Many air conditioners and units are not well thought out. Multimedia systems often use multiple outlets for power (USB modem hub, monitor, router, LAN switch). Many AC strips are laid out in a vertical row array. Unfortunately, due to its size and location, an AC wall wart can/will "block" other AC outlets, limiting the number of AC outlets. On the AC strip in question, the AC sockets are arranged horizontally, which offers much more space for larger AC wall sockets.
