Frequently Asked Questions

How many outlets does the Tripp Lite SS240806 have, and will wall adapters block each other?

It has eight NEMA 5-15R outlets spaced 2.25 inches center to center. Tripp Lite says that spacing leaves room for most AC adapters and transformers without blocking the outlet next to them.

The SS240806 is rated at 1050 joules. It suppresses high-energy AC transient surges and filters EMI/RFI line noise for computers, test equipment and other sensitive electronics.
