both ways will do...
the purpose of the earth (green) cable used to ground the surge which isolated from cal-lab units...
so connect direct to the earth pin of 3 pin power socket will fine as well...
u can buy a plain 3 pin power socket to connect the earth wire into...

may i know ur setup for ur networking?
the router located beside ur PC?
and the router only connected to ur PC only which no involved other PCs connection to router?

SF9512DSL / SF9812DSL / IT pack will sufficient to protect ur router and ur PC set...
u can order it now because may going to collect stock for u this week...

SF9512DSL without replaceable module
SF9812DSL with replaceable module (SKPXDSL)

yup... only for tel module...
if power module burnt, u have to replace whole unit instead...
anyway, where u live? if u live along LDP, u can get SF9512DSL if tight of budget...
bcos u can replace it easily by going to bandar utama office...

may i know ur PC installation, do u have any wired lan cable connected to ur router?
if all PC thru wireless and ur router beside ur PC, SF9512DSLMS2+3 fine for u as well, it was the multisocket version of SF9512DSL...


if u required to ur the tel line for ur analog phone and broadband modem, u need SP9201DAF to protect the tel line for analog phone and broadband modem... at the same time u need to protect power line as well, u need MDSC0039...

if ur wireless router connected to single PC thru lan cable, and u relocate the router near ur PC...
SF9512DSL or SF9512DSLMS2+3 or SF9812DSL will be fine...


yes... if u insist to protect tel line only, then u take the responsibility that ur modem may get damage too if surge come from power line... is no caused by cal-lab units failed to protect tel line...

yup... u must ensure ur router, CPU, monitor, speaker, printer, scanner, and other equipments which inter-related must connect all on cal-lab units...

assume there have wrong installation, all equipments plugged on cal-lab except speaker power source come straight from wall socket... if lightning surge come from power line and it will go thru ur speaker, it surge able to bypass into audio jack and ur mobo may damage by surge too even ur CPU plugged on cal-lab units... for the correct ways are speaker must connect onto cal-lab too...

SF9512DSL doesnt come with SKPXDSL module... if it tel module dead, u have to replace whole units which cost u RM25...
SF9812DSL come with SKPXDSL module... if it tel module dead, u have to replace the SKPXDSL only which cost u RM10... but if 9812 power module dead, u have to replace whole unit which cost u RM25...

if no analog telephone nearby ur PC and ur modem doesnt connect another PC for networking
SF9512DSL and SF98123DSL suit for ur requirements


the cable is grounding cable, u can ignore it, it used to connect additional module like SLAN1236

the LED indicate input and output of the power line. if one of LED dead means power module striked by lightning. u required to do. if ur modem no longer to connect to streamyx, then u test with analog phone to check whether have dial tone or not, if buzz sound indicate tel module dead.

dealer should have around Klang Valley, usually cal-lab wont provide them replacement units (recon). because they may sell it same as retail price but it just cost us RM25 only...

yes... can be protect as well...
but all of the equipments must located at the same area/places if the equipments draw the power from multi socket which protected by cal-lab... if assume all of the equipments located all the places, ur equipments still may get damage too bcos of back surge from equipment and damaged other equipments which cal-lab no able to protect...

the repair cost should be RM15 (repair) + RM5 (courier to HQ)


but i recommended u do a call to 06-9517680 for correct procedure before u do any actions, at least do a call that u going to send ur unit for repairing & ask them how the payment can be done (thru bank or cash)
HQ address: 30 Lrg. Kurau 9, Tmn Sg Abong, 84000 Muar, Johor, Malaysia.

SP9201DAF act as ADSL splitter filter, it can protect power and tel line (analog & broadband), but it doesnt come with power protection

For more info, u can refer to here:
http://www.cal-lab.com/warranty-service.htm

either SF9512DSL or SF9812DSL will be nice for u...

do ur router connected to other PCs by lan cable? have any analog phone (house phone) located near to PC?

i no recommended to protect tel line only since the surge may come from power line...
i have a LYN forumer insist to protect tel line only although provided him to my recommendation...
then sorry have to say that he have to bear the risk that surge may come from power line...
at last his modem burst after few months although SP9201DSL still working fine... nothing he can argue...
u can find his post around my thread...

but the LYN forumers who followed my recommendation according to each installation connection, no complaint found..

if u insisted to protect tel line only, as mentioned previous u take the responsibility for the surge may come from power line... cal-lab wont responsible for any damage bcos of ur mistaken, used wrong model for wrong equipments...

i explain from beginning about lightning protection device... i dont have the technical term to talk about this issues

lightning arrestor: it arrestor the certain amount of surge and ground it while detected coming surge; if lightning surge over the limitation, the arrestor components will blow and stop functioning, surge will by pass the components and going into equipments

lightning isolator: it arrestor the certain amount of surge and ground it while detected coming surge; if lightning surge over the limitation, the isolator components will activated and isolate between surge and equipments, for this time isolator components will "self-sacrifice" to avoid surge by pass it and going into equipments

lightning isolator with auto reset: it arrestor the certain amount of surge and ground it while detected coming surge; if lightning surge over the limitation, the isolator components will activated and isolate between surge and equipments, for this time isolator components will going into "self-conscious" to avoid surge by pass it and going into equipments. It may "auto awake" itself after the surge isolate completely or required to switch on/off or plug/unplug it and it may working again. can say that AR version is the model can last very long if compare with other models.

no service center at kuching, bcos their profit margin very low...
even the current financial condition (petrol hike), Cal-Lab still insist no allowed to let the consumers to bear the costs...

any antenna involved ? or any analog telephone nearby ur TV?
if u wanna budget models, SFTV9622FC or SFTV9822FC or SFTV9622FC MS2+3 will do too...
but they only support up to 1000w only... but AV pack can support up to 2000w
the cord estimated around 1.5meter
u have the deliver the damaged cal-lab to HQ for repairing by paying RM15 (repair) + RM5 (courier)... once repaired they will post back to ur front door...

all standard around 1.5m only...
but u can get extension cord to extend the cable length...

SP9201DAF = ADSL splitter filter = broadband and telephone
SP9201DSL = purely for broadband only

no telephone used on ur tel line? just only for broadband?
actually u can ignore the filter... the filter purposely to filter buzz sound for telephone...

May i know how far between your wifi router and ur 2 PCs which wired by lan cable?

how about the distance between the wifi router and PCs? connected by wired lan cable right?

not...
master protector wont be work as efficient and plenty of back surge...
example like locked ur house front gate, but ur house front door, back door, windows, etc no locked...
