Equip Teachers and Students with Tech-Saving Protection

In 2018, back-to-school spending broke $82 billion nationwide according to the National Retail Foundation, and 2019 is shaping up to be just as profitable. That number is more than Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Valentine’s Day combined! Computers, calculators, and phones account for a serious chunk of average household spending—roughly $200

And nothing is more disheartening than losing an expensive piece of tech to an unexpected power surge. Therefore, you can give students, teachers and professors the tools they need to protect important data and equipment with a Tripp Lite surge protector.

For the Student

Backpack space is important, and cramming an entire surge protector into one just isn’t practical. That’s why the Tripp Lite SPIKECUBE Series 1-Outlet Personal Surge Protector Wall Tap is an ideal choice for the hectic student lifestyle.

This is a direct plug-in, surge suppressor wall tap providing protection on 1 AC outlet. Its small size makes it ideal for protecting laptop computers, projectors and other portable electronics. A green “Protected” and red “Grounded” LED illuminates to indicate that adequate surge suppression is available.

For the Teacher and Professor

An office computer is filled with important files, and losing those would be a nightmare for any teacher or professor. The Tripp Lite 7-Outlet Surge Protector was designed for small office spaces. 

It offers economical AC surge suppression for the protection of workstations, desktop PCs, telecom systems, and other sensitive electronics. Built-in AC surge suppression shields connected equipment from damage and performance problems due to transient surges. It has 7 total outlets (6 at right angle and 1 designated transformer plug outlet), a 4-foot cord and a diagnostic LED to warn of suppressor damage.

For the Classroom

Classrooms are chock full of expensive tech, and protecting that tech is a top priority for those who rely on it. That’s where the Tripp Lite 12-Outlet Surge Protector comes in.

This surge suppressor has 12 outlets, an 8-foot cord with a space-saving right-angle plug, and diagnostic LEDs. The unit has a surge suppression rating of 2,880 Joules to handle the strongest surges. Built-in RJ-11, RJ-45, and Type F coaxial jacks prevent surges from damaging any connected modems, fax machines, 100Bt, cable, and satellite equipment. If anyone is looking to protect lots of valuable equipment, this is the protector they want.
