8-outlet surge suppressor for office

The Tripp Lite SK6-6 provides eight NEMA 5-15R outlets protected by a 1080 joule surge energy rating and a 140 volt RMS clamping voltage. A 15 amp circuit breaker and three diagnostic LEDs show AC presence, line fault and protection status. An 8 foot cord with a right-angle plug and child safety covers complete the unit.

Practical limits of the 1080 joule rating

The suppressor absorbs up to 1080 joules of surge energy and handles a maximum spike current of 54500 amps. Continuous load must not exceed 1800 watts or 15 amps at 120 volts AC. Protection covers normal mode (H-N) and common mode (N-G / H-G) lines. Once the joule capacity is consumed the unit no longer suppresses surges.

What to verify before ordering

Confirm that your wall receptacle supplies 120 volts AC and accepts a NEMA 5-15P right-angle plug. Ensure the total connected equipment draws no more than 15 amps. Check that the 1.5 by 2.5 by 13 inch housing fits your intended mounting location. The product is designed for indoor use only.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 8-outlet model or a smaller surge protector with fewer outlets?

This unit provides eight NEMA 5-15R outlets with child safety covers, an 8-foot cord, and a right-angle plug. Choose it when you need to protect multiple devices at a distance from the wall socket.

What does the 1080 joule rating mean for my connected equipment?

The 1080 joule rating measures the total surge energy the unit can absorb before its protection degrades. It also handles up to 54500 amps of surge current, shielding computers, monitors, and peripherals from voltage spikes.

How does the 15 amp circuit breaker and NEMA 5-15R outlets limit what I can plug in?

The 15 amp breaker and 120 V NEMA 5-15R outlets cap the continuous load at 1800 watts. The unit will trip if the combined draw of all connected devices exceeds 15 amps.
