SPIKE BAR SK6-6

Tripp Lite Spike Bar SK6-6

The Tripp Lite Spike Bar SK6-6 is a six-outlet surge suppressor designed to provide protection against power spikes and electrical noise.

Marketed as a "Spike & Noise Suppressor," the SK6-6 reflects an era when manufacturers frequently emphasized both surge suppression and line-noise reduction as features for protecting computers and other electronic equipment.

Features

• Six AC outlets
• Illuminated power switch
• Green protection indicator
• Approximately 5-foot attached power cord
• Grounded NEMA 5-15P plug
• 15-amp maximum load rating

Physical Description

The Tripp Lite Spike Bar SK6-6 features a textured off-white plastic enclosure with a raised control section housing the illuminated power switch and protection indicator.

Six grounded outlets are arranged in a single row along the top surface of the unit. The enclosure exhibits moderate age-related yellowing, particularly when compared to the attached power cord.

An attached power cord approximately five feet in length terminates in a grounded NEMA 5-15P plug.

The enclosure incorporates wall-mount provisions, allowing the unit to be secured to a vertical surface for installation behind desks, computer workstations, and other equipment.

Operational Testing

The documented example powers connected equipment successfully.

The green protection indicator did not illuminate during testing.

The red illuminated rocker switch exhibited visible flicker during operation. Similar behavior has been observed on multiple Tripp Lite Spike Bar units of this era.

A demonstration video documenting the switch behavior is available.
