I ordered two of these, and have only used one to date. It's a bit of over kill on my part, as this is plugged into an UPS, so the surge isn't really an issue for me. But I do like the "always on" outlet for I have a router/switch and a UPS controller that stays on all the time, and this allows for them to be connected to the UPS for protection. We have a lot of what we call "whams" here, where the power goes off for a second or less and right back on, and it plays hell with the ice maker, garage door opener, etc. Plan on using the second one in a week or so, and hope it's as good as the first one, as there hasn't been any issues with it at all. Both arrived in good condition, and the one worked just as you'd expect, out of the box.
Tripp Lite TMC-6 Review by PassatDoc (San Juan Capistrano, CA United States)
Excellent, useful, and sleek appearance. I bought this to replace an older but similar Belkin device which ran "warm" (using too much power on idle). Along with surge protection, this device allows you to turn on/off printer, monitor, and two auxiliary outlet plugs of your choice (I use Aux #1 for my speakers). The CPU/computer plug is controlled directly by the Master switch; there is no "Computer" switch on the front of the device. Some people need to keep their computer running all the time (for remote access, etc.), but wish to save power by not running the monitor or printer. Turning the monitor, speakers, and printer on/off is within easy reach on this unit, without having to reach across, over, or under the desk to turn various devices on or off.
A nice feature of this unit is the "always on" outlet, which remains on even when the master switch is turned off. This is particularly useful if you leave your modem and wireless router on all the time, in order to use wireless devices (smart phones, laptops, streaming Netflix, etc.) elsewhere in the home. However, leaving these two devices on consumes 15-20 watts of power at all times. For those who wish to turn off their modem and/or router when their computer is not in use, these devices may be plugged into one of the Auxiliary plugs, so that you can control on/off with the Aux switch.
The former Belkin unit lacked an "always on" outlet, so in order to leave modem and router on all the time, I had to leave the Master switch on as well. I have only one electrical wall outlet at my computer desk, with the surge protector using one plug and a lamp using the second plug. In order to keep the modem and router on at all times with the Belkin, I had to leave the Master switch and the second Auxiliary switch "on" at all times. Eventually the Belkin unit began to run "warm", which means additional idle power was being consumed. The "always on" plug allows me to keep the router and modem powered up while leaving the Master switch and the rest of the device powered off, hence no idle power loss.
The black color matches the black frames of most modern monitors, and the oval bases seen today on most monitors will easily fit on top of this unit.
Tripp Lite TMC-6 Review by JAR
The item is well made. It has an easy to understand hook-up and operation. I would recommend it to friends.
