Thanks for posting, bummer it's sold out right now. Do you know if it has any surge protection capabilities? If it does, count me in. What an ingenious design.

They make a model with surge protection built in and one without. In-store at a B&M hardware store, the one with surge protection was about $35-40 last time I saw one several months ago.

'Just got a few from Target in their after-Xmas sale.
$6 with the 70% discount.
They're green for Xmas tree lighting.
I can live with that.

I did. No mention of surge protection, just a circuit breaker, so I assumed no surge protection.

and to one also with surge protection for phone line and coax:

Better than the store prices I have been seeing, but not as good a deal as the one in the OP.
