Power Strips & Surge Protectors
Need more outlets for your daily devices? Power strips let you connect several plugs to one wall outlet. Surge protectors also help protect connected devices from sudden spikes in power.
Explore power strips and surge protectors at Right Tech Store. Check each product’s features to find the right fit for your desk, TV area, or home office.
Power Strips for Home and Office
A multiple outlet power strip keeps several power connections in one place. Use it for devices such as phone chargers, desk lamps, and laptop chargers. Always stay within its power limit.
Count your plugs before choosing a model. Look for wide outlet spacing if you use large chargers. This helps stop one plug from blocking the next outlet.
Surge Protectors for Computers and TVs
Computers, TVs, and gaming consoles can suffer damage from sudden power spikes. A surge protector power strip helps reduce this risk.
A basic power strip does not always include surge protection. Check the product details for a surge rating, listed in joules. Do not assume that extra outlets mean extra protection.
Power Strips with USB Ports
A power strip with USB ports lets you charge supported devices without separate wall chargers. This can leave more outlets free for other plugs.
Look for USB-A or USB-C ports that match your cables. Check the charging output too. A USB-C port alone does not mean it supports fast charging or laptop charging.
How to Choose the Right Power Strip
Check these details before you buy:
- Outlet count: Choose enough sockets for your devices.
- Plug spacing: Leave room for large power adapters.
- Cord length: Make sure the cord reaches your wall outlet.
- Plug shape: A flat plug power strip can fit better behind furniture.
- USB ports: Match the port type and output to your devices.
- Power rating: Keep the total load within the listed limit.
- Surge protection: Check whether the model includes it.
Check the plug type and voltage rating as well. Both should suit the power supply where you plan to use it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a power strip and a surge protector?
A power strip adds more outlets. A surge protector also helps protect devices from sudden power spikes. Some products offer both features.
Can a power strip charge phones through USB?
Yes, if it has suitable USB charging ports. Use a cable that fits your phone and check the port’s power output.
Does a surge protector work during a power cut?
It does not keep your devices running when the power goes out. You need a battery backup, such as a UPS, for that.
Can I plug one power strip into another?
No. Plug your power strip directly into a suitable wall outlet. Connecting strips together can cause an overload.
What does the joule rating mean?
It shows how much surge energy the protector is rated to absorb. Compare this rating along with the product’s other safety features.
