A red rocker-style RESET/OFF power switch and a protection-status indicator are located near the cord-entry point. The enclosure design shares several styling cues with the Universal 71637, including the raised control section and red indicator lens.
Unlike the Universal 71637, the VG307 does not incorporate telephone-line surge protection circuitry or RJ11 connectors.
The documented example exhibits a broken screw-mount post near the power-cord entry point. Additional details are documented in the teardown section.
The VG307 utilizes a slim off-white plastic enclosure with a raised control section located near the power-cord entry point.
Unlike many surge protectors that place the rocker switch parallel to the outlet row, the Universal 71632 uses a switch orientation perpendicular to the outlet axis.
The enclosure tapers slightly from approximately 1.50 inches wide at the outlet section to approximately 1.38 inches wide at the control section.
The documented example incorporates six grounded outlets arranged in a single row and an illuminated-style rocker switch with a separate protection-status indicator.
