Review on Monoprice 115874 12 Outlet Rotating Surge Protector Power Block/Strip - UL Rated, 4,320 Joules - Black, 10ft Heavy Duty Cord - Grounded & Protected Light Indicator by Melota Phillips

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Accommodates larger adapters

Considering the number of power connectors supported (12), this is a full-size surge protector. It arrived in a plain white box which may or may not be the final retail packaging. The power cord of this surge protector is very thick and heavy. Although I didn't weigh it, the power cord actually appears to be heavier than the surge protector itself. That doesn't mean surge protectors are easy. The only thing I notice is how heavy and thick the power cord is. The cable is about 10 feet long. Unique to this surge protector are the plugs that rotate 90 degrees, allowing you to connect larger power adapters. it looks more like a carrying handle than anything else. Overall, this is a surge protector that looks and feels solid. The power cord itself gives me confidence that it will handle the load (disclaimer: I'm not an electrician). Rotating power plugs are a nice feature when you have to connect a lot of large power adapters. If so, then this could be the surge protector for you.
