What this is

The Tripp Lite TLP88TUSBB is an eight-outlet surge protector designed for home or office electronics. Two integrated USB ports provide convenient charging for phones and tablets without extra adapters. An 8.0 ft cord offers flexible placement away from the wall socket.

The spec that decides fit

The AC suppression rating is 1200 joules, which sets the energy absorption capacity before the protector must be replaced. Eight NEMA 5-15R outlets accept standard North American plugs, and the unit handles up to 1875 watts at 120 volts.

Who this suits, who should look elsewhere

Builders protecting a desktop, monitor and peripherals from voltage spikes will find the outlet count and joule rating appropriate. Users needing coaxial or Ethernet line protection, higher joule ratings for whole-room coverage, or USB-C charging should consider other models.

Questions about this item

What does the 1200-joule rating mean for everyday use?

The 1200-joule rating shows how much surge energy the unit can absorb before it stops protecting; higher values handle larger or repeated spikes better.

What does the UL 1449 3rd Edition certification cover?

UL 1449 3rd Edition verifies the protector meets safety and performance standards for surge suppression, including clamping voltage and endurance tests.

How much space does the 1.30 by 3.78 by 9.10-inch housing need on a desk or wall?

The strip measures 1.30 inches high, 3.78 inches wide and 9.10 inches long, so allow at least that footprint plus room for the 8.0-foot cord and plugged-in devices.
