			== Physical Description ==

			The attached power cord utilizes a right-angle grounding plug intended to minimize clearance requirements behind furniture and office equipment. As observed on several other documented surge protectors, use with grounding-pin-up receptacles causes the cord to exit upward before looping downward toward the connected equipment.

	~~<p>~~The attached 14 AWG power cord terminates in a right-angle plug intended to reduce clearance requirements when connected to a wall receptacle. In the documented installation, the wall receptacle was mounted with the grounding slot positioned above the energized conductors, causing the right-angle plug to route upward from the outlet before descending toward the surge protector. The attached power cord is marked ~~SJT~~ 14 AWG ~~x 3C~~ with a VW-1 flame rating and a 60°C temperature rating.

Interior construction includes brass outlet contact assemblies, a resettable circuit breaker, surge protection circuitry, communications protection circuitry, and dedicated coaxial protection hardware mounted directly to the enclosure. Additional examination beneath the primary power circuit board revealed a large copper-wound inductor and multiple disc-shaped surge suppression components.
