Tripp Lite SUPER7B – 7‑Outlet Surge Protector 2160 J

Overview

The Tripp Lite SUPER7B is a 7‑outlet surge protector power strip designed to protect AC‑powered equipment from transient voltage spikes and line noise. It is deployed by IT, AV, and facilities engineers in home offices, small office/server closets, and workstation environments where basic line protection is required for multiple electronic devices. It addresses the need to safeguard connected equipment from damaging surges, spikes, and EMI/RFI noise on the mains supply.

This unit operates on North American 120 V AC mains with a maximum line current rating of 15 A and an energy absorption capacity of 2160 joules. The built‑in resettable circuit breaker provides overload protection, and two diagnostic LEDs indicate surge suppression status and proper grounding. The power strip includes a 7‑foot cord with a right‑angle NEMA 5‑15P plug for convenient placement near receptacles.

Form‑factor wise, the SUPER7B is a compact, horizontal strip designed for bench, wall, or desktop placement using integrated keyhole mounting slots. It supports a mix of seven NEMA 5‑15R outlets, including space to accommodate bulky transformer plugs without obstructing adjacent receptacles.

The protector also incorporates EMI/RFI noise filtering up to 20 dB, improving the quality of power delivered to connected devices — a practical feature for networked systems, workstations, and peripherals sensitive to line noise.

In practical use, the SUPER7B is commonly placed under desks, alongside racks, or near workstations to protect computers, printers, monitors, routers, and other AC‑powered electronics that lack built‑in surge suppression.

This product is not suitable for use as the sole surge protection method in critical data center environments or for high‑power industrial equipment; dedicated surge protection and UPS systems should be used for those applications. It also does not provide network (Ethernet/RJ‑45) surge protection or UPS backup.
