BELKIN`S CONSERVE SURGE WITH TIMER REDUCES ENERGY-RELATED IT COSTS AT THE
WORKSTATION

* Conserve`s Timer Automatically Turns off Outlets and Eliminates Standby-Power
Consumption
* Progressive New Product Engages Employees as Part of an Overall Energy-Saving
Approach

Belkin today announced its new Conserve Surge with Timer, a cost-saving business
solution that helps organizations reduce the amount of energy wasted by office
electronics at the workstation. The surge protector gives IT and facilities
managers greater control over power consumption, specific to desktop electronics
where nearly half of all IT energy costs originate. Its automatic timer makes
saving both money and energy simple, while empowering employees to make a
positive impact toward global efforts for a reduced carbon footprint.

While many companies look to the data center when thinking of reducing power
consumption, energy usage in the office environment can equal the energy
consumed by the data center-and more is wasted because office electronics
continue to consume electricity even when turned off or in standby mode. Called
"standby power," this wasted energy is difficult for companies to control
because it includes devices managed by the end user and often across distributed
environments-monitors, printers, scanners, speakers, and task lights.

With the new Conserve Surge with Timer, employees can plug their office
electronics into one of the six "auto off" outlets, while two "always on"
outlets keep PCs and other critical devices powered on at all times. Employees
can activate the six switched outlets with a single press of the on/off button,
allowing the surge protector`s automatic timer to eliminate power to those
outlets after 11 hours. Prior to the automatic shutdown, a blinking LED on the
button will warn employees. When the employee leaves for the day, the switched
outlets turn off, eliminating the power consumption that would normally occur
throughout the evening and over weekends.
