are all the surge protectors the same? Does it matter what brand to use? This is the one I bought, http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/CyberPower-7-Outlet-Surge-Protector-750/sem/rpsm/oid/163071/catOid/-13011/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
Each one probably has a different electrial rating, but does that really matter? I don't know what any of those specifications mean but I hope my choice won't damage anything, my laptop, stereo, and small tv will be plugged into it. Here are the laptop power adapter specs...input= 100-240v~ 1.6a(1.6a) 50-60Hz and output= 18.5v 3.8a. This is the specs for the surge protector...1250 joules, maxima surge voltage on all household wiring is 6000 volts, clamping voltage= 330 volts, electrial rating= 125v, 15a, 60hz-1875 watts continious and circuit breaker 15 amps. I don't know all this means, so can someone help me out and tell me if this surge protector is okay to use on my laptop. Big thanks!
