Types of Power Strips and Extension Leads
Power Strips with Surge Protection
Power strips with surge protection protect connected equipment from power surges in the electrical grid. Essential for expensive office equipment such as computers, monitors, and servers.
Power Strips with Switch
Power strips with an on/off switch make it easy to switch off all connected devices at once. This saves energy and extends the lifespan of equipment by eliminating standby consumption.
Power Strips with USB Ports
Power strips with integrated USB-A and/or USB-C ports offer additional charging options for smartphones, tablets, and other USB devices—without an extra adapter.
Extension Leads
Extension leads provide extra cable length to reach distant power outlets. Available in various lengths and with multiple sockets. Ideal for workplaces where the wall connection is not directly accessible.
Desk Power Strips
Desk power strips are specifically designed for use on the desktop. They have a compact, horizontal or vertical form and are easy to integrate into a cable management system.
What to Consider When Choosing a Power Strip?
- Number of sockets: sufficient for all devices in the workplace
- Surge protection: essential for expensive office equipment
- USB ports: convenient for charging mobile devices
- Cable length: sufficient to reach the wall connection
- Maximum power: check if the power strip can handle the total consumption
Combine with Other Electrification Solutions
Combine a power strip with a cable tray or cable duct for a completely tidy workplace. Or opt for a built-in module or surface-mounted module for an even neater integration of power on the desktop.
Frequently Asked Questions About Power Strips and Extension Leads
How many sockets do I need per workplace?
A standard workplace needs at least 4 sockets: computer or laptop, monitor, phone charger, and a spare. For workplaces with multiple monitors or additional equipment, 6 or more sockets are recommended.
Is surge protection necessary?
For office equipment, surge protection is highly recommended. Power surges can damage expensive equipment or destroy data. A power strip with surge protection is a small investment that can prevent major damage.
