The power switch to these outlet strips is on an extension cord, so you can control power even when the strips are in hard to reach places, such as under a desk. A circuit breaker prevents damage from current overload and short circuits. Surge suppression protects devices from voltage spikes. The surge rating indicates how much energy the outlet strip can absorb before it needs to be replaced.

90° elbow plugs fit flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.
