Tripp Lite Surge Protector Outlet Strip; 6 Outlets; 15 Amps; 15 ft. Cord Length; 120 VAC; White

Hospital and medical surge-protected power strips provide multiple electrical outlets in one block to power devices while protecting them from power spikes. Also called surge suppressors, their plugs and receptacles are specifically designed to help protect patients and staff and comply with regulatory codes, making them suitable for use in both patient-care areas (medical-grade) and nonpatient areas (hospital-grade). These power strips are commonly used in healthcare environments to power multiple devices in patient rooms, treatment rooms, and administrative areas as well as on mobile workstations and carts.

Surge-protected power strips are portable blocks of electrical sockets that supply power to multiple devices from one outlet and protect the connected devices from damage due to unexpected voltage increases. Also called a surge suppressor, the surge protector absorbs the excess voltage and diverts it to the ground wire, preventing it from reaching the connected equipment. A surge protector's joule rating determines how much energy it can absorb before it fails. A higher number indicates greater protection. These outlet strips are typically used to provide additional outlets in areas that don't have enough wall receptacles for the number of devices. They are portable and can be unplugged and moved to another location as needed. They are suitable for homes, offices, medical facilities, and industrial environments where protection from power spikes is a priority.
