Essential Kit

It costs pennies more than an average extension socket - a really worthwhile investment in the well being of your equipment. Impeccably made by Belkin with an integrated cable tidy - streets ahead of the rivals.

Expensive but worth it

Expensive equipment, but will protect you computer kit from harm, and any mains power supply failures. I have bought 5 already to protect my USB disk drives.

Please note that there are two types of this SurgeMaster, a grey and a white coloured model. The white model code number is F9G723uk3M-F, and the grey model code number is: F9G723uk3M-F-GY.

The photograph shown here is grey, but what you order is the white model.

Typically Belkin

This is a quality product - it looks neat and durable and comes with all the connectors etc. you need (for the modem connections) to make it work. It accommodates the larger than normal plugs that that have built in transformers and generally ensures a smooth mains input to your PC and peripherals. A must have especially at this price. Typically Amazon in terms of high value and Belkin in terms of quality and looks.

Belkin Surge Protector

Having recently purchased a new computer with a Broadband connection, I wanted to ensure my equipment was protected and decided to purchase the 6 Socket SurgeMaster from Belkin. The unti itself is very well designed with colour coded LED's and two of the six sockets with a swivel function. This is extremely useful when plugging in bulky modem power supplies. The unit has sockets for your modem connection and therefore provides even more security from spikes or power surges. With an automatic £100,000 equipment protection warranty, you can be safe in the knowledge that your equipment is safe. Belkin is the market leader for these products and Amazon had one of the lowest prices all round. Highly recommended product.

Warning! Dont rely on this UPS for anything critical.

When I got the UPS I thought it was expensive but necessary. We'd had several power cuts and I thought I was lucky not to have anything die in any of my systems or had lost any important data.
I was happy that I had ensured the safety of my main workstation. That was until the UPS actually had to do it's job for the first time.
I had the Bulldog software installed and configured but it didn't make any difference. When we had a power cut my system froze - hardrives started going crazy but with a blank screen . After 10 mins I realised that it wasn't going to shut itself down so I had to do it!
When the power cut was over I turned on my PC to find that it wouldn't POST(power on self test). After much dismantling, testing components seperately on another system I eventually managed to get it back up enough to realise that my windows installation was screwed and I had lost 1 hard drive and the onboard LAN (both had fried). The windows installation was totally unrevivable all the system files had got corrupted yet explorer still opened somehow, gutting really as I had software that I couldn't replace.
I replaced the LAN and harddrive and went through the manual and Belkin's website to see what I had done wrong. Checking just confirmed that I had followed Belkin's installation instructions correctly the first time.
To cut a very long story shorter it never once shut down the PC properly. Now, the day after it's third birthday it's died. I cant believe I stuck with it for so long tbh, I suppose I deserve everything I got!(Also I realised that it's died the day after the warranty ran out! (- if I was a cynical man etc...)).
The price to me in total over the years has been 1 PSU, 1 LAN, 2 hard drives, a CPU and several windows installations not forgetting the UPS price tag on top.
The failures may be attributed to other factors but it was always after a power cut that they stopped working and needed replacing, so 1+1=?
And to add insult to injury - the machines that are plugged into a £10 surge protector are absolutely fine even though they were connected to the same ring main the whole time!!!!!!!

Belkin SurgeMaster (4 Socket)

I liked everything about this product - it felt of good quality and it was easy to install - all my equipment was connected within seconds. The extensive warranty against damage to connected machinery is a great benefit as it provides peace of mind. Excellent value for money. I have used Amazon quite a few times now - superb service. Worried about net-shopping? No problemo with Amazon!
