Review on πŸ’‘ Tripp Lite PS240810 8 Outlet Bench & Cabinet Power Strip, 24" Length, 10ft Cord, 5-15P Plug, Black/Silver by Nick Walker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Having enough sockets exactly where you need them is one of the little pleasures in life.

Great! One of the tightest fork slats I've found and well made too. The 15-foot cable is a bit redundant, but overall it's a good thing. The Beats has a 3 foot cord that you need to add an extension cord to immediately. Technically it violates the NEC. So if you're using it in an environment where you have a compliance officer, you'll be happy with the long cable. If you don't mind violating the UL certification, cut the cable and insert a rectangular plug, e.g. B. the Leviton 8215-CAT, in the end. They are great for tidying up and reduce the chance of the cord coming out of the wall. This particular type of rectangular plug allows you to route the cable out of the jack at almost any angle, which can be handy for a number of reasons. Tip: If you decide to use these connectors, please read and follow the conductor preparation instructions carefully. The length of the conductors depends on the angle you leave the cable at, and if you don't cut them carefully you'll never put the cap on. low quality. They appear to be durable and will hold up well over time. The only strips I've found with better sockets are WireMold/PlugMold branded ones. But they don't make bands with that density. As another reviewer noted, rotating the exhaust ports 90 feet would be nice. This would help avoid collisions when trying to connect many wall warts. Whatever the case, having so many outlets means it's pretty easy to move cords and warts around to make them all fit. If this is still an issue for you, search Revain for "extension releasers". Mounting clips can be positioned anywhere along the extension, which is handy. Simple and non-critical placement simplifies installation. Attach the clips to the strip, press against the surface, mark the edges of the clips, remove the clips and install. The cover switch is good and the backlight status is visible even with the cover closed. Finally, the prices are great, especially for a product of this quality. The 90ft outlet issue is the only thing I can think of. If you need to have outlets in a different orientation, take a look at the Tripp Lite PS3612RA. The downside is fewer outlets and a lot more expensive! Oh, and to paraphrase H. Ford, you can have any color you want as long as it's silver. Throw one under your desk, behind your entertainment center, on the back and under the front edge of your bench (a surprisingly handy bench strategy for keeping cords from crossing everywhere). Great product, great price.
