Equipped with real protection, it has advantages that off quite unexpected. The protection module is changeable, rather than changing the strip ... and the catch is, besides being fairly spaced, oriented so that the earthing points to the center of the strip. Very handy with all devices with external power directly into the outlet. One last point: small light on / off and the status of the protection. Remains to be seen during thunderstorms, but no doubt it will be able to function without problem, Eaton is more famous than in the middle.
