“Joules” means …
“Joules” means nothing in surge protection – it’s an out dated, very vague performance claim and can be misleading. The “brick” as he calls it is the transformer which coverts the AC to DC. Also, EMP stands for electro magnetic pulse. The typical $15-$45 or so (probably even more) surge strip will start to degrade in about 6 months if you’ve got any type of power quality issues…and you’ll probably never know it’s bad.

Lightning produces …
Lightning produces EMP. Electro Motive Pulse
EMP causes a huge magnetic field to expand from the lightning arc outward then collapse back again.
When this field crosses metal. Current in induced in the metal. Power lines, phone lines, etc are like huge antennas so to speak to this effect.

Lightning does not …
Lightning does not actually have to hit a line or cable to cause damage. In fact in most cases where we get damage from storms. Lightning it’s self never actually touched the damaged equipment or the cables and wires connected to it.

Yeah the block …
Yeah the block converts 118V AC – 125V AC (give or take, they are all different) to 6V DC – 12V DC (give or take). You can buy a nice Belkin Power Supply that supports receptacles, phone lines, and cable lines and had a $150,00 all connected equipment warranty for about $30.00. Things like the UPS Chris was talking about costs more.
