I'm only mentioning this because the guy above you got a downvote... there are surge protectors available with an Ethernet cable pass through to protect against this exact issue. Source.

Here you go - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HPX46U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No matter what length you need, make sure to get the 12 outlet one, since you'll never know what you'll need to plug in

u/Fourthcubix · 3 pointsr/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu
u/hendusoone · 3 pointsr/technology

So... get a surge protector with coax protection. For example: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Protector-Ethernet-Protection-Extended/dp/B000HPX46U

In that case go for a switch like this. Four composite/svideo inputs, no power supply required, and balls cheap.

Component switches seem to be pretty pricey, but there's this one from Monoprice that should be able to do you good for your Wii/PS2/Xbox. If you have a learning remote thingy (like a Harmony or whatever) then you can program it and stuff (though you'll probably still have to get up to toggle whatever system you're going to be playing...so..yea...).

You're going to be running into power issues with having all of your systems hooked up, thanks to the bulky ass bricks so many of them used. Don't be the jack off that daisy chains surge protectors and extension cables, just buy something with decently spaced out outlets like this.

I also recommend labeling the cables on both ends to save on headaches later. Label which switch/port it's going to on the side that connects to the system and label the side that connects to the switch with the name of the system. You don't need to buy Kableflags, but at the very least rig something up with scotch tape and a piece of paper. It's a little redundant, but it doesn't hurt to tape a small piece of paper to the back of the TV / top of the switch / under the switch / whatever with the current, complete configuration of your whole setup, too.

I use two of these power strips, perfect for large adapters.

u/ChaksQ · 2 pointsr/talesfromtechsupport

I use one of these for my A/V equipment that's got spacing for wall warts.

Also if I recall correctly UK power plugs are huge so most wall warts are the size of the plugs. Airz might be from a country that uses those monstrosities.

u/tabatchoy · 2 pointsr/declutter

Maybe invest in a 12 outlet?

u/HerbertGWells · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

There is no such thing. You can just buy a regular power extension that has built-in surge protection. Then you simply plug the PC and monitors into that.

Like this:

A UPS is an entirely different thing altogether. An Uninterruptible Power Supply, or UPS, is a special kind of battery back-up system that is designed to help prevent data loss in the case of complete power loss.

u/iheartaegislash · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I'm not sure. A buddy of mine helped me with my build and told me it was something to watch out for. (Apparently he used to work at office max/depot or something and had a few customers with that happen.) From what I understand, if you have a power strip kind of like this, you can plug the coaxial cable into it and then to your device and it solves the problem.

u/freakingwilly · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Belkin 12 port. Six outlets down the middle for simple plugs, three on each side for bricks.

I got one on my computer, one on my entertainment center, and two more in storage because of sales. Love this thing.

u/StoneColdSteveAss316 · 1 pointr/PS4

It's the Belkin surge protector linked below, I believe it is a real one that protects against surges? Even has a warranty to replace any appliance hooked up to it that fails from a power surge up to a certain limit:

This is the exact surge protector used.

158V was observed with a single 60W load (verified by Logger Pro at a later time) 12V power supply on the opposite side of the plug that was measured. The power supply continued operating as normal when directly connected to the wall, with no odd variances in Vin as compared to the wall.

A second test was run un-loaded. In this test, voltage averaged ~145V over 3 minutes, ranging from 109V to 155V. Another multimeter was used on the second outlet of the same wall plate to verify voltage into the strip. It held constant at 122V +/-1V for the entire 3 minutes.

Load calculations were done on all pieces connected to the power strip, and it was found that the load used was less than the advertised maximum load.

It is also interesting to note that all devices that failed were connected to one side of the power strip. Not all devices connected to that side failed, though, so this may be a coincidence.

All of these tests were either L-N or L-G, I believe that I attempted G-N, but I have no exact information written down, so it was either 0 or at the time I felt it was non-consequential. I will go back and check this value again.

The general consensus so far has been that there is no way that the voltage could have increased from the power supply, so I instead went back and looked at all damaged components. In each of the failed items, one of two items were broken. The first was the fuse on the input voltage. Sadly, the design of the power supplies make it impossible to replace the fuses, they serve as a one-time defence against surges, hence why a surge protector would be handy. The second component was one I could not identify, it was a vertical ceramic disk with 2 wires coming out. It is connected in line to the live line coming into the device. According to the manufacturer, these can be damaged when too high of a voltage or current is attempted to be brought through (Rated for 120V +/-10V, 3A +/-.1A). In 2 devices, a fuse was blown, in 3 devices, the piece mentioned above exploded, resulting in electrical smoke, and in 1 device, both components failed, again resulting in electrical smoke.

I don't think it was just a simple power surge. The power strips I was using weren't super cheap ones, and they do have surge protection. Here are two of the strips that died on me:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/rocketfish-7-outlet-2-usb-surge-protector-strip-black/4689081.p?skuId=4689081


I'm pretty sure they both have warranties where the company will pay for stuff that gets damaged while plugged into them, but that's only for a normal power surge, not faulty wiring. I'm not an electrician, but I wouldn't think that a power surge could cause a wire to break, and in any event my stuff was only damaged after the third time that a power strip died. Also, just prior to the incident that damaged my computer, I was noticing lights throughout the apartment randomly dimming and flickering. I'm almost certain that it wasn't a normal power surge, at least not on the occasion where my stuff was damaged.


In any event, my main argument is the fact that the maintenance guy tested the outlets and assured me they were safe to use, when in fact there was a physically broken wire. It seems like that easily could have caused a fire or something.

When I touch the sleeves of the RCA cables the hum gets a bit louder. It diminished when I touch the ground lug on the preamp or on the turntable, though. I have everything connected to the 8 ft version of this surge protector:

https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-12-Outlet-Protector-Protection-BE112234-10/dp/B000HPX46U

But even when I disconnect every other device (TV, xbox, dehumidifier, phone charger, receiver), it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. My turntable is set up pretty close to all of those things because my room layout kinda sucks, but if they're unplugged then I can't see where it'd be picking up much interference. But as I said, it could also be the electrical wiring in the 19th century house I live in. The surge protector has a light that indicates that the outlet it's connected to is grounded though.

Wondering if a separate ground wire with shielded RCA cables may end up going a long way.

u/LoneKrafayis · 1 pointr/buildapc

I have never liked UPS devices because the batteries go bad every few years. I would suggest a power strip that is designed for entertainment centers and antennas.

u/steveosmith · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

The moral of the story: a good surge supressor should be part of every new build. I use this surge protector. It's great. I don't know that you can have any sort of problem with a surge in your ethernet cable, but this surge suppressor come with ethernet protection. It's such an important investment honestly. I'd rather blow a $30 surge suppressor than a $1,000 PC.

u/BATKINSON001 · 1 pointr/techsupport

The problem is not the computer itself but the battery backup surge protector power bar thing it was plugged into.

I went out and bought a Belkin 4120 joule surge protector from the local Canada computers store (cheaper on amazon):

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000HPX46U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UTkJDbT818SY8

and have not had any issues since.

u/siegewolf · 1 pointr/gaming

I'm sure you know that you can get something quite wonderful for that price. Also, probably figured I should link you to one.

u/chancethebanker · 1 pointr/smallbusiness

what are your thoughts on a strip like this?

Edit: Also what would you recommend for a UPS?

u/Protocol_Fenrir · 1 pointr/buildapc

Reccomendations for surge protectors? I was looking at these two (1, 2), though I am not quite sure what the different in price is for, so I was leaning towards 2, due to the ethernet protection and reduced price.

Will this help? For my country belkin give us insurance if damaged due to lightning.
