ALESTOR 6 Ft Surge Protector Power Strip with 12 Outlets and 4 USB Ports

Overview

With 12 AC outlets and 4 USB ports on a 6 foot cord, the Alestor PS951 is built for powering a large number of devices from a single 2700 joule surge strip. It fits a home entertainment setup, a shared office desk or a dorm room with a lot to plug in.

Twelve outlets is a high count for a single strip, and the design splits them into two widely spaced outlets for bulky adapters and ten standard spacing outlets for everything else, rather than leaving all twelve cramped together. At 2700 joules, the surge rating is higher than the 800 to 1800 joule range typical of smaller strips, which matters more as more devices, and more expensive ones, are plugged in at once. The fire resistant shell rated to withstand roughly 1382 degrees Fahrenheit is a detail worth knowing given how many devices this strip is meant to carry at once.

• ETL certified with over current protection
• 24 month warranty plus 30 day return
• USB-C port at up to 3A alongside three USB-A ports
• Model PS951

Who it's for

Suits a home entertainment center, a shared office desk or a dorm room where a large number of devices and chargers need power from one strip. Overkill for someone who only needs a couple of outlets.

Performance notes

The 2700 joule rating is delivered through an overload protection circuit paired with a current limiting switch, so the strip itself will not overheat under load rather than relying purely on the joule rating to absorb every spike. Two of the twelve AC outlets are spaced 2 inches apart specifically for large adapters, while the remaining ten use standard spacing, a layout choice that avoids the common problem of one bulky plug blocking its neighbors. The 4 USB ports, one of them USB-C, add charging for phones and tablets without needing a separate charger, and a lit indicator confirms the surge protection circuit is active.
