BELKIN Surge Strip Surge Protector - Economy series F9E410sa2M (Unboxing/Review)

BELKIN Surge Strip Surge Protector - Economy series F9E410sa2M. RM59 bought from PC fair. It has a lifetime warranty. If damage either go to the shop that i bought from or call the toll line for replacement. Should the plug be damage you can get a one-on-one replacement. In addition there is a RM1000 coverage should your appliance be damage during lightning strike. The claims will be base on the current market value of your fried equipment.
In addition the plug is 4 socket and can support phone line.

Strangely i could not find this model in Belkin official website. Only can find this model littered over the internet by other retailers....

The back of the packaging stating description


Yellow colour: My economy series protect up to 13000 Amps with a max RM1000 claim. When i buy i did not understand why there is a price segment so i bought the cheapest model. I understand once i read the explanation at the back. Looks like 13000 is actually pretty low!! In the internet the usual lightning can be from 5,000 - 20,000 amps. Or bigger ones up to 200,000amps!

Red colour: Home series up to 25,000 Amps/1181 Joules. Recommend for personal computers, up to 27" TV, phone/fax/modem. Warranty claim RM5,000

Blue colour: Superior series up to 45,000 Amps/1940 Joules. Recommend for Laser printers/scanners, all TV, audio/video components. Warranty claim RM10,000

Mustard colour: Gold series up to 90,000 Amps/3240 Joules. Recommend for professional workstation, home theater systems, Ethernet networks. Warranty claim up to RM25000.

Lifetime warranty

Instruction manual

My modem is protected also. Insert the phone in Input. Output is the cable to the modem.

4 plugs. If you notice there is only 1 switch. A little annoying that there is only 1 switch when I only wanted to restart certain switch at times like my modem when there is suddenly no internet connection.

Links below shows the review when they claim the Belkin warranty. Looks like we should not take for granted that if we have the surge protector that we should be 100% assured that our electrical components will not be fried from lightning. All the user below use more expensive models than me and their computer still has been fried. The claims are valued base on the current market price of your equipment. And general comment is that we should call the local Malaysia office at 1800 81 2076 or +60 3 7983 3010 instead of the international number that route to India or Philippines. Hem... not sure how i am goin to claim mine when i stay in JB though...............
