When working with electronics that are plugged into wall outlets, it’s incredibly important to keep safety top of mind. For example, it’s best to spread your equipment’s plugs across multiple outlets, instead of one, to avoid overload. Additionally, make sure that your cords aren’t tangled together or in reach of small children. Lastly, employ the use of surge protectors. These can help prevent damage to both your equipment and your office or home because of their powerful and beneficial features. Learn more about surge protectors below.
What Does a Surge Protector Do?
Surge protectors work to keep devices from experiencing sudden surges or increases in electrical power. Power outlets generally give off a steady stream of electricity, but some situations beyond the power company’s control, like large lightning strikes, can cause a sudden increase. Surge protectors help to ground this power so it doesn’t reach the devices that are connected to it.
How Many Devices Can Be Plugged into a Surge Protector?
You can connect all types of devices to surge protectors, including laptop chargers, desk lamps, desktop computers, monitors and more. You should, however, avoid plugging high voltage appliances into a surge suppressor as you run the risk of damaging all the attached devices.
Surge protectors have various plug-in options for you to choose from, but you can generally find ones that have anywhere between 1-12 outlets. There are also options that have a combination of USB and traditional outlet inserts. The amount of space you require depends on the amount of devices you are looking to protect. Additionally, you can use multiple surge strips to protect multiple devices in different rooms.
How Long Are the Cables for Surge Protectors?
Surge protectors vary in length depending on the brand, outlets required and how far you are looking to extend the cable. You can find a range of length options at Staples. There are products that plug directly into the wall, cables under 2 feet or upward of 10 feet. The majority of these cables are about 6 feet, but ultimately the length you choose is up to you.
Can You Use an Extension Cord with Surge Protectors?
No, you cannot. Extension cords and surge protectors should never be combined because they pose a fire hazard risk and can damage or degrade either of the cords. Separately, these two are fine to use, but surge suppressors should be kept away from extension cords to minimize the chance of any damage to the cords, devices or anything nearby.
