Overview
A 12-outlet surge protector with an 8ft cord and 4000 joules of protection, built for spreading power across a home office, gaming setup or entertainment center. It is aimed at anyone who has run out of outlets rather than anyone needing portability.
The main differentiator versus a typical 6-outlet strip is sheer outlet count paired with a much higher joule rating, 4000 joules against the 1000 to 1500 joules common on smaller strips. Safety shutters on each outlet and flame retardant housing round out a strip built to sit permanently behind a desk or media center rather than travel.
- 12 outlets, 4000 joules of surge protection
- 8ft extension cord
- 15A circuit breaker with flame retardant housing
- Safety shutters and back keyhole wall mount
Who it's for
Fits anyone running a gaming setup, home office or entertainment center with more devices than outlets, especially where a longer 8ft cord is needed to reach the nearest wall socket. Overkill for a single device or a short cord situation.
Pros and cons
- 12 outlets on one strip
- 4000 joules, well above typical strips in this outlet range
- 8ft cord for extended reach
- Wall mountable with a keyhole design
- Bulkier footprint given the high outlet count
- No individually switched outlet groups
Performance notes
The strip is rated for 4000 joules of surge protection with a 15 amp circuit breaker and PC flame retardant housing for added protection against overloads and heat. Safety shutters on each of the 12 outlets block insertion of anything other than a proper plug, and a back keyhole mount lets it be screwed to a wall for a more permanent install. The 8ft cord and physical on/off switch make it easier to reach a wall outlet and cut all connected power in one place.
