Surge Protectors

Using surge protectors and line conditioners can substantially reduce the risk of electrical shock and aid in protecting your Notebook from power-source problems.

During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your Notebook can increase and cause data loss or system damage. Protect your Notebook and peripherals by connecting them to a surge suppressor, which absorbs voltage surges and prevents them from reaching your Notebook.
