering
15 amp
Belkin F5C350
1530 joules
Clamping 330 Volts.
Maximum Spike Amperage 19,500 amps.
UL 1449 rating of 330 Volts
3-line protection: neutral, hot, and ground.
35 dB – 59 dB EMI/RFI filtering
15 amp
