Tripp Lite by Eaton Hospital-Grade Surge Protector with 6 Outlets and 10 ft Cord

Engineered for healthcare environments, the Tripp Lite by Eaton Hospital-Grade Surge Protector delivers robust, reliable protection for sensitive electronics in non-patient-care spaces. In clinics, laboratories, imaging support areas, and administrative zones, this surge protector serves as a centralized power-distribution hub that defends devices from damaging power surges, spikes, and transient disturbances. With six hospital-grade outlets and a long 10-foot cord, it offers flexible placement to keep essential equipment powered and organized. Built to meet hospital-grade standards, this unit is trusted for uptime and safety in demanding healthcare workflows, where every connection matters and downtime can impact patient care indirectly by slowing operations. Note: designed for non-patient-care areas, not intended for patient-care rooms.

Protecting equipment is more than just plugging in devices; it’s about safeguarding data integrity, extending the life of critical electronics, and maintaining uninterrupted administrative and support operations within healthcare facilities. The Tripp Lite hospital-grade surge protector is purpose-built to mitigate the risks posed by electrical disturbances produced by heavy equipment loads, HVAC cycles, lighting changes, and other electrical noise common in medical facilities. Its design reflects the priority healthcare providers place on reliability, ease of use, and safety, ensuring that computers, monitors, printers, diagnostic accessories, and charging stations operate within a safeguarded power environment. By combining hospital-grade outlets, stringent safety standards, and a practical cord length, this surge protector aligns with the needs of busy hospital and clinic workspaces while remaining compliant with safety guidelines for non-patient-care areas.

• Six hospital-grade outlets: This surge protector offers six durable, hospital-grade outlets designed to withstand frequent plugging and unplugging, ensuring secure connections for workstations, printers, diagnostics accessories, and administrative devices. The layout accommodates multiple cables without crowding, simplifying cable management in crowded nurse stations, IT closets, and lab workbenches. The hospital-grade contacts provide a tight, secure fit that resists accidental disconnections during busy shifts, helping to reduce downtime and protect critical equipment from power-related issues.
• 10-foot power cord for flexible placement: A long 10-foot (3.05 m) cord provides generous reach, allowing you to position the surge protector where it’s most convenient—across desks, carts, racks, and wall-mounted setups—without forcing you to relocate devices. The extended cord helps minimize chord clutter on busy work surfaces and can accommodate layouts in small clinics, imaging support rooms, and back-office suites where outlets may be differently spaced. This flexibility supports safer, cleaner power management in high-traffic healthcare environments.
• 1050 joules of surge protection: With a substantial 1050 joules rating, this unit buffers against voltage spikes and transient disturbances that can compromise sensitive electronics. Protecting devices from spikes caused by equipment startups, power cycling, or switching transients helps prevent data corruption, unexpected reboots, and premature hardware failure. The energy absorption capacity provided by 1050 joules offers a reliable baseline for a broad range of devices commonly used in healthcare facilities, ensuring you have a dependable line of defense in non-patient-care spaces where multiple devices share the same power circuit.
• UL 1363 hospital-grade listing: The surge protector carries UL 1363 certification, a standard that reflects battlefield-tested safety and performance requirements for hospital-grade equipment. This listing gives facility managers confidence that the device meets stringent durability, insulation, and protection criteria essential for medical environments. The UL 1363 designation also supports ongoing compliance with safety procedures, maintenance workflows, and procurement guidelines that prioritize trusted, industry-recognized equipment in hospitals and clinics.
• Designed for non-patient-care areas: This model is intentionally specified for non-patient-care spaces, such as administrative offices, IT rooms, laboratories, and storage areas. By keeping this unit out of patient-care rooms, facilities can maintain proper safety protocols while still delivering reliable surge protection where it is appropriate. In practice, this means you can centralize protection for devices like workstations, imaging-support peripherals, and charging stations in controlled zones, reducing risk to equipment and supporting clean, safe, and compliant clinical environments.

How to Install Tripp Lite by Eaton Hospital-Grade Surge Protector

• Choose a safe, ventilated location in a non-patient-care area with easy access to a grounded wall outlet. Ensure proper clearance around the unit to allow heat dissipation and easy access to the outlets.
• Place the surge protector on a stable surface or mount if the design supports it, keeping cords organized and out of walkways to prevent trips and accidental pulls.
• Plug the surge protector into a grounded AC outlet using the full 10-foot cord. Confirm that the outlet and circuit can handle the total load of connected devices without tripping the breaker.
• Connect up to six devices with hospital-grade plugs into the six outlets. Distribute loads evenly across outlets and avoid overloading a single circuit or outlet group to maintain optimal protection and performance.
• Regularly inspect for signs of wear, heat, or damage to the cord or housing. If damage is detected, discontinue use and replace the unit. Remember, this surge protector is intended for non-patient-care areas and should not be used in patient-care rooms.
