Overview
This two-pack from Amazon Basics gives you six outlets and 200 joules of surge protection on a short 2 foot cord, with a 15 amp circuit breaker and an LED that shows the surge protection is active. Each strip mounts to a wall via a keyhole slot on the back.
This is a deliberately basic pair of strips, not a hub: 200 joules of protection and a 2 foot cord are enough for outlets that already sit next to what you are plugging in, and the two-pack lets you cover two such spots instead of one. There are no USB ports here, so anyone charging phones alongside other devices will want a strip built for that instead.
- Two 6-outlet surge protector strips
- 200 joule, 3-line surge rating
- 15 amp circuit breaker, 2 foot cord
- Wall-mount keyhole slots on back
Who it's for
Fits anyone who wants inexpensive, basic surge protection right at two separate outlets, such as behind a TV stand and beside a desk. Not the choice for someone who needs to reach devices set back from the wall or who wants USB charging built in.
Pros and cons
- Two strips, six outlets each, wall-mountable
- 15 amp circuit breaker for added safety
- LED indicator confirms active surge protection
- On/off switch on each strip
- Only 200 joules of surge protection
- Short 2 foot cord limits placement
- No USB charging ports included
Performance notes
At 200 joules, this strip is built to absorb smaller, more common surges rather than a major spike, and the 15 amp breaker exists to cut power before the strip itself overheats. The 2 foot cord is short by design, meant to sit right beside the outlet it plugs into rather than extend reach across a room. Wall mounting via the keyhole slot keeps the strip off the floor in tight spaces.
