A surge-protected strip for drone mapping can protect compatible desk equipment only when its electrical rating and protection status are clearly documented. No verified surge-protected power strip appears in the supplied factpacks, so a specific model or price should not be invented. Choose one from a qualified electrical supplier and follow its load limits.

Protect the computer and network deliberately

The Corsair RM850e at R1,900 is a confirmed internal 850W PC power supply for a compatible workstation. Its efficiency and capacity do not make it an external surge protector.

At R536, the confirmed ELECSTOR 18W mini UPS serves compatible low-voltage network gear. It cannot power a desktop, monitor or drone charger.

The Seagate Expansion 4TB external hard drive at R2,057 provides verified capacity for a separate copy of large mapping datasets.

Safeguard field data before processing

Copy flight data to two locations before formatting cards, then verify the copied files. Keep chargers within their manufacturer ratings and avoid overloading a multi-plug. A qualified electrician should assess recurring electrical faults rather than relying on an accessory to hide them.
