Experience with the Belkin units overall has been mediocre at best.  
They're common, they're cheap, and if you can't find something else, 
they might be workable.

Sticking with the brands who have a history of building solid 
commercial units I think is a better policy. (ie Cybex as mentioned 
above, who merged with Apex [my personal fave] to form Avocent) 

Other vendors of well-regarded commercial units include Masterswitch, 
Compaq (Apex OEM), HP (also Apex OEM AFAIK), Rose, and Raritan.  I'm 
wary of the generic taiwanese stuff from Linksys/Aten/Edimax etc.
