Overview
- The Belkin BSV401au2M surge protection strip safeguards your valuable electronics and data from dangerous power surges, lightning strikes, and voltage fluctuations. With four protected AC outlets and two fast-charging USB ports, it provides a simple, effective solution for home and office environments.
Featuring 525 joules of surge protection and three-line AC defence, this strip guards against surges occurring between hot, neutral, and ground lines. Oversize metal oxide varistors absorb excess electricity, whilst fiberglass MOV covers help contain fire risk from large surges.
The 2-metre heavy-duty power cord allows flexible placement away from the wall outlet, whilst damage-resistant housing protects internal circuits from impact, fire, and rust. A large recessed power switch prevents accidental shutdowns, and a Not-Grounded indicator alerts you to improper outlet grounding.
Backed by a $20,000 Connected Equipment Warranty, Belkin will repair or replace equipment damaged by electrical surges or lightning whilst properly connected to the strip.

FAQs
What is the difference between surge protection and power conditioning?
Surge protection (like the BSV401au2M) guards against sudden spikes and dangerous power surges from lightning or electrical faults. Power conditioning is broader, managing ongoing voltage fluctuations. This Belkin strip protects against both sudden surges and low-level spikes that damage electronics over time.
How many devices can I safely connect to this surge strip?
The BSV401au2M has four AC outlets and two USB ports, providing connection points for up to six devices. Ensure total connected load does not exceed the strip's capacity; check device power requirements to avoid overloading.
What does the $20,000 Connected Equipment Warranty cover?
The CEW covers repair or replacement of electronic equipment damaged by electrical surges or lightning strikes whilst properly connected to the strip. This covers equipment plugged into the AC outlets or USB ports. Refer to warranty terms for exclusions and claim procedures.
Can I use the USB ports to charge whilst AC outlets are in use?
Yes. The four AC outlets and two USB ports operate independently. You can charge devices via USB (at 2.4 amps each) whilst simultaneously powering AC devices through the protected outlets.
What does the Not-Grounded indicator mean?
This indicator warns when your wall outlet is not properly grounded, which reduces surge protection effectiveness. If this light is on, contact a qualified electrician to check your outlet wiring before relying on full surge protection.
Is the 2-metre power cord long enough for most setups?
The 2-metre cord provides sufficient reach for most home and office situations, allowing the surge strip to be positioned away from the wall outlet. If you require greater distance, use a certified extension cord, though this may reduce surge protection effectiveness.
How do I know when the surge protection has been compromised?
The Belkin BSV401au2M does not have a visual indicator that surge protection has been depleted. After a major surge event, it is recommended to replace the strip to maintain full protection.
