When voltage fluctuates, swells, or spikes, it can damage sensitive electronics. The AmazonBasics surge-protector power strip creates an important layer of defense and protects electronic devices. With a 14-gauge system and 790-Joule surge-suppression rating, the unit optimally transfers power and helps keep plugged-in devices safe, especially during storms and power outages.
Turn one outlet into six with the surge-protector power strip. Simply plug the power strip into a three-pronged, properly grounded AC outlet, press the rocker switch to "on", and it's ready to go. One of the six surge-protected outlets is a transformer outlet designed to accommodate larger power adapters.
The unit's handy built-in power switch makes it easy to turn off several electronics at once--or to temporarily cut power for a complete, thorough shut-down. Since most electronics continue to use power when in standby mode, the surge-protector power strip can be used to completely shut off electronics when not in use, helping to conserve energy. Ideal for home or office, the six-outlet surge-protector power strip offers convenience and protection for everyday electronics.
A red "protected" LED indicator illuminates when the surge-protector power strip is turned on, showing that it's protecting plugged-in devices. If the light goes out, it means the surge-protector power strip has served its purpose and should be replaced. A second light in the on/off switch illuminates to show the surge-protector power strip is turned on.
Along with its slim, sleek design that effortlessly slides into narrow spaces, the six-outlet surge-protector power strip provides a 6-foot power cord for extended range without creating unnecessary clutter.
