The Surgemaster Home Series from Belkin won't be able to power devices during a blackout, but it will protect up to four devices from threats posed by surges, spikes and lightning strikes.
It also safeguards your analogue/broadband modem from similar occurrences.
The Surgemaster comes with a 2metre power cable and a small plastic grip keeps all your cables neat and tidy. It's capable of handling up to 25,000 amps, which should be enough for the average home user.
If you're concerned about power surges but don't require a UPS system, the Surgemaster Home Series from Belkin is a good choice, however its protection capabilities are very limited.
