Belkin, one of the leading consumer electronics and accessories companies, has launched its new and its latest Surge Protection lineup, further bolstering its commitment to innovation in devices focused on consumer safety and device protection.
Belkin has made it clear that this new and somewhat refreshed line up was pioneered in Australia by the local Belkin ANZ team to ensure that it addresses key local needs, and ensuring Australian consumers have access to the latest technologies, backed by Belkin’s comprehensive testing, certifications and premium design.
Jamie Laing-Reece, Head of Product Management, Belkin ANZ stated at the launch that:
“Surge Protection is one of our most important categories in this region. We know that Australian and New Zealand consumers want their key home technology to be protected, and it’s now more important than ever with the cost of connected devices on the rise. Storms can be wild and unpredictable, so it’s vital that consumers can rely on a brand like ours for enhanced protection and peace of mind”
With this in mind, Belkin have further stated that its new Surge Protection lineup not only shields home and office electronics from potentially dangerous power surges and spikes but also offers a robust Connected Equipment Warranty (CEW), with the CEW going beyond standard product warranties assuring users that their connected devices—be it phones, laptops, washing machines, or TVs—are covered in the event of damage caused by electrical surges or lightning strikes while properly connected to a Belkin Surge Protector and Belkin will replace or repair their connected equipment. With coverage extending up to $70,000 – Of course there are T&C´s with this so it’s worth checking the fine print.
The New Surge protection range come in either 1, 4, 6 and 8 outlet options that delivers up to 1800 joule ratings, fast charging dual USC-C Power Delivery Ports that deliver up to 30W of power shared across the two ports to fast charge smartphones and many other devices, Hardworking MOV’s (Metal Oxide Varistors), 6 or 11 point safety systems, durable and elegant white design and increased Connected Equipment Warranties.
