THOR B8+ 8-Way Surge Protector with Advanced Filtration ($200K Connected Equipment Warranty)

Power spikes might be the number one force of nature which sends chills down the spines of those who own expensive computer equipment or top-shelf home theatre systems. And for good reason, one bad jolt and you can wave goodbye to your flatscreen or all your data.

Protecting your high-end home theatre and computer equipment makes oodles of sense, and why settle for anything less than the absolute best? The B8+ 8-Way Surge Protector with Advanced Filtration from THOR offers 2 isolated banks of 4 protected and filtered 240V outlets (8 in total) for use with all types of appliances from the kitchen to the office.

Better still, electrical surges are redirected in under a nanosecond and to the tune of 5868 Joules - far better than similar power boards from other brands. Top that off with extra protection for PAL, F-Type and RJ45 systems (rooftop antennas, NBN) plus some cleverly rotated outlets for those chunky power adapters and you have the absolute top-of-the-line in plug-and-play, set-and-forget power protection. It's like insurance for your hi-fi equipment!

Here's what THOR have to say:

There are 4 separate earth lines which is a hum/loop reducing feature. This feature stops component cross talk and ensures isolation between the 2 x AC Banks (2 x 4 outlets) as well as the antenna/F type and Data connections. True circuit isolation ensures best performance for all connected equipment.

If that wasn't enough, THOR also back this power board with a 6-year replacement warranty and $200,000AUD connected equipment warranty for 3 years. Check out the impressive specs below. Don't need quite so much protection? Take a look at the THOR C2+.
