Guardian 8-Outlet Surge Protector

The Kensington K38218NA Guardian surge protector provides eight AC outlets and a six-foot power cord to expand a single wall socket. Its 1080 joule suppression rating protects connected laptops, televisions and printers from damaging voltage spikes. A green indicator light confirms that protection is active. The unit measures 13.13 inches wide, 6.63 inches deep and 1.75 inches high.

Home office and entertainment setups

This strip suits users who need to power multiple devices from one location while maintaining surge protection. It is not for installations that require a longer cord reach or a higher joule rating than 1080. Buyers who need coaxial or network line protection should look at models that include those features.

1080 joule AC suppression rating

The single specification that determines suitability is the 1080 joule AC suppression rating. It defines how much surge energy the protector can absorb before connected equipment is at risk. Verify that this rating matches the level of protection your devices require.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a power cord separately?

The surge protector ships as a single unit with its 6 ft power cord permanently attached, so no separate cord purchase is needed.

Should I choose a higher joule rating for a home office with a PC and monitors?

This Guardian model provides 1080 joules of surge dissipation, which Kensington rates for computers, TVs and printers in a home or office setting.

How will I know the 1080 J protection is still active after a big storm?

A green indicator light on the strip stays lit while the protection circuit is functional; if it goes out the unit should be replaced.
