機能一覧
This function protects your connected electronic devices from sudden, damaging power surges, such as those caused by lightning strikes or fluctuations in the electrical grid. It can be used whenever your valuable electronics are plugged into the power strip, safeguarding them against unexpected electrical spikes. The benefit is preventing irreversible damage to sensitive equipment like computers, televisions, and gaming consoles, thereby extending their lifespan and saving you from costly repairs or replacements.
This power strip does not incorporate dedicated surge protection circuitry to shield connected devices from voltage spikes or power surges. While it includes overload protection, it is not designed to absorb and dissipate excess electrical energy from events like lightning strikes or grid fluctuations. Users with sensitive electronics should be aware of this limitation and consider external surge protection if needed.
This function allows you to independently turn the power on or off for each individual outlet on the strip, without affecting other devices plugged into the same strip. It is useful when you want to power down specific devices (like a printer or a lamp) without unplugging them or powering off other electronics. This offers the benefit of saving standby electricity consumption, extending the life of your devices, and providing convenient control over your plugged-in appliances.
This power strip features a single master power switch that controls all 6 AC outlets simultaneously. It does not offer individual switches for each outlet, meaning all connected devices are powered on or off together. This design simplifies operation but does not allow for independent control or energy saving for specific devices plugged into the strip.
This function integrates dedicated USB ports directly onto the power strip, allowing you to charge smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and other USB-powered devices without needing a separate wall adapter. It is incredibly convenient when you have multiple mobile devices to charge and want to keep your AC outlets free for larger appliances. The main benefit is decluttering your charging area, freeing up wall outlets, and providing a centralized, efficient charging solution for your portable electronics.
This power strip is designed exclusively for AC power distribution and does not include any integrated USB charging ports. Users will need to utilize separate wall adapters for charging their smartphones, tablets, or other USB-powered devices, which may occupy the available AC outlets and contribute to a less organized charging setup.
This function automatically shuts off power to all connected devices if the total electrical load (the amount of power being drawn) exceeds the power strip's safe capacity. It is critical for safety, preventing the power strip from overheating and potentially causing a fire or damage to connected electronics, especially if multiple high-power devices are plugged in simultaneously. The benefit is enhanced safety, protecting both your valuable equipment and your home from potential electrical hazards.
Equipped with a built-in 15A circuit breaker, this power strip provides essential overload protection. If the total current drawn by connected devices exceeds the strip's maximum rated capacity (1875W), the circuit breaker will automatically trip, cutting off power to prevent overheating, potential electrical fires, and damage to both the power strip and your valuable equipment.
This function incorporates protective covers or shutters over the electrical outlets that prevent small objects, such as fingers or paper clips, from being accidentally inserted into the live electrical slots. It is especially important for households with young children or curious pets. The primary benefit is providing a crucial layer of safety, significantly reducing the risk of electrical shock and offering peace of mind to parents and caregivers.
The product information does not specify the presence of child safety shutters on the AC outlets. These protective covers are designed to prevent accidental insertion of foreign objects into the live electrical slots, which is a crucial safety feature, especially in households with young children or pets. Users should exercise caution or consider external safety measures.
This function features outlets that can individually swivel or rotate, allowing you to adjust their angle. It is particularly useful when you need to plug in bulky power adapters or 'wall warts' that would otherwise block adjacent outlets on a standard power strip. The benefit is maximizing the usable number of outlets, ensuring that all available ports can be utilized efficiently, even with awkwardly shaped plugs.
This power strip features fixed, widely-spaced AC outlets that are oriented sideways to accommodate bulky power adapters without blocking adjacent ports. However, the outlets themselves do not rotate or swivel. The fixed orientation is effective for managing larger plugs, but it does not offer the adjustable flexibility found in power strips with rotating outlets.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The CFMASTER Power Strip is a robust and durable solution, particularly well-suited for heavy-duty applications where a basic, reliable power source is needed. Its metal construction and wall-mountable design contribute to its predicted long usage period and durability. However, it lacks modern features such as integrated USB charging ports and comprehensive surge protection, which are common in higher-end models. Its performance excels in providing stable AC power for tools and appliances in environments like workshops or garages, but it is not ideal for protecting sensitive electronics or charging mobile devices.
