Cable length

The length of the cable used to connect the surge protector to the network.

The longer the cable, the farther from the outlet you can install the device. On the other hand, a long cable can be inconvenient over short distances. Models on a coil are deprived of this drawback (see "Type"), this moment is compensated by the actual presence of the coil, but they differ in large dimensions and heavy weight. So when choosing, it is far from always worth chasing the maximum length of the wire.

Max. energy absorption

The maximum energy absorption provided by the mains filter, namely, the maximum pulse energy at which the device can safely absorb and dissipate it, completely protecting the connected load. The higher this indicator, the more reliable the filter, the more powerful power surges it can handle. In inexpensive models, the maximum absorption is calculated in tens of joules, in the most advanced models it can exceed 1000 J and even 2000 J.

Phone jacks

The number of telephone jacks provided in the design of the filter.

The presence of such connectors means that the filter can also be used to protect the communication line from various interference. Such protection is especially important when sending faxes and connecting to the Internet over a telephone line — these types of communications are quite susceptible to interference. The minimum number of telephone jacks, if any, is 2, input and output. Many filters with this function have 3 connectors — an input and 2 outputs (to the phone and to the computer); There are more, but extremely rare.

Coaxial connectors

The number of coaxial connectors provided in the extension cord. If this is a traditional antenna signal, then only 1 connector is provided at each end of the extension cord (mother or father). If we are talking about connecting multimedia devices using an RCA connection, then there can be 2 or 3 connectors on each side of the cable.
