Tripp Lite Eaton Series Protect It! 6-Outlet Surge Protector, 6 ft. (1.83 m) Cord, 2420 Joules - Receptacles: 6 x NEMA 5-15R - 2420J

Well thought out design, robust, high quality.

I use Tripp Lite products pretty much exclusively when it comes to any kind of power distribution need (small on-wall surge protectors, power strips, UPS systems, etc.). I’ve found them to be very high quality with smart designs. This 6 outlet strip is no exception. It’s hard to be excited about something as mundane as a power strip, so think of it more like being disappointed in all of your other, lesser, power strips. The first thing you’ll notice about this strip is that each outlet is actually separate from the main device casing. Very similar to how wall outlets are actually separate pieces rather than being integrated into the wall plate. The outlets are square and provide a very tight grip without causing difficulty inserting or removing plugs. The power strip has a large lighted on/off switch. On the side of the strip is the circuit breaker reset button. The top features a light for showing that the power protection circuitry is working, along with lights to indicate if the wiring of your wall outlet is setup correctly or not (line OK or fault). The right angle plug is aimed to the right, so if you plan to position this power strip to the left of your wall outlet then you’ll end up with a sharp turn right away because the cord will be going to the right and then have to bend back to the left. If you place it to the right of the outlet then you’re all good. The power strip comes with 4 inserts for blocking off the unused plugs. The strip can be placed flat on a surface or mounted using the two mounting holes on the back. The holes feature keying in 4 directions so you can mount the strip horizontal or vertically. Overall I’m very pleased with this power strip. It’s well-built and I expect it to last a long time.

Top quality

I bought this to use with my security camera and DVR system. It has enough Joule protection in case there is a power surge that may destroy my setup. It is sleek in design and is the perfect fit to the components. This is my second purchase. Great quality.

PROS o Decent surge rating of 1080 joules o AC, LINE FAULT, and PROTECTION indicators o nice long 8 foot cord o lifetime warranty o SWITCH IS ON OPPOSITE END FROM POWER CORD While this is a bit pricier than many surge protection outlet strips, it is the ONLY one I have found that has the power switch on the opposite end from the power cord. This makes it VERY handy to get to the switch without having to reach over all of the cords and typically WAY back on the desk or in the cubbyhole in which you have the outlet strip. That feature, coupled with the other pros that I mention, makes this outlet strip worth the money IMHO. I may just order another one, even though I don't currently have a need for it, because you know how that saying goes, "If you snooze, you lose".
