Overview

Not a plain power strip, this Tripp Lite protector adds network-grade suppression, diagnostic LEDs and individual switches on six of its seven outlets. It cuts power to idle peripherals to reduce standby draw, and mounts under a desk or on a wall.

Choose it for a desk or entertainment setup where some devices need constant power and others should switch off. The set of outlets leaves room for several bulky transformer plugs, but mounting hardware is not itemized.

Who it's for

A home office, TV stand or hotel desk with a router, a computer and peripherals suits the switched outlets. Buyers who want built-in USB charging should look at a different model.

Performance notes

The suppressor absorbs surges and line noise up to its joule rating, and the diagnostic LEDs warn if wiring is faulty or the suppressor has been used up. The individual switches let you cut power to idle devices, which reduces the standby draw the description calls phantom loads. The always-on outlet holds constant-power gear running when the others are switched off.
