The short version

The TLP1208SAT is an Eaton Tripp Lite surge protector with twelve 5-15R outlets, arranged as a row of eight plus four spaced for transformers, rated at 2880 joules with an 8-foot cord. It adds coax, phone and 100 Mbps Ethernet protection, EMI/RFI filtering and diagnostic LEDs with an audible alarm. It suits home offices and AV setups, but its network protection is limited to 100 Mbps, so gigabit links should bypass that port.

  • 8-foot cord with a right-angle plug

Common questions

Will the Ethernet protection slow a gigabit connection?

It can, because Eaton lists the network protection as 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet. Connect gigabit or faster links directly rather than through this port.

How many outlets fit transformer plugs?

Four of the twelve outlets are spaced for transformers, arranged in a second row alongside the eight standard outlets.
