Five AC outlets plus two USB ports

This Tripp Lite surge protector provides five NEMA 5-15R receptacles and two USB-A charging ports that share a 2.1 A total output. The 6.0 ft cord ends in a standard NEMA 5-15P plug for 120 V AC circuits. A 450 joule rating and protection across hot-neutral, neutral-ground and hot-ground lines guard connected equipment from spikes up to 35500 A. The unit handles up to 1875 W or 15 A of combined load.

Check your wall receptacle and total load

Verify that the installation location has a grounded NEMA 5-15R wall outlet and that the combined draw of all attached devices stays within the 15 A, 1875 W limit. The 6.0 ft cord length should reach the outlet without strain or the need for an extension cord. Ensure the environment is dry and indoors, as the unit is not rated for outdoor or wet locations. Confirm that the 120 V AC supply matches the protector's voltage compatibility.

Ideal for desk clusters

Home-office users and students who need to power a computer, monitor, router and smaller peripherals while simultaneously charging a phone and tablet will find the outlet count and shared USB output convenient. Builders requiring higher joule ratings for sensitive audio-video racks, server-grade hardware or whole-room protection should consider models with greater energy absorption. Installations needing coaxial, Ethernet or USB-C protection are not served by this unit.

Questions about this item

Does the box include the surge protector and the owner's manual, or do I need to buy a power cord separately?

The package contains the TLM526USBB surge protector with its attached 6.0 ft NEMA 5-15P cord and the owner's manual. No separate cord is required.

Should I choose this 450 joule model or a higher rating for a desktop PC and monitor?

This unit provides 450 joules of AC suppression across H-N, N-G and H-G modes, suitable for basic electronics. Higher joule ratings offer greater energy absorption for more sensitive equipment.

What does the 2.1 A shared USB output mean when I plug in a phone and a tablet at the same time?

The two USB ports share a total of 2.1 A charging current. If both devices draw power simultaneously, the 2.1 A is split between them, so each charges more slowly than if used alone.
