Can i attach this to a surge protector?

Of course you can attach to a surge protector but the main purpose of this outlet extender is to angle up and provide outlets that extend up instead of straight out from the wall. Especially useful behind a sofa, etc.

Yes. Just don't plug in 3 heavy duty things at the same time and overload your circuitry.

Yes, just flip it over and grasping the opening with your thumbs, you should be easily able to fit a surge protector cord in the opening. I am very happy with mine. Hope this helps.

I have not had a problem with this surge protector. I have all my computer equipment plugged into it.

yes. mounting is not the strength of this power strip. we ended up using adhesive to attach it to a wall.

I don't recommend exceeding the specified maximum amperage rating of the protector. You will damage the surge protector.

Yes and No. The USB ports are powered and the surge suppress indicator works. I have mine plugged into a GFCI outlet. This device is designed to be attached to a standard duplex outlet using the supplied screw that mates with the screw hole for a standard wall plate. This cannot be done with a GFCI. I use it by being careful to hold the device when pulling cables out.

Yes, the surge protector will still work (although double check the surge protector's warranty coverage to be sure that you don't void it by using one, if that's an issue). The only potential issue is that if you plug too many things into a single socket you may trip a circuit breaker if you are attempting to draw too much power.

You CAN plug it into a basic extension cord, its how I have one of them ran actually. It CANNOT be a plugged into a surge protector or power strip. Most likely because of the extra components and electrical circuitry interfering with their signaling.

3-prong. Doubt you will be able to find a surge protector that is not a 3-prong. Any "jury rigged" connection would be dangerous. Find a person at your local hardware store who is knowledgeable about electrical connectors.

Yes you will, but it is still readily accessible and the Unit comes with, in my case, a long enough cord to reach my surge protector. On my set up, because of the proximity to power, the unit is entirely invisible.

I would get a heavy duty surge protector for an air conditioner. I think this unit is best suited for small electronics.

The manual clearly warns against connecting this to an ungrounded unit. An ungrounded outlet is not only a safety risk to what you plug in it, but also completely negates any benefit of a surge protector.

Yes . Operational failure resulting from a power surge while properlyconnected to a surge protector. You may be asked to provide Yoursurge protector for examination

I suggest you contact the manufacturer for your answer. Personally, I would only plug those units into a 15-20 amp dedicated wall socket with GFCI protection. I use this surge unit for my computer, monitor, external hard drives, wireless router etc. with excellent results.

No, it does not, and since most surge protectors are very temporary, if you use one it should be a separate unit. Most units of this sort do not use them. I do not.

The manufacture would want you to get a surge protector with a longer cable, which they do sell. But I have had similar situations and have done just that, with no problems.

There is no reason that it cannot. Since installing this unit I have installed a whole house surge protector and both work fine.
