Tripp-Lite TLP606DMUSB review: This surge suppressor clamps to your desk

I don’t usually review surge protectors, in part because I don’t have the facilities to evaluate how capable they are of protecting connected devices from dangerous power surges. But I decided to take a look at this Tripp-Lite model because of its great feature set.

The Tripp-Lite TLP606DMUSB's most compelling feature is a robust clamp that allows you to attach the outlet strip to the edge of your desk. The clamp needs a surface that’s at least 0.4 inches thick to secure itself to, and the edge of that surface would ideally be at least 2.0 inches deep (the top of the clamp is a little more than three inches wide).The clamp can accommodate a surface as thick as 1.6 inches.

The Tripp-Lite TLP606DMUSB is outfitted with a hefty clamp to secure it to the edge of your desktop.

Once you tighten the strip’s two heavy-duty knurled knobs to grip the edge of your desktop or table, it won't come loose no matter how hard you pull on it. Thick rubber pads on each of the clamps protect whatever surface it's attached to.

Because of the way the clamp functions, the strip's outlets are oriented at a 90-degree angle to your work surface. This limits where you can mount the strip. I mounted it on the chair side of my desk, because I’m constantly plugging and unplugging devices while I test products.
