Sollatek MultiGuard (MGX-1) MGX-4U – Surge Protector, 1m Extension Lead

The Sollatek MultiGuard MGX-4U is a high-quality 4-way strip that provides full surge/spike protection at an affordable price. The MultiGuard is rated up to 13 amps. It has a 1.0 m cable and is suitable for all equipment including computers, TVs, printers, media centres & monitors.

Spikes/surges are common in every house, office and building. The intensity varies and you never know when that killer spike will occur. Even milder spikes will gradually degrade the reliability of your equipment by repeatedly blowing microscopic holes in electronic circuitry until the equipment is rendered unreliable or non-functional. Data is particularly at risk.

ABOUT SOLLATEK VOLTSAFE™

Voltsafe™ Suppressors are devices that protect against surges, spikes, lightning and in some cases RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and noise. Surge/Spike is a rise or peak in voltage up to thousands of volts and lasts for a very short period of time (milliseconds).

These powerful events can eventually blow out microscopic holes in electronic circuitry causing severe damage or failure. Unlike over-voltage, which lasts longer (milliseconds to seconds to minutes or even hours), you do not need to switch off the mains to protect against surges and spikes. Clamping to a safe level is the method of protection. The level of protection is best measured in joules and there is no complete protection here but the more joules of protection available the less possibility of damage. A standard surge protector can absorb about 140Joules. Other factors are important, as in the speed of response, availability of earthing, etc. RFI and noise is generated by nearby equipment such as elevators, motors, radio-controlled equipment, etc. Whilst surges/spike protection is incorporated in almost all of the Sollatek range of products, Sollatek in addition manufactures the Suppressor range solely for protection against these events.
