The Eaton Tripp Lite SK60C Protect It! is a 6-outlet direct plug-in surge protector designed to protect and power home, office, workstation, and electronic equipment. It combines six NEMA 5-15R AC outlets with 1080-joule surge suppression, two USB-A charging ports, and one USB-C charging port in a compact gray housing.
Surge Protection and Power Distribution
The SK60C connects directly to a standard wall outlet through its NEMA 5-15P plug, eliminating the need for a power cord. Six NEMA 5-15R outlets distribute AC power to connected equipment, while the surge suppression system provides 1080 joules of protection against power surges and spikes.
USB Charging
The unit provides three dedicated USB charging ports: two USB-A ports rated at 2.4A each and one USB-C port rated at 3A. These ports provide charging output for compatible mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered electronics.
Protection and Monitoring
The SK60C includes a 15A circuit breaker and automatic shut-off protection. A green diagnostic LED indicates that surge protection is active. EMI/RFI filtering from 150 kHz to 100 MHz helps reduce unwanted line noise on connected equipment.
Direct Plug-In Design
The direct plug-in form factor attaches directly to the wall outlet with no external AC cord. Its compact design helps reduce cable clutter and is suited to locations where a conventional corded surge protector may be inconvenient.
