No. A surge strip is a power strip with a surge protector that will shut itself off if it detects a significant surge in power. It protects devices from electrical damage by flipping itself off or in some cases blowing it's own fuse. A UPS, uninterpretable power supply, also acts as a surge protector but with the added bonus of having battery power to compensate for lack of power temporarily. This gives the user time to shut down the computer and save their work so as not to loose any progress made. Hope this helps!

The in and out cable connectors provide the same type of surge protection from a high voltage that may be induced on the antenna or cable source for the TV during a lightening strike.
