Tripp Lite 16-Outlet Bench & Cabinet Power Strip

Bottom line: The Tripp Lite 16-Outlet Bench & Cabinet Power Strip: 16 NEMA 5-15R outlets on a 48in strip, spaced 2.717in center-to-center for bulky adapters; main trade-off: surge suppression is not listed, so sensitive retro gear still needs a separate protector.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 16 NEMA 5-15R outlets on a 48in strip, spaced 2.717in center-to-center for bulky adapters
  • ✓ 15ft 5-15P cord reaches distant wall outlets without an extension
  • ✓ Extruded all-metal aluminum housing rated for lab, factory, and telecom use
  • ✓ Lighted switch under a locking clear cover blocks accidental shutoff mid-session

Cons

  • ✗ Surge suppression is not listed, so sensitive retro gear still needs a separate protector
  • ✗ 15A total across 16 outlets caps how many high-draw devices run at once
  • ✗ 48in metal chassis needs a bench or rack rail, not a desktop corner
  • ✗ Wide 2.717in spacing means fewer outlets per foot than a compact strip
