hey guys i am planning to invest in a nice surge protection for my pc peripherals the surge protector needs to protect my logitech x530 5.1 speakers and my airtel modem :D

my monitor and the computer is connected to apc 550 RS back ups so i needn't worry about it

i was thinking of buying belkin so how good are their surge protectors ?

also which model should i buy
 
Haven't used one but users hold a pretty good opinion on the build quality and performance of their surge protectors. However, I recall an instance wherein one of the members of the forum reported that the Neutral and Live terminals were interchanged inside the surge protector thereby resulting in some earthing issues.

I am using 2 surge protectors from MX and have had no issues by far.
 
I bought 1 from MX and 1 from Belkin at the same time. Belkin is still working as new. In MX the pin slots have become loose resulting in sparks, loose contacts and LED lights flickering. Ofcourse Belkin is priced higher hence the quality. btw these were bought approx 2.5 years back
 
my budget is restricted to 700rs so which model do you think i should go for ? remeber all i need to protect is my airtel modem and my X-530 5.1 speakers :D
 
Belkins are good but problem is one switch will work for all plugs.

If you plan to use only 2 plugs, other 2 devices are also powered on for no use.

MX is good as they have individual plug with individual switches.
 
ok guys did a little snooping in ritchie street the 6 socket model cost around 550 and the 3 socket model costs around 325 should i go for it the premium one can be had at 1300rs so which one should i go for ??

Any Belkin Model with individual switches for each socket. All I can find is single switch to on/off for all sockets.
