Built to withstand demanding environments, this Isobar 6-Outlet surge protector combines robust protection with intelligent diagnostics, delivering reliable power conditioning for workstations, servers, networking gear, and telecommunication devices. Its 3300 joules of surge energy absorption, durable metal housing, and practical design make it an essential component for safeguarding your critical devices and maintaining peak performance across your tech ecosystem.

• Premium surge suppression for sensitive electronics: The Isobar technology is engineered to absorb and divert surge energy while minimizing electrical noise, helping to protect sensitive computer, networking, and telecom equipment from damaging spikes and line noise that can affect performance, longevity, and data integrity.
• Robust 3300 joules of protection: With a high joule rating, this surge protector delivers substantial energy absorption capacity to shield plugged-in devices during power surges, brownouts, and minor transient events, giving you confidence during storms or grid fluctuations.
• Convenient 6-outlet layout with a 6 ft cord: Six outlets provide ample space for essential gear, while a six-foot cord offers flexible placement behind desks, in equipment racks, or under workstations, reducing clutter and keeping cables tidy.
• Right-angle plug for tight spaces: The right-angle plug design lets you position the protector flush against the wall or behind furniture, freeing up valuable outlet space and simplifying cable management in crowded setups.
• Diagnostic LEDs and metal construction: Built-in diagnostic LEDs give at-a-glance status on protection and grounding, while a rugged metal housing ensures durability in demanding environments such as offices, data centers, and labs.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton Isobar 6-Outlet Surge Protector

Follow these simple steps to maximize protection and reliability for your equipment. Begin by choosing a grounded outlet location near your equipment where power accessibility and airflow are unobstructed. Ensure the outlet itself is properly grounded to take full advantage of the surge protection features. Next, plug the Isobar surge protector into the grounded outlet, keeping the unit horizontal and stable to prevent tip-overs or cord strain. Connect critical devices to the surge-protected outlets, prioritizing computers, servers, routers, modems, NAS devices, printers, and other sensitive gear. Avoid daisy-chaining multiple power strips or adapters, and do not exceed the rated load of the surge protector. Regularly check the diagnostic LEDs to verify protection is active and grounded, and if you notice any abnormal indicators, inspect cords for damage or looseness and remove the unit from service if necessary. Finally, in the event of a major surge or electrical storm, consider replacement to maintain optimal protection, and keep the unit in a dry, ventilated area away from heat sources or moisture.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does 3300 joules mean? A: The joule rating indicates how much surge energy the device can absorb before the protection components may require replacement. A higher joule rating generally means more protection for your equipment against larger surges.
• Q: Does it protect Tel/Fax/Modem lines? A: Yes. The Isobar unit includes protection for telephone lines (Tel/Fax/Modem), helping guard against surges that travel through communication cables.
• Q: Is the housing metal? A: Yes. The metal chassis provides rugged durability suitable for office environments, data centers, and workshop spaces.
• Q: What is the advantage of a right-angle plug? A: A right-angle plug enables closer wall clearance and more flexible placement, especially in tight spaces behind furniture or densely populated workstations.
• Q: How do I know the unit is protecting my gear? A: The built-in diagnostic LEDs give real-time status on protection and grounding. If the LEDs indicate a fault or loss of protection, disconnect loads and inspect connections or seek service.
