2-Pack 12 ft Surge Protector

This 2-pack provides two six-outlet surge-protected power strips, each with a 12 ft cord and two USB-A ports rated at 5V 2.1A. They are suited for home or office users who need to expand a single grounded outlet into multiple AC receptacles while also charging phones or tablets without extra adapters. The ETL listing and 490 Joules of suppression protect connected electronics from voltage spikes. The 15 A circuit breaker guards against overload on the strip itself.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Each strip carries a 15 A, 125 VAC, 1875 W rating, so the total continuous draw across its six outlets and USB ports must stay within that limit. The integrated 15 Amp circuit breaker will trip if the combined load exceeds the rating, preventing overheating of the 16 AWG copper conductors during prolonged use. The 12 ft rubber-jacketed cord allows placement away from the wall outlet without daisy-chaining additional extensions.

Interface Practical Limits

The NEMA 5-15P plug and 5-15R outlets limit the strip to 125 VAC, 15 A service, so it cannot be used on 20 A or 240 V circuits. The two USB-A ports share a 5V 2.1A maximum output, which may not fast-charge larger tablets or laptops that require higher current or USB-C Power Delivery. The 490 Joule suppression rating is lower than some competing models rated at 1080, 1350 or 2100 Joules, so buyers needing higher surge energy absorption should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How hot or noisy does the 15 Amp, 1875 W strip get when it powers a full load all day?

The unit has no fan and produces no audible noise; heat rises only from the 16 AWG copper conductors and the 490 Joule surge components under continuous 15 Amp draw.

What wall outlet and grounding must I already have for the 12 ft Type B cord and 6 NEMA 5-15R sockets to work?

A standard North American 125 VAC grounded Type B receptacle is required; the 3-pin plug will not fit ungrounded or non-NEMA outlets.

Will the 2 USB-A ports at 5 V 2.1 A charge my older phone that only accepts legacy 5 V 1 A input?

Yes, the ports negotiate down to the device’s maximum, so a 1 A phone draws only 1 A while the strip remains protected by the 15 Amp breaker.
