Multi Plug

A multi-plug, also known as a power strip or extension cord, is a convenient electrical accessory that allows multiple devices to be connected to a single power source. It typically consists of a single cable with multiple sockets or outlets attached at regular intervals. Multi-plugs come in various designs and configurations, ranging from basic models with a few outlets to advanced ones with surge protection, individual switches, and USB charging ports.

Key Features:

• Multiple Outlets: The primary feature of a multi-plug is its ability to provide several outlets from a single wall socket, typically ranging from 2 to 12 outlets depending on the model.
• Power Surge Protection: Many modern multi-plugs come with built-in surge protectors to safeguard connected devices from voltage spikes, which can occur during electrical surges.
• Indicator Lights: Some models include LED indicator lights to indicate whether the strip is grounded and whether surge protection is active.
• Circuit Breaker: A circuit breaker or overload protection feature automatically cuts off power to the strip if it detects an overload or short circuit, protecting both the devices and the strip itself.
• Design and Durability: Multi-plugs are usually designed with durable materials and may feature a heavy-duty power cord to withstand daily use.
• Spacing between Outlets: Models may vary in the spacing between outlets to accommodate larger adapters or plugs without blocking adjacent sockets.
• Mounting Options: Some multi-plugs come with mounting holes or adhesive strips for convenient wall or under-desk mounting, keeping them accessible yet out of the way.
• Safety Standards: Reputable multi-plugs adhere to safety standards to ensure electrical safety and reduce risks such as overheating or electrical fires.
• Compatibility: They are compatible with various electrical devices, ranging from small appliances and chargers to larger electronics like computers and TVs.
• Portability: Depending on the design, some multi-plugs are compact and portable, suitable for travel or temporary setups.
