Surge protector Philips SPN3140A/60 — 14 outlets, 60 Hz

Philips SPN3140A/60 is a surge protector with 14 outlets designed to provide overvoltage protection and convenient power distribution for multiple devices. Operating at 60 Hz, this unit centralizes power management for home or small office environments, allowing connection of computers, monitors, printers, routers and other peripherals while helping to reduce the risk of damage from transient voltage spikes.

Advantages

The design provides a high number of accessible outlets to connect numerous devices simultaneously while minimizing cable clutter. Built-in surge protection reduces the likelihood of equipment damage from short-lived power spikes, and the 60 Hz rating ensures compatibility with systems and appliances that require that mains frequency. The compact form factor permits placement on or under a desk, while spacing between sockets accommodates larger power adapters.

Suitable for

• Home office setups with multiple peripherals (PC, monitor, printer, modem)
• Small business workstations and shared equipment areas
• Entertainment centers with TVs, set-top boxes and audio components
• Charging stations for phones, tablets and rechargeable devices
• Temporary workshop power distribution for low-voltage tools and chargers

Key specifications

• Number of outlets: 14
• Operating frequency: 60 Hz
• Form factor: multi-outlet surge strip for horizontal placement
• Outlet spacing: mixed spacing to accommodate standard and bulky adapters
• Protection type: surge/overvoltage protection for connected devices
• Ideal use environment: home and small office

How to use

Place the surge protector on a stable, dry surface away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture. Plug the unit into a properly grounded mains outlet and then connect your devices to the available sockets, avoiding overload by checking the combined power draw of connected appliances. Power on connected equipment after the surge protector is plugged in. If the unit includes an indicator for protection status, verify that the indicator shows the protective circuitry is active before relying on surge protection.

Recommendations

Position the surge protector where airflow is not restricted and avoid stacking heavy objects on top. Do not use the unit with appliances that draw high startup current beyond the device's rated capacity. For critical or high-value electronics, combine this surge protector with additional backup solutions such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against extended outages and voltage variations.
