I have owned two previously Strip (without surge suppressor), the switches have Laches (1 belkin "5 years see" and another developed supermarket "six months ..."). So back to safe values. This strip is plugged into CPL Netgear XAVB1601 box (it even plugged into a single earth socket). I have 3 permanently connected devices (computer, monitor & speakers), I occasionally connected mobile radiator bath huille 2000w. AND RAS For cons, I have not trendy Lan cables or antenna ..... not necessary for my use (besides, I issue reserves on the effectiveness of these connections which in my opinion can bring interferences).
