Searched clamping and it's 500v which is not what you want, you want 330 or something

Personally the amazon basics one has a lot of plugs and has the lowest possible clamping voltage so I got that. I followed the train of UL certification for the underlying manufacturer and I confirmed it was there, some company in Taiwan I think makes the Amazon Basics one

Can't post pic so sloppy paste here:

Better Clamping Needed

Should not buy, high clamping voltage (500V) is not good for your valuable electronics
By Vu on January 17, 2022…A good surge protector should have clamping voltage under 400V otherwise surge voltage can still cause damage to your devices.… see more

330V clamping voltage is a requirement if you want something more than just a glorified extension cord!
There are numerous similar devices that do a much more efficient job at protecting your electronics than this one.
Quite frankly, I'm surprised that a credible company such as Anker even sells this one (which is more than likely produced elsewhere)!
I also find it interesting that there's no mention (from Anker, that is) about the clamping voltage or whether or not it has the appropriate UL certifications. It's not mentioned anywhere on the product page or even the instruction manual. This info. shouldn't be a mystery!
Personally, I'm not relying upon customer reviews for this (critical) information, as it may or may not be reliable!
In fact, one reviewer states that the clamping voltage is 775V! That's never the case (at least in my considerable experience with these type of devices).
Regardless, this is obviously a product that doesn't uphold the credibility of Anker (who typically produces and/or sells high quality products). Yet another example of marketing a potentially inferior product under a reputable name!
This occurs much too often, so buyer beware!
I'd also steer clear of "Cyber Power" devices of this type (as recommended elsewhere here), as the quality/safety certifications can be inconsistent from one product to another.
You never want to sacrifice quality and (especially) safety when it comes to these devices by focusing mostly on the cost!
APC is an example of a safer, more consistent, good quality product (at a generally reasonable price).
Tripp-lite is another brand to consider insofar as better quality, safer surge protection is concerned (without spending excessively).

For those interested, this power strip is only certified by TÜV to meet UL 1363.
https://www.certipedia.com/certif...?locale=en

This power strip does not also include certification regarding UL 1449, which would be the additional standard applied to power strips of this type claiming surge protection. Here's an Amazon review [amazon.com] of an 8-outlet APC unit highlighting the appropriate markings. A reputable power strip with surge protection will bear UL listing marks and have them clearly labeled for both standards. The UL molding in the cable in the plug by itself is not sufficient, as you can review from the guidelines here:
https://marks.ul.com/about/ul-lis...h-america/

There really are three steps to this process:
  • First: does the product claim third party listing?
    In this case, Anker does! (They don't in every case) Note that proper labeling is normally required, which Anker typically fails... likely for the reasons to come.
    (Proper labeling is typically seen as those holographic metal foil labels or an integral part of the injection molding to indicate a listing certificate number and/or the appropriate standards)
  • Second: does the third party agency confirm the listing?
    In this case, yes! (See my link to the site above)
  • Third: do the listings apply to the product in question?
    Here is where Anker power products fail most consistently. A power strip with surge protection should have UL 1363 and UL 1449. Anker lacks the latter, which not only makes their surge protection claims suspect (which they also should be given that they exceed those of $100 premier surge strips) but should likely erode trust in their product overall.
With no UL listing for surge protection, this should not be considered a surge protector. When you compare their claims to a highly regarded product in the category [tripplite.com] you start to wonder what else they might be exaggerating... and then you move on from ever buying Anker power products again.

In case you are in need of a 12-outlet surge protected strip sooner rather than later you can get a Cyber Power unit from Home Depot with free ship to store for under $20:

Good luck!

I would stick with triplite. They tend to have the best power strip with a realistic warranty and good MOS transistor. You can't skimp on surge protection for expensive computers, electronics, appliances, etc.. I have a Eaton whole house surge suppressor. Seems to work great so far.

Curious as to where you found the 500V clamping voltage spec?

Would not trust this brand as surge protector. They make good Power Bank but I won't trust them with Surge Protector.

Thanks! I was just wondering, as they don't specify it anywhere (understandable, as it's unacceptable!).
I love this response from them (when questioned about the 500V clamping voltage)....
"That depends on your needs. Check the website for complete information to make an informative decision."
No one "needs" a surge protector with a 500V clamping voltage!

Dunno why everybody's up in arms about the 500V clamping. I also have an APC PH8 and APC PE76 purchased recently in the same price range at 500V.

It's about what you can expect at this price range.

If you want 330V, you're going to have to pay a significant price premium.

Do I need a surge protector if I live in California?
