A surge protector with 16 AC outlets and 6 USB charging ports on a 6 foot cord, rated at 2400 joules of surge protection. The outlet spacing is the thing to check on any strip like this, since wall warts cover neighbors on tightly spaced units. Sixteen outlets plus six USB is enough to consolidate a desk, an entertainment center, or a workbench onto one strip instead of daisy-chaining two, which is both a fire risk and a warranty problem. The 2400 joule rating is mid-tier, appropriate for computers and TVs and not intended for large appliances. It has an on and off switch and mounting keyholes on the back. Best fit: desks, media cabinets, and workbenches with more devices than the wall has room for.
Pros
- 16 AC outlets and 6 USB ports, which removes the reason to daisy-chain a second strip
- 2400 joule surge rating covers computers, monitors, and TVs
- 6 foot cord reaches behind a desk or a media cabinet without an extension
- Keyhole mounts on the back let it hang under a desk instead of sitting in the dust
Cons
- 2400 joules is mid-tier protection, so it is not the strip for a home theater you would insure
Frequently asked questions
Will bulky power adapters block neighboring outlets?
Some will. Check the outlet spacing images on the listing against your largest wall warts before ordering, since this is the usual complaint on any high-count strip.
Is 2400 joules enough protection?
It is mid-tier, appropriate for computers, monitors, and TVs. For expensive home theater gear, a higher joule rating is worth the extra cost.
Can I mount it under a desk?
Yes, there are keyhole slots on the back for screw mounting, which keeps it off the floor.
Do the USB ports fast charge?
They are standard USB charging ports suited for phones, tablets, and accessories. Check the listing for the per-port output before relying on them for a laptop.
