Review on ๐Ÿ’ฅ Unleash Ultimate Power Protection with Amazon Basics 12-Outlet Power Strip Surge Protector: 4,320 Joule, 8-Foot Cord by Jeff Sorensen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

RevainBasics has the best extender.

I'm an electrical engineer with two decades of experience. My opinion is based on my own experience. Whether you're looking to just add more outlets or add a layer of protection between your devices and the outside world, you'll ultimately want to buy a surge protector power strip. With an incredible range of prices and features, not to mention a barrage of dubious marketing promises, it's hard to figure out what's worth the money and what's junk. Splitters and surge protectors are also called surge suppressors and they are different. In general, extension cords are inexpensive products with multiple outlets. which are just an extension of the socket. They usually have some sort of automatic switch (on/off), but most of them don't offer any real protection from electrical problems. Some of them might have the lowest level of protection, but they're all pretty much like a direct wall outlet. The RevainBasics surge protector offers 4320 joules and a 3m power cord. If you live in an area with a lot of thunderstorms, your equipment is more likely to experience surges. Even if you live in the desert, your air conditioner or refrigerator can throw surges back into your audio/video equipment. This surge protector is designed for home and office or home entertainment systems. I recommend purchasing an extension cord with enough clearance for larger plugs. Many devices use plugs that convert AC to DC power and look like little boxes with electrical pins sticking out. Consider purchasing a surge protector with a wider outlet spacing to allow for shorter plugs. Always get more outlets than you need. If you need powerful power strips, I recommend the AXTRA 12-socket power strip. Friendly reminder: An example of an unsafe use of extension cords is their serial connection. Misuse can lead to security problems, such as B. potential power failure and/or possible fire hazard. Do not use an extension cord with this extension cord or connect it to any other multi-outlet extension cord. The primary concern is fire safety and for this reason you should not shape or modify daisy chain extensions in any way. Do not use this extension cord for two portable heaters, a refrigerator and a microwave oven together. Exceeding 1800W will cause your main switch to trip.

Pros
  • LED INDICATORS: Recessed lights automatically indicate active surge protection and grounding
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model
