Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.       Austere… a relative newcomer to the consumer electronics accessories maker business…is at it again…bringing high end designs to everything from HDMI cables to power strips.   That has been the mission of founder and CEO Deena Ghazarian…who points out that many consumers aren’t aware that surge protectors have a finite lifespan…

“So there’s two things you need to look for in a surge protector.  Number one,  you want to find the most amount of joules as possible.   So our two different line ups have a three thousand joule and four thousand joule backing to them.  Three thousand joules probably lasts you five to seven years, depending on where you live and four thousand joules will last about eight to ten years.”

Take a look at the line and the impressive design at www.austere.com where the company’s screen cleaning kit…Clean and Protect…has become a big seller as well.
