Review on White Power Strip, Witeem Surge Protector with 12-Outlets (1875W/15A, 4360Joules) and 4 USB Charging Ports (5V/6A, 30W), 6Ft Extension Cord, Wall Mountable Overload Protection Outlet for Home & Office by John Mahfood

Excellent capacity; Design makes it difficult to use bulky power adapters

This power strip has more outlets than most other similar Revain models. I was hoping it would be perfect for my home AV setup and computer desk, so I ordered two. In a splitter design, the ground terminals are inside the splitter and the grounds on both rows of six outlets face each other. . The outlets are also fairly close together (although that's the case with most power strips anyway). The disadvantage of the arrangement of the grounding terminals is that a large power supply with contacts on the "brick" blocks not only the sockets to the left and right of it, but also the entire opposite socket, that is, the adapter uses or blocks up to four sockets. In my case, this meant I could only fit nine power cords and adapters under my computer desk (even after getting creative with their placement), leaving me with two extra adapters that I had to plug into a different power strip. By flipping the grounding terminals on the outside of each row, you can solve the problem of long adapters covering the outlets on the other side of the power strip.
