Best for vertical flush wall jacksAug 06, 2011
By Tech Reader
This review is being written on Amazon.com 8/6/2011 for the Tripp Lite ISOBLOK2-0 surge protector.

Pro's: metal enclosure, low clamping voltage, high joule rating

Con's: unusual mounting method, bulky, best for vertical outlets

I've used other Tripp-Lite surge protecgtors for many years.

Mounting:
The manufacturer picture does not make it clear how this unit mounts to the wall outlet. As other reviewers have pointed out, the plug on the back of this box is not centered. The box plugs into one of the outlets in a standard wall jack, and the other wall jack outlet is not covered, depending on which outlet you use. The wall cover stays in place, so the surge protector does not mount flush with the wall. A rubber bumper helps keep the box fairly level with the wall. However, the unit still wobbles. The protector is best used on a flush mounted wall jack that is oriented vertically with the protector plugged into the bottom jack. Other outlets, such as horizontal or ceiling mounted jacks (example for a garage door opener), or surface jacks found in some utility areas, wouldn't be the best application. A small bracket helps keep the surge protector in place by attaching to the switch plate cover. However, even with the bracket in place, the surge protector can be removed from the wall jack.

Specifications:
The joule rating (larger is better) is excellent for a small surge protector. The clamping voltage (lower is better) is similarly excellent. The LED indicators for protection present and wiring check are bright and easy to see and interpret.

Other:

A paper sticker on the side of the surge projector states "made in China". Previous other Tripp-Lite model protectors I have purchased were made in USA.

Summary:

The specifications of this protector and reputation of Tripp-Lite for surge protectors make this purchase worth it for me.

Surge protectorJan 10, 2007
By MightyMite
The problems that I had before its use included glitches from power spikes. The product now cleaned up the power to my equipment and I no longer have any power related problems. It is kind of clunky, though, as the thing sticks out so far, but it is held fast using the center screw. I recommend, now, going with the corded model quad; much better.

Ok for surge suppression onlyJan 27, 2012
By B. Stenman
It is a large metal box that connects to the upper outlet with a rubber bumper over the lower outlet. Unlike many duplex surge protectors there is not way to fasten it to the center screw of the cover for the outlet. There is a metal tab that can be screwed to the top of the Tripp Lite surge protector and then lip over the plastic cover plate. Not a very strong attachment point and more likely to crack or break off the cover plate than to keep the surge protector in place.

It is a good surge protector with isolation of the inbound and outbound current. It is a middle tier surge protector that is better than the cheap ones with only a MOV chip soldered to the receptacle which once the MOV chip blows with a surge will channel more current down the ground line which easily damages electronic equipment. The cheap MOV surge suppressors need to have at a minimum a light that lets you know when the MOV has blown. The Tripp Lite Isoblock2 has LED lights and if the red one is ever lit then it is time to dump it in the trash and buy a replacement unit as it will increase the chance of a surge damaging any attached equipment. For the highest level of protection equipment needs to be on an isolated ground as with equipment in hospitals where no failure is acceptable. This would certainly be wise to put into place for expensive home entertainment equipment and provides far greater protection at a lower cost than all the repackaged surge protectors sold by the home entertainment industry hucksters for this use.

I am using this unit to provide some protection for a home furnace's control board from surges from our local utility, PG&E. I would not use something like this for a computer or expensive television as it is only a simple and relatively crude device. The warranty reflects this as it provides prorated protection and mentions covering only up to the cost of the surge protector so don't buy this thinking that Tripp Lite will cover a damaged large screen TV or computer.

For true protection a dual transformer line conditioner is needed to insure both full surge protection and that line voltages are kept within the limits needed for the attached electronic equipment. Only line conditioners like the ones from Oneac or special UPS devices that provide current from the battery which is in turn constantly being recharged will truly isolate the equipment from the line current coming into the building. Only these devices will insure that the minimum voltage needed is being supplied at all times to the attached equipment. Sags are more common than surges and can be equally damaging to electronic equipment and surge protectors like the Isoblok do nothing when this is occurring.

In general it is more effective and cheaper to buy a $250 whole house surge protector and have a licensed electrician attach it in line with the power from the local utility than it is to buy a houseful of individual surge protectors which may or may not protect electronic equipment. A whole house protector also protects the electronics for today's wall ovens and dryers and other appliances which are very expensive to repair and cannot be protected with plug-in protectors like the Tripp Lite Isoblok2 or similar surge protection devices.

Great alternative to corded surge protectorsJan 01, 2011
By David
I use corded surge protectors as well, but I like using this behind my TV/DVD/Cable boxes. I don't need the extra length of an extension cord, so this arrangement keeps everything off the floor. You only need to plug this in to one outlet in your wall, so you can use the bottom outlet for surge protection and still have the top wall outlet for a lamp or whatever. The surge protection has performed well so far. It does have sort of an industrial look (though less so than the black 1410 Joules version), which can be a plus or minus depending on your personal preference.

Using Tripp Lite products exclusivelyMar 16, 2012
By Seeker of Rock
I have an older model IB2-P with the single LED indicator that I use for a Marshall 50-watt tube guitar amp and alternately a Fender 45 watt amp in a small home recording studio. I also have three Isobar 12 rack units in there that I use for a 24 channel hard disk recorder, digital effects and mic preamps. The Isoblok has protected my amps for several years now, and I know that I've had at least one incident regarding power anomalies affect the studio electrical: After a pretty bad lightning storm, my hard disk recorder (temporarily plugged directly into an unprotected wall outlet) had one of its removable Seagate hard drives destroyed, though the recorder itself still seems to operate fine. The rest of the equipment was plugged into my Isobar-12 units and was fine. Maybe that is the day the Isoblok stopped working after doing its job in protecting from a power surge, idk, but that brings me to today.

So, yesterday I noticed that the Isoblok's green LED protection status was not lit. It is behind my Marshall amp, so I don't see it or check it often though I should've checked after the storm. The receptacles on it still worked fine, but the LED "protected" indicator was not on. Figuring the unit may not be actively protecting the amps, I searched into getting a new one. I researched Tripp Lite's site first for replacement or repair, and then called customer service. After briefly explaining what happened, they are replacing the product for me (even though it is an older model) and were extremely professional and courteous about the process. This review of the product and my experience with the company's customer service is a testimonial to why I continue to use Tripp Lite products.

And why did I originally start using Tripp Lite brand? As a home recording hobbyist I have a few thousand dollars of equipment that fill the small recording studio built in my back yard. I had formerly used Furman brand of surge protection products, which seem to be targeted at the home recording market. After coming across a comparison of a Furman rack mount surge protector and a Tripp Lite surge protector by a user that opened both of them up to compare the internal makeup, the Furman didn't seem to be much more than an expansion of outlets, where the Tripp Lite had isolated banks of outlets and a seemingly-more robust internal wiring and protection structure.

This little product has worked for me at least once that I know of, and in my experience Tripp Lite makes some of the best products for what I need. Additionally, their customer support is fantastic.
