First Look and Proper Use 125V 15 Amp Power Strip with Switched Outlet

2-11-21IS6A450, Type 3SPD, Yellow, Power Strip with 6 Switched Outlets, 1200J, 14 AWG, 6ft Wire Size, Size 13 7/ 8 inch, length 2 1/2"W 1 5/8"H Purpose: DIY network cabinet switches power for network switch, NAS, other network devices. I just got a yellow CRST power strip and used it for a test. I plugged multiple computer devices and lights into each outlet and flipped the power switch for each outlet. First Impression: Body: The aluminum seems solid enough, the rivets hold it together, if you want to change or repair it later it shouldn't be too difficult to drill out the rivet and the repair looks lower quality than the cable or the extension housing. The time will tell. Easy enough to replace when it fails. , and each of them was fastened firmly and securely. Power Switch: This is the weakest part of the GRST Power Strip Extender, the switches feel flimsy and feel like they are floating when turning on and off. Time will tell if they hold up. However, in a metal case, the switch is easily replaced with a better one. Wall mounting holes: one at each end of the extension in the black plastic part of the case. I like the little green meter, you know. immediately when you apply power to the power strip before you turn on the main switch. It also indicates that the protection circuits are working. The extension cord is not too big and the outlet spacing is 11/16 inches, so most appliance plugs should fit. I think they could make it an inch shorter without changing the connector. Distance would be better for my application but 13 7/8" L isn't too bad. Looking forward to completing my network closet, installing this extension in a new house and using it for many years without problems. 4 stars due to weak switches and light plug I will update this review once it is installed and has been in use for a few months.
