Monoprice 115870 12 Outlet Surge Protector 10ft 4230 Joules

12-outlet surge protector for workstations

This Monoprice 115870 unit provides twelve surge-protected outlets in a slim form factor. It is suited for workstations, printers, broadband modems and home theater systems. The 4230 joule rating absorbs large spikes from lightning or grid events. A grounded-and-protected indicator confirms active defence at a glance.

Sliding dust covers and a heavy-duty 10-foot cord

Each outlet has a sliding safety cover that blocks dust, debris and child access when not in use. The 10-foot power cord uses 14AWG copper conductors rated for the full 15-amp / 1800-watt NEMA 5-15 capacity. This length and gauge let you reach distant wall sockets without voltage drop or overheating risk.

4230 joule energy rating

The single figure that decides fit is the 4230 joule surge capacity. It determines how much transient energy the strip can absorb before it must be replaced. Buyers protecting sensitive rack gear or high-value AV equipment should verify this joule level meets their insurance or spec requirements. Installations needing a higher joule rating or a built-in circuit breaker will need a different unit.
