SURGE PROTECTOR WITH USB: Consider how many USB ports (if any) you need and pay attention to the Amps. For charging a phone or other small device, only one amp (1A) is needed. However, if you're looking for a surge protector with USB, it is better to purchase one with at least 2A of charging power because it charges much faster.
DATA LINE PROTECTION: Occasionally surges can travel up phone and cable lines to damage the devices connected to them. For devices connected to phone or coax lines, you may consider choosing a surge protector that includes protection for inputs for cable/coax, phone/DSL/modem, and network and ethernet lines.
SAFETY FEATURES: Safety snap/lock covers protect children and prevent objects from coming in contact with unused outlets.
LIGHT INDICATORS: LED lights show you whether the surge protector is properly grounded and when your devices are protected. Surge protectors with Eye Indicator™ technology provide at-a-glance charging status of devices as well. The light shines red when charging, green once fully charged and blue when idle.
