Details
On top of the unique, improved industrial design of this product, Flexity boasts of its superior technology. This surge protector circuits make use of Ultra-MOV technology which, they claim, improves the surge protection and heat dissipation by 27% over traditional Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs). Their Ultra-MOV can protected against 3240 Joules of electrical power. The Surge3000 also features EMI/RFI filters (which they have branded Purestream) to reduce the harm cause by electro-magnetic interference. Rounding out its surge suppression technology include a "TripWire" feature that physically severs the circuit in the event of a catastrophic power event like a lightning strike, and a bank of communications outlets to protect your DSL, cable, or dial-up internet connection.
The Surge3000 is available in a black model and a white Calamari SQ3K edition retailing for $75 and $85 dollars. The Calamari edition has all of the same features as the standard model plus two Neon glowing female outlets, a 360° Swiveling flat profile plug, a more powerful Purestream Filter (58 dB compared to 40 dB), and an audible alarm indicating power faults.
