What Is The Difference between These Two Power Boards?

BargainCowboy on 30/08/2016 - 07:07

I wanted to use TGG voucher to buy a new powerboard as I need (at least) 6 outlets.
I saw these two, but can anyone point out the differences? I saw one has "Coaxial Protection" but how important is that? Is this just for antennas?

    Coaxial protection is good. Our house was hit by lightning and the TV/STB/VCR we had at the time that weren't surge protected on aerial were fried (they power surge protected only). other items that were coaxially surge protected survived.

      And what if I intend to use this board only for computer-related stuff? Desktop, monitors, etc.?

    The difference is $17.05.

    you can't tell from these links…
    but other than the port differences, sometimes the level of protection (i.e. the quantity of Joules) that the board can protect you from may also be different….. so if you care about this, you need to perhaps read the "packs"

    1) The price differs by $17.05
    2) One has a black colorway on the sides
    3) One model is h4 PPBS6C and the other is PWA04987
    4) One is more streamlined when space is limited

    Powerboards are quite cheap at masters lately…

      No Masters next to me, but maybe I'll try Bunnings. Just wanted to use that $25 voucher… oh well
