Author: Gabriel Torres Date: June 6, 2011 - 10:29 AM PST Category: Power More Info: http://www.thermaltakeusa.com Real-time pricing for Belkin F7C01008 Belkin F7C01008 Conserve Switch Surge Protector with Remote Components SYNX2767259 Electronics Used and New Usual Amazon: $39.99 Newegg: $43.99 Buy.com: $37.99 Office Depot: $63.95 As you may know, most electronic products still consume power when they are “turned off.” (Read our article How Much Power Do Electronic Equipment Consume When in Standby Mode? for an in-depth analysis of this problem.) Some manufacturers have launched products to solve this issue, like the Belkin Conserve line of surge protectors and the PC TrickleSaver. Belkin offers a mode with a wireless remote control, however, you have to manually turn the switch on or off. The PC TrickleSaver has a USB sensor to automatically detect when you turned off your computer in order to remove the power supply entirely from the power grid, but this solution requires a wire to be connected at one of the computer’s USB ports. Also, it only comes with one AC outlet. The Thermaltake surge protector addresses all these issues. It has a USB wireless sensor, so there is no cable running from your computer to the device. And it has four outlets that are turned off remotely by the sensor, so you are able to connect your computer, printer, video monitor, and other external peripherals without having to use any adapter. It also has two outlets that are always turned on and two USB ports for you to charge USB devices such as MP3 players. The surge protector is rated at 1080 joules. click to enlarge Print Version | Send to Friend | Bookmark Article | Comments (0)
