Question 2

What is the clamping voltage on this one ?

Accepted Answer

"Clamping Voltage" is different than "Let Through Voltage".  (I can't explain the difference, I just know from my own equipment that Tripp-Lite publishes both spec.)  Typical clamping voltage on good surge suppressors are 140-150 V RMS with a Let Through Voltage of 300-400 V.

Question 3

What is the difference between ISOBAR6ULTRA and Non Ultra model?

Accepted Answer

I think the NON ultra shuts power down completely when a surge happens, like blowing a fuse.  The ULTRA protects from the surge, BUT still allows power through even if it had already been tripped, leaving tech vulnerable until the surge protector is reset or replaced.

Question 4

What is the protected ethernet? 10/100? or 10/100/1000?

Accepted Answer

According to some of the reviews, this will only work for up to 100Mbit Ethernet, not Gigabit. But if you're using this to protect a cable modem (coax in from wall and out to modem, Ethernet in from modem and out to router), then you shouldn't need anything more than 100Mbit protection.
