## Description

3-Outlet Surge Protector with USB Charging Safeguards Your Sensitive Electronics Ideal for use in a hotel, airport, conference room or anywhere else you use your laptop, this Protect It! surge protector features a surge protection rating of 1050 joules to defend your valuable electronic components against power surges and spikes. The 18-inch (45.7-centimeter) AC power cord with right-angle NEMA 5-15P plug connects to a wall outlet and conveniently wraps around the unit for easy storage when not in use. NEMA 5-15R Outlets Accept a Wide Range of Electronic Devices Plug your laptop, printer, external hard drives and other portable electronics into three NEMA 5-15R outlets to protect them against dangerous surges, spikes and line noise. One outlet is set apart to accommodate a bulky transformer without blocking the other outlets. Premium Protection from EMI/RFI Line Noise Helps Your Equipment Perform Better This surge protector filters out disruptive EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference) line noise that can disturb your electronics and inflict hardware damage or data loss. This EMI/RFI filtering also helps your connected components perform better and last longer. USB Charger Keeps Mobile Devices Ready for Use Two USB-A ports are available for charging your smartphone, tablet. MP3 player or other USB mobile devices. They share 2.1A for charging multiple devices at the same time. Includes the Latest Safety Features to Maintain Your Equipment’s Well-Being A green LED confirms at a glance that your equipment is protected. Automatic shutoff permanently cuts power to outlets if the protection circuit is incapacitated, preventing equipment damage and indicating replacement is required.

Review: TRAVELER3USB: great surge protector, good USB charger, good price, very portable - Tripp Lite 3 Outlet Portable Surge Protector with 2 USB Charging Ports (2.1A total), 18 in. Cord I bought this so my college student could protect their computer as they moved around campus, and charge their USB devices also. In use a couple months. I've used Tripplite surge protectors for years, and recently researched the latest UL 1449 edition 3 changes (ok, that edition came out in 2008; sorry for the delay). My general surge protector buying advice: 1. Look carefully for a low number for Voltage Protection Rating (VPR, which is new terminology in the edition 3 spec). This is often called the let-thru or clamping voltage. Lower is better; less voltage from the surge reaching your equipment. 400 Volts VPR is the best i've seen. TRAVELER3USB has it. I don't know how critical it is to protect all three wires (Line to Neutral, Line to Ground, Neutral to Ground) but i'd rather have them all protected. TRAVELER3USB protects them all at 400 V. 2. Get high enough Joules rating. Some surge protectors are only 200-780 Joules. I'd buy 500-1000 Joules if the price was low. I'm satisfied with 1050 Joules in the TRAVELER3USB. 3. Don't buy something unless you check 1 and 2 above. No specs? Don't buy. Junk likes to hide specs. Sometimes you may have to check the manufacturer's site to find all the specs. Tip: it's a good sign, though not a quality guarantee, if the online description and/or back of the product (sometimes visible in online pictures) says Type 3 SPD (Surge Protective Device), Voltage Protection Rating X (L-N, L-G, N-G). Type 3, SPD and VPR are terminology new to edition 3 of UL 1449. 2nd edition and earlier were called Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors and they had a less rigorous test. You have to trust the manufacturer that they have a legitimate, not counterfeit, UL 1449 rating. 4. Indicator light that protection is still working (the MOV's aren't burned out). The Tripplite TRAVELER3USB is good on all of the above. It also has protected equipment insurance and a limited lifetime warranty. If the "Protected" light ever goes out on the Tripplite, I plan to call for a warranty replacement (not 100% sure they'll replace it, but I thought I saw an desertcart review somewhere that said they did). If you are an desertcart Prime member, and don't need portability but would like more outlets, consider the APC P8U2, 8-Outlet Surge Protector 2630 Joules with USB Charger Ports. It has a better/higher Joule rating, but the VPR is not as good: L-N rating of 400V, L-G and N-G 500V.
Review: NO GOOD. Blew out my hotel room’s power!! - Actually this is a zero star review. I bought this, at The NY Time’s Wirecutter recommendation, for the surge protection. Ha! The first day I tried to use it, I plugged it into a plug adapter, then into the plug in a Tanzanian hotel, it sparked and blew out the power to my hotel room. Now it doesn’t work - it never worked. The plug adapter still works. The hotel had no problem turning the electricity back on for me and that plug still worked. But the Trip Lite failed. And I wasted my money; I can’t return it because I’m on a month long trip in East Africa and past the return window.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Charges two phones and is great for travel
*by J***D on April 19, 2012*

I've seen some people complain that the USB ports aren't powerful enough to charge multiple devices (mostly involving tablets), but my girlfriend and I both charge our smartphones with this every night and it works fine. I have an HTC Sensation and she has an iPhone 4. It's only rated for 1 Amp between both devices so it probably doesn't charge as fast as two OEM chargers would, but since we leave them plugged in all night anyway they always get a full charge. It also makes it much easier when we travel. Instead of having to keep track of multiple chargers we can just take this along and it works for all of our gadgets. We can charge phones at night, cameras and other stuff during the day, and plug both our laptops in as needed. This has the added benefit of surge protection for all our expensive electronics wherever we go, since hotels rarely have surge protectors. It has solid construction and wraps up nice and compactly. Overall a good product and highly recommended.
