I think the most important thing is to protect the equipment for power changes with a voltage regulator. |
If that is what you think is important, then this is fine. In my experience, this is not very important. Most modern video equipment uses very robust switching power supplies that do not pass noise and can regulate perfectly from under 100 vac to over 130vac. It is a common misconception that there is value in external voltage regulation. There is convenience in a UPS, perhaps, but most of these units trade quality of protection for these features. The unit ou link above has a relatively low joule rating and no specs for current for surges, nor specs for the signal line clamping.
In my opinion yhou could get better protection for under $50 but with no UPS or voltage regulation.
