We have seen how power strips with a cube or dice type design, however you want to say it, have gone viral. Although it is said to be an innovative design, the reality is that they have been available on the market for many years.
They can be interesting for connecting low-consumption appliances and, it is true, they take up less space. If what you want is to connect your computer or other high-cost devices, you need higher quality solutions. We are going to recommend three high-quality power strips that help protect your devices.
Recommended power strips to connect your computer and devices
Something that is not usually taken into account is the importance of the power strip where we plug the computer. We must also consider them as an additional protection element against voltage deficiencies. We are going to recommend several very good quality solutions.
Brennenstuhl horizontal 8 sockets
The first of the solutions that we present to you is precisely the one that I personally use. At the time I spent several hours looking for power strips for my computer that fit my needs. I wanted a high-quality solution, from a recognized brand and that included different USB ports.
This Brennenstuhl power strip has a total of 8 shots plug rotated 45 degrees to allow multiple device connection. As you well know, those that do not have these features can be problematic for connecting wired devices that have a 90-degree plug.
I wanted it to have several USB ports to be able to have device charging cables. Currently, I have two cables to charge my phone, headphones or mouse, depending on needs. I have another port to charge the smart watch and the last one is free for any eventuality.
Philips SPN7060WA/10
Now let’s go with another very interesting option that changes the design, but maintains quality standards. You surely know the manufacturer Philips for its televisions and different appliances. The company also offers its own power strips to users and these are of high quality.
In this case we have a wide strip of 6 shots pluge rotated 45 degrees to improve and simplify the installation of multiple devices. This power strip has protections against overvoltage and accidental contact. Elements that are essential in any solution of this type that is launched on the market.
Something very interesting is that it has four USB ports that offer a power of up to 25 watts. Additionally, it has one USB-C port which can supply a total of 3 amps for a total power of 15 watts. It adapts very well to modern needs.
If you want to guarantee the greatest possible security and peace of mind, we go with another high-quality Brennenstuhl solution. This one has a conventional elongated design, but it looks quite interesting. In addition, if it can be left on the table, it can be installed on its leg thanks to its design that allows this type of anchoring.
It has a total of 6 shots of current which have a rotation of 45 degrees. This element is common in all the power strips that we have discussed and, for us, is critical. It is easy to install and connect multiple devices without any problem. Includes a total of two USB sockets which together can supply up to 5 amps.
The most interesting thing about this strip is that it includes a protection fuse of a cutting power of 10 amps. If consumption is exceeded, for whatever reason, it is cut off and the plugged-in devices are protected. Logically, we can change the fuse without major problems, since it has a simple removal mechanism.
