Using it for many yrs. Have been change for 2x and claim for faulty modem. Due to can't protect it. All is complete free. My home network run 7/11. So I would said this pretty reliable and good solution.

I have NAS, modem router etc running 24hr, 365day. The risk is very high. I cannot afford to let the equipment spoil and loose the important data.

So I need something that can guarantee my equipment don't spoil by lightning. But that is impossible. So the 2nd best is, at least I don't loose my money to replace expensive equipment. Belkin offer warranty at least.

So far for 6yrs, change 2x and claim without any question ask. With this long period record proof, I would said this is the solution for me.

I forget what is the name for the belkin. The 1 attach to the NAS and others is similar to the TS picture. Have another 1 double the socket amount is attach to my Audio/video equipment. The surge lightning not just travel at the phone line. It can come from the electrical line and the earth line too. It can KFC anything associated with electrical. Even I kena before KFC my basic standing fan.

I m using maxis line. No fiber. Last time kena is from the phone line and KFC the modem router.

I m not worried about the electrical load. My household consumption way below the max amp permitted. Even if overload, is doesn't cause anything to the equipment that protected. Oh forget, have a UPS to backup the NAS also.

The fuse box doesn't protect the sensitive equipment and surge. It is only basic protection.

I have been using AVR since 14yrs ago. And all my 3set of AVR spoil already. Didn't replace back since the voltage didn't give much problem to me. Unless your housing area is still new.

Most of the equipment with a reasonable price or higher have a wide range of operate voltage. Unless you get the cheap equipment. Even buying an adaptor or power supply, check the spec if it can handle wide range of voltage.

AVR and cal-lab is 2 different kind of thing.

AVR is Auto voltage regulator which use to stabilize the voltage in order not to let it fluctuated too much. Example if you house voltage incoming is 200V-260V. That is fluctuated a lot. So the AVR will stabilize it at 230V +-5%. No matter what the incoming voltage figure.

Cal-lab is same as belkin - Surge protector. It main purpose is to protect any surge like lightning from your equipment. Cal-lab have a better protection than belkin. But beikin have warranty coverage to your equipment. So it is like chicken and egg to choose.

For belkin equipment claim, you need receipt. But their main priority is repair your equipment first if it expensive. If unable to repair, than pay back to you according to market price. Not your buying price. For the belkin surge protector 1 to 1 exchange. You can claim it unlimited of time.

There is many other brand and non brand in the market too. Depend on your wallet.

New T&C?

So which 1 you take?

It doesn't have any different if you live in apartment or house. It strike anything that connect with wire to your equipment.
