Compact Surge Protection for Workstations

The Monoprice 115872 provides eight surge-protected outlets in a compact form factor suitable for workstations, printers, broadband modems and home theatre systems. Sliding safety covers on each outlet block dust and help prevent accidental contact. It is designed for indoor use where multiple devices require reliable surge suppression.

Joule Rating and Circuit Limits

The unit absorbs up to 3420 joules of surge energy before protection degrades, a finite capacity that diminishes with each significant event. Its 14 AWG cord supports the full 15-amp, 1800-watt rating of a standard NEMA 5-15 circuit, so total connected load must stay within that limit. It does not increase the circuit's capacity or provide battery backup during outages.

Ground and Protection Indicators

Two LEDs show whether the wall outlet is correctly grounded and whether the surge protection components are still active. If the protection light extinguishes, the suppressor has sacrificed itself and the strip must be replaced to restore surge defence. This indicator is the single specification that confirms ongoing safety for connected equipment.

Questions about this item

Does the 115872 come in other outlet counts or joule ratings?

The 115872 model is offered as an 8-outlet unit rated at 3420 joules with a 6-foot cord; no other outlet counts or joule ratings are listed for this part number.

What does the 3420-joule rating actually protect in a typical setup?

A 3420-joule rating means the suppressor can absorb up to 3420 joules of surge energy over its lifetime, shielding connected workstations, printers, modems or home-theatre gear from spikes and lightning-induced transients until the internal components wear out.

What does the NEMA 5-15 / 15-amp limit mean for real-world loads?

The NEMA 5-15 plug and 14 AWG cord are rated for 15 amps, so the total connected draw must stay at or below 1800 watts; exceeding that will trip the branch breaker or overheat the cord.
