Tools and Hardware Reviews of the Smart Strip LCG5 Energy Saving Power Strip with Auto-Switching Technology and Modem/Coaxial Surge Protection
Tool Review: surge suppression that worked
Summary: 5 Stars
With desktop PC plugged into control outlet, Windows "Turn Off Computer.."
also powers off monitors and other peripherals plugged into controlled outlets.
Power cord is substantial enough for a laser printer.
Perhaps 15 years ago, Radio Shack also sold well-built master/slave
power strips, but they are far too easily confused by modern products
with substantial peak current drains when nominally powered off.
Many modern products draw relatively high peak currents with very
short duty cycles. For example, a nominally-off appliance averaging 6 watts
may draw 60 Watts for 1/10 of each cycle of 60Hz power.
All external connections to a system should be surge-protected
at a single ground point; surge suppression on power without phone
and cable asks for trouble.
Our LGC5 phone surge suppressor sacrificed itself during a recent
storm; Bits Support shipped a replacement module free,
even though our strip is well beyond the 2-year warranty.
Replacing those F connector and RJ11 surge suppressor modules
is well within the capabilities of folks comfortable with
screwdrivers and a soldering gun.
