recommended to protect power and tel line at the same time...
u can ignore the insurance if ur installation was correct and used correct model for correct equipments...

what is ur complete equipments list for ur PC? 1 set of modem and 1 set of PC? no other PCs involved in ur networking? have any telephone near by ur PC?

all equipments located at the same rooms?
have additional wired lan cable PCs connected to 8port switch?
house phone located near to ur PC?

if possible draw a equipments connection diagram will better for me to do recommendation easily...

u just need MDSC0039 and SP9201DAF
but the another issues are the another PCs that connected to ur switch...
there may have possibilities that surge brought from another PCs going into ur switch and damage ur PC as well...

u can get 2 unit of MDSC0039 as well if both of the power sockets located at different places...
and the SP9201DAF will replace the ADSL splitter filter...

FYI, cal-lab wont responsible if any damage found for wired cable to another PCs

u means the switch ?

u means connect to other PCs/Laptops?

i think his PC should located together with switch...
and refer to post 569 and 572 that he agreed no to protect other PCs which connected to switch...
cal-lab wont responsible for any damage that surge may come from other PCs as i PMed to him earlier...

u required IT pack, it have 4*3pin & 3*2pin power socket and support for ADSL connection

about the performance, i dont talk about the belkin, just talk about the cal-lab...
Cal-Lab have US Patent, China Patent and Malaysia Patent... FYI, US Patent very difficult to obtain because US very strict to understand & explain how it work and why it different with other lightning protector... In another words, if the person who owned the Patent, only he/she allowed to use the technology on his/her product, and other competitors no allowed to use the technology since Patented... so belkin doesnt using Isolator method, i think remain as Arrestor method...

FYI, u can refer to Post #1... even video clips included there and better understanding...

RM123, no yet discount for u...
cheaper and better technology than belkin...
since is cheap, cal-lab no able to absorb all the damage found on cal-lab units...
there have replacement cost to change working units on the spot...

Cal-Lab is lifetime service warranty...

even u used Cal-Lab for 10 year and damaged... the maximum cost u have to pay just RM25 to get a working unit again... rather than u pay another RM100+ for new units again... but if unlucky that lightning strike once u installed (even used few minutes only) and damaged, u have to pay for the replacement cost also... at least cal-lab confirmed 99.9% equipments will be safe (if proper installation)... so there have the issue between RM25 VS value of your equipments... which u prefer?

i admit that belkin offer 1 year(i think so) FOC warranty if any damaged found... if used more than 1 year and damaged? have to buy new set of belkin which cost u RM100... can belkin 99.9% guarantee equipments un-harm? only the users know... Cal-Lab's performance? check my thread or PM to the forumers who bought Cal-Lab from me... u can get the real result rather than Cal-Lab appraise themselves to mention how good is their products...

have connect any astro devices or antenna?
any telephone nearby ur entertainment equipments?


that depend, if ur area very prone with lightning, maybe every week or every months have to replace the unit?
it can support up to 10A, enough for 2000w equipments....
also depend on ppl's preferences, some ppl prefer branding and FOC warranty, some ppl looking at its effeciency...

if involved astro...
recommended to get SFTV9622FC (power+astro+telephone+antenna)
if looking for budget... only MDSC0039FC (power+astro)

definitedly will provide discount for u if order few units together...

if ur installation was correct and not back surge connection...
ur entertainment system can use SFTV9622FC or SFTV9622FCMS2+3 or SFTV9822FC
ur PC system can use SF9812DSL (recommended), SF9512DSL, SF9512DSL MS2+3

sorry for late reply... buzy for work today at outside... no time to surf LYN...

happy to heard that ur equipments saved by cal-lab which the surge most probably come from power line...

u can replace the damaged cal-lab units with showroom which located at Bandar Utama...
the replacement cost are RM25 to get another new working unit...

may i know for what equipments u tended to protect?

recommended to get the power source protection as well... the surge may come from power line and strike ur modem even though ur modem tel line protected by cal-lab... in facts we have few cases that power line can bring surge...

FYI, SP9201DAF act as ADSL splitter filter...


the models required to be ground are SP9201DSL, SP9210DAF, MD-FC, MD-BNC, MDTV9922, etc which doesnt come with power source protection and no able to isolate the surge into earth... if the models come with power source protection and the surge able to isolate thru the power cable and going into earth... that the reasons are recommended to ground the grounding wire (if any) into any earth point or 3pin power socket's earth pin, otherwise the isolated surge no where to go and cal-lab unit chosen self-destruct to protect equipments effectively

performance are same, only used for different usage...
SP9201DSL: for modem only (NOT for telephone usage)
SP9201DAF: for modem and telephone (ADSL Spliter Filter)

possible draw a connection diagram between PC, modem, ADSL spliter filter, telephone? include the distance between equipments will be better... do ur networking involved more than 2 PCs?

i recommend the combination of MDSC0039 + SP9201DAF will be the best if ur modem and telephone located at the same island...

can be either SF9512D or SF9812D... (if ur alarm system have 3 pin power socket and RJ11 connector)
protect the power source and tel source...
