4-Outlet Isobar Surge Protector with 6-ft cord and
All-Metal Housing
MODEL NUMBER: IBAR4
Description
For more than 20 years, America's leading companies have trusted Tripp Lite's Isobar Premium surge and noise
suppressors to protect sensitive computer, networking and telecom equipment. With more than 18 million
satisfied customers, the Isobar remains the world's #1 selling premium surge suppressor. Loaded with a
generous combination of high quality components, near indestructible all-metal case and unique noise filtration
system, the isobar offers the highest level of protection attainable in a multi-outlet strip. Robust surge
suppression circuits with sine-wave tracking offer extreme levels of protection against the heaviest surge
conditions exceeding IEEE 587 category A & B specifications and reducing 6,000V test surges to harmless
levels under 35 volts. Isobar's unique protection system combines large toroidal chokes, ferrite rod-core
inductors, HF/VHF capacitors and multiple layers of metal oxide varistors into exclusive isolated filter banks that
remove EMI/RFI interference, even noise generated by other pieces of connected equipment. IBAR4 offers 4
outlets arranged in two filter banks to prevent system crashes, reboots and performance problems common as
noisy system peripherals are powered off and on. Surge suppression rated at 3330 joules / 85,000 amps offers network-grade protection. Widely spaced
NEMA5-15 outlets accommodate up to 2 large transformer plugs without blocking outlets. Includes 6 foot AC line cord with space-saving angled input plug and
keyhole mounting tabs.
