Its TUV listed
Anker unfortunately doesn't seem to clearly list the clamping voltage.
Their own blog post here: https://www.anker.com/blogs/hubs-...ower-strip
States clamping voltage should ideally 400 volts or less, but then people seem to think their power strips have anywhere between 400 and 1200 volts as the clamping voltage. And 1200 would mean a lot of things you might plug into a power strip would be damaged before the protection kicked in.
I do think, when products are at this low of a price point, it's understandable if they don't have "top tier" protection. If you're plugging very valuable stuff into a surge protector and you want to be extra sure it's protected, you should probably invest in something that both costs more and clearly lists the joule rating/clamping voltage ranges. 😅

What is TÜV?
TÜV, short for Technischer Überwachungsverein (German for Technical Inspection Association), represents a group of independent organizations that test, inspect, and certify various products, services, and systems. Their primary goal is to ensure the safety of technologies and prevent potential hazards.
Can you share the link ? 🙂
It's sold out, but their daily mailer is a good sign-up. Mostly it's junk, but occasionally they have really good deals on stuff like this. My guess is they sell stuff like this at a loss to get you to walk to the back of the store to pick it up, and then grab a bunch of other stuff on your way out.
And it usually works on me

I agree 100%, the typical company that markets new products every week and having many recalls on battery packs and others. Although it does say TUV listed, I don't give two shits about German certification, I care a lot more about UL, which is American based. It's much better to stick to companies that have been producing power surge or extension strips for many years and not racing to survive like Anker among other Asians owned/ran companies due to market oversaturation.
