QuestionWhat does Protected and Grounded mean? I can use this outlet to plug up my computer and T.V. rite? Once I plug my electronics up to this outlet, which one do I put select grounded or protected?
Asked 8 years ago by Yancy.
- Answer Yes, you can plug your computer/tv in the outlet. The Protected and Grounded LED’s you see aren’t buttons; The PROTECTED light on means it’s working. If it doesn’t light, the outlet doesn’t work. The GROUNDED LED lights when a properly grounded AC outlet is detected. If this LED does not light, somethin’s up with your wiring and you SHOULD NOT use it in that outlet.

QuestionWhat is meant by "in wall" for the HDMI cable?
Asked 9 years ago by in55.
- Answer It is used for home theaters and through or "IN WALL" installations of cabling systems for tv's and entertainment devices. If you wire free air (inside the room) then a regular HDMI cable will work. For all inside wall routes you should consult the electrical code to determine the correct classification.The major difference is the size of the wires and the condition of the insulation (flame resistant etc). If your house is burning down because the flames started in a cable raceway and you used the wrong cable in accordance to code then the insurance will fight the claim and you get nothing.

Asked 8 years ago by joel.
- Answer I mounted them behind 3 of my tv's using zip ties. Unless you look behind tv you will never notice them. I also used zip ties to mount the smaller Comcast cable box behind tv.

QuestionWhen I connect it and turn it on, it only lights up protected. Should "grounded" light up as well? Why isn't it? is it safe to use and is it doing its job? It's connected to the only wall outlet available. Thanks in advance to anyone that responds
Asked 7 years ago by dgv911.
- Answer My best guess is that your outlet is wired wrong. I just moved into a house and have been gobsmacked out how many of the switches and outlets weren’t properly grounded. This can lead to fried hardware at best or it can lead to electrocution at worst, as the circuit breaker won’t ever trip to kill an overloaded circuit plugged into this device. Get yourself an outlet tester, or, kill the outlet power at the breaker and look in the outlet, or, hire an electrician to take a look at the outlet. Either way, test and repair if needed ASAP.

QuestionMy cable modem was just toasted by a nearby lightning strike that was on a high priced surge protector. None of the other electronics on the strip were affected. I was told by the cable folks it happens frequently. Is this unit coax protected?
Asked 8 years ago by nickva0517.
- Answer Hello! This surge protector does not count with coaxial protection. The best solution if you're looking for a surge that counts with coaxial protection included and that is in the same price range, would be the following: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/rocketfish-8-outlet-2-usb-surge-protector-strip-black/4689072.p?skuId=4689072 Regards, Daniel T. - Rocketfish Support

QuestionWhat if it only shows Grounded? The Protected led isn't lit anymore?
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer It means that you had a power surge and the device did its job protecting equipment. The downside is you have to buy another because the parts are not user replaceable.
