Surge Protector TB Energy x5, 1.5 m – 5‑socket power strip with surge protection

TB Energy Surge Protector x5 is a compact 5-socket power strip with built-in surge protection and a 1.5 m mains cable. It provides five grounded outlets for everyday devices while reducing the risk of damage from transient voltage spikes. The product is intended for home and office environments where multiple devices — such as computers, TVs and networking equipment — need a single, protected power source.

Advantages

The power strip combines five mains sockets with surge protection in a single unit, offering a balance of space-saving design and basic overvoltage defence. Its 1.5 m cable allows flexible placement relative to wall outlets, and the grounded sockets ensure compatibility with three-pin plugs. The device is suitable for continuous use with a range of consumer electronics and peripherals, helping to centralise power distribution while adding a layer of protection against short voltage spikes.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This surge protector provides basic overvoltage protection but is not a substitute for an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or industrial-grade surge suppression. It may not be suitable for high-power appliances such as ovens, electric heaters, air conditioners, or equipment that requires dedicated circuits. For sensitive medical devices or critical servers, a UPS or specialised protection with guaranteed clamping performance and response specifications is recommended.

Key specifications

How to use

Place the power strip on a stable, dry surface or mount it near a wall socket where the 1.5 m cable reaches the outlet comfortably. Plug devices into the grounded sockets ensuring plugs are fully inserted. Avoid daisy-chaining multiple power strips or connecting the unit to power strips without surge protection. Do not overload the strip by connecting devices with combined power consumption that exceeds the ratings of the household circuit. Periodically inspect the cable and sockets for damage and replace the unit if any signs of wear or overheating appear.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use the TB Energy Surge Protector x5 for everyday electronics like PCs, TVs and routers to add a simple layer of protection against transient voltage spikes. For critical equipment or where power continuity is required, pair it with an appropriate UPS or higher-spec surge protection device.
