			The attached six-foot power cord utilizes an SJT-rated three-conductor 14 AWG cable. Cord markings include UL file number E177638, VW-1 and FT2 flame ratings, and BELKIN SURGEMASTER branding molded directly into the jacket. Unlike several other cord assemblies documented by the archive, the cord does not identify an underlying manufacturer, suggesting a private-labeled cord assembly produced for Belkin by a third-party supplier.

			The power cord is terminated with a molded grounding attachment plug bearing Belkin branding. The plug utilizes a straight-blade configuration rather than the right-angle style commonly found on some contemporary surge-protector designs.

	The documented example remained in active service until 2026, ~~when it~~ was replaced by an Amazon Basics 270103-B surge protector.		The documented example remained in active residential service from approximately 2003 until 2026, providing more than two decades of continuous use. At the time of removal from service, both the Protected and Grounded indicators remained illuminated, suggesting that surge-protection and grounding-monitoring functions remained operational. It was replaced by an Amazon Basics 270103-B surge protector.

			== Historical Notes ==

			The F9H710-06 reflects several design trends common among consumer surge protectors of the early 2000s, including integrated telephone-line protection, sliding outlet covers, status indicators, and branded cord assemblies. The removable cable-management bracket represents an additional cable-organization feature not commonly observed on many competing surge protectors documented by the archive.

			Testing with a receptacle tester confirmed correct outlet wiring and proper grounding.

			When energized, both status indicators illuminated. The green Protected indicator remained illuminated, indicating that surge-protection circuitry was still active. The amber Grounded indicator confirmed the presence of a proper equipment ground.

			The rocker power switch itself is not illuminated.
