What does automatic shutoff mean on this Tripp Lite model?

Per the listing's feature bullets, the unit cuts power to all outlets when the surge suppression element is compromised. That prevents you from unknowingly using a strip that no longer provides protection.

Does it include phone and coax cables?

Yes. The listing states a 6-foot telephone and gold coax cable is included in the box, alongside the built-in RJ11 and 2.2GHz gold coax jacks.

Product overview

Tripp Lite Protect It!: What to Know

Per the listing's own feature bullets, the Tripp Lite Protect It! TLP1008TELTV is a 10-outlet surge protector with a 3,345-joule rating and an 8-foot cord. It's aimed at protecting a full desk or entertainment setup - PC, laptop, printer, scanner, router, phone, fax, modem, TV, cable and satellite equipment are all named in the bullets.

Beyond the 10 NEMA 5-15R outlets, the unit includes built-in RJ11 and 2.2GHz gold coax jacks to prevent surges from reaching modems, phones, cable and satellite gear. A 6-foot telephone and gold coax cable is included in the box, per the listing.

The standout safety feature is automatic shutoff: the listing states it cuts power to all outlets when the surge suppression element is compromised, so you're not left with a unit that looks fine but no longer protects anything. It also conforms to UL 1449 safety standards, per the listing.
