Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin Components F9M923-08 9-Outlet Maximum SurgeMaster
Customer Review: Excellent Problem Solver !!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought 2 of these, and they work exactly as advertised --- One for my computer and it's peripherals, and the other one for my wife's computer and a TV.
I had problems galore with cluttered "power strips" and an old, cheap-o surge protector that was too small.
The Belkin "SurgeMaster" has fixed all that, with NINE sockets (each with a sliding dust cover), phone-line protection, and cable protection, too !! A convenient ON-OFF switch -- and 2 indicator lights let you know when it's turned on. The layout of the sockets is such that there is ample room for those odd-shaped transformers that come with routers, modems, and cordless phones.
The Belkin handled all that stuff with ease, and the built-in wire organizer makes a tidy package of what was once a tangled mess !!
The coaxial fittings let me protect the computer's Cable Modem, and the 9 sockets give me plenty of room for the 3 mini-transformers and the other computer gear, too.
Both of the surge protectors have been perfect for the uses that I put them to --- with no complaints of ANY kind !!
Belkin has been a leader in the low-priced, standard-quality field for years, and the SurgeMaster is another great example !!
Amazon's low price and speedy delivery were extra bonuses !!
UPDATE -- 10 February, 2011 --
2 years later, and they're still working perfectly -- through several electrical storms and power outages -- and nary a problem of any kind !!
I consider the Belkin SurgeMaster a proven success and an excellent value.
Thanks, Amazon !!
Customer Review: Great choice for most Home Theater applications.

And the best price on the market.
I had almost given up on my TV after replacing/upgrading all my cables I still had a lot of interference and less than ideal picture. The only thing remaining to replace was a Proxima surge suppresor. I was amazed after I hooked up this Belkin Maximum unit.
Not only did it completely fix the problem with the DSS/DVD/VCR signal, it also eliminated the contstant "hum" from my amplifier, and the audio is much sharper and cleaner. With EMI/RFI noise suppression up to 70db, I/O for coax cable/Satellite and phone line with 9 plugs, 3 spaced to accomodate brick type AC adapters, this SurgeMaster unit is an essential piece of gear for Home Theater setups with up to 36" TVs. Belkin even provides 6' phone and heavy duty coax patch cables to complete the job.
Forget Monster, there is no way their surge protectors outperform Belkin's product line at double and triple the price. Buy this unit before you even consider upgrading your equipment/cables. I wish I had, but I now have a nice collection of cables laying on my living room floor to remind me that sometimes the best solution is the simplest. BTW, I paid $40 for this unit at a local retailer. $20 is a steal.
Customer Review: Great - Just one question
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this about a year ago from Amazon mostly for the fact that it has 9 outlets. My old surge protector only had 6 and I needed more plugs (Monitor, PC, Speakers, Modem, Router, Printer, wireless mouse). My question would be about the coaxial connectors on the surge protector. I read one review where someone suggested to use them for your TV, but I have cable internet as well and I was wondering if anybody else that has cable internet had their coax running through this surge protector before it goes to their modem, and if they experience any problems with their connectivity from doing so. I had to have Comcast run a dedicated line directly from my modem to the box outside to solve a connectivity issue, so I was wondering if using the coax connectors on this surge protector would inhibit my connection.
other than that one question I love this surge protector, Belkin makes quality products. The angled power plug is nifty too.
Customer Review: sturdy, well-built and effective
Summary: 5 Stars
The Belkin SurgeMaster was a replacement for an APC surge protector that had seen better days. I was a little apprehensive at switching brands, but the price and the other reviews on Amazon convinced me to give it a go. I'm happy with both the look and the performance of this surge protector. Most notably, the outlets grasp the plugs securely (it takes a bit of effort to plug and unplug) and have safety sliders (which are essential for me, as my 2 yr old likes to "investigate" in areas where he is not allowed). The unit's own power plug has its cord angled to the side which makes it easier to plug in behind furniture. The wide-spaced outlets are ideal for those clunky, boxy plugs. I've been using this for about a month now and am very happy with the purchase.Customer Review: great investment
Summary: 5 Stars
who knew this little investment would make such a difference? I learned the hard way. The average UPS has what, a few hundred joules protection against surges? no wonder our file server kept getting hit, in spite of being hooked up to a ups. this little strip here, for less than 35 bucks, offers what, 2500 or so joules protection? so I did an experiment. I put this strip into the so-called conditioned power outlet, then the UPS into this, then the server into the UPS. well, this server has not skipped a beat, while the other servers attached to just a ups have failed twice now. you do the math.
