Power:

= Power Strips =

A power strip, also known as a relocatable power tap (RPT), is a device that provides multiple electrical receptacles from a single power cord and plug. Unlike surge protectors, power strips do not necessarily provide protection from voltage transients or electrical surges. Many power strips consist solely of outlets, internal wiring, and, in some cases, an integrated circuit breaker and power switch.

== Overview ==

Power strips are commonly used in homes, offices, workshops, entertainment systems, and information technology environments where additional power outlets are required. They are available in a wide range of outlet counts, cord lengths, and configurations.

== Characteristics ==

* Multiple AC receptacles supplied from a single plug
* Typically rated for 15A, 125V AC in North America
* May include a resettable circuit breaker
* May include a power switch
* Available in a variety of outlet counts and cord lengths
* Usually classified as a relocatable power tap (RPT)
* Do not necessarily provide surge suppression

PowerPig, the OldSurge mascot, uses a surge protector as a shield to protect a vintage Packard Bell computer system from a lightning strike. The scene includes a Packard Bell multimedia computer with side-mounted speakers, a U.S. Robotics 56K modem, storm clouds, and lightning effects rendered in a retro pixel-art style inspired by late-1990s computer graphics.

No explicit manufacturing date code has been identified.

Visible markings include:

* T151
* B10C-A
* UL hologram marked "09/2M"
* USA PAT.

The significance of these markings has not been confirmed.

== Functional Testing ==

A receptacle tester was connected to one of the outlets during archival documentation. The tester indicated correct wiring and grounding on the tested outlet.

The resettable circuit breaker / power switch remained operational at the time of testing.

== Condition ==

This example exhibits cosmetic wear consistent with long-term service and storage. Dirt accumulation, minor discoloration, scuffs, scratches, and outlet wear were visible prior to cleaning. No evidence of melting, cracking, deformation, or significant physical damage was observed during documentation.

== Construction ==

Unlike a surge protector, this unit contains no surge suppression circuitry. Interior construction consists of full-length brass contact strips, a resettable circuit breaker / power switch assembly, three-conductor wiring, molded outlet supports, and an integrated strain-relief system.

Electrical connections are made directly between the 14 AWG SJT power cord, circuit breaker assembly, grounding conductor, and brass outlet contact strips. No printed circuit boards or electronic components are present.

== Teardown ==

Disassembly began in 2026 following retirement from service. Opening the enclosure required removal of six enclosure screws securing the upper and lower housing halves.

Interior examination revealed a straightforward construction consisting of full-length brass outlet contact strips, a resettable circuit breaker / power switch assembly, three-conductor wiring, molded outlet supports, and an integrated strain-relief system.

Unlike a surge protector, no surge suppression components, printed circuit boards, MOVs, filtering components, telephone protection circuitry, or coaxial protection circuitry were observed.

* Plug type: NEMA 5-15P
* Cord type: SJT
* Cord size: 14 AWG × 3 conductors
* Cord Length: About 3 feet
* UL cord file: E55178
* CSA cord file: LL40876
* Cord/plug marking: CWCO
* UL temperature rating: 75°C
* CSA temperature rating: 60°C
* Flame rating: VW-1 / FT2
* Wall Mountable - two offset keyhole slots
* Housing construction: Two-piece plastic enclosure
* Plug type: Grounded NEMA 5-15P
* Plug construction: Molded
* Plug marking: CWI-03
* Plug manufacturer marking: CWCO
* Plug UL file: E168486

== Date Codes ==

No explicit manufacturing date code has been identified.

Visible markings include:

* T151
* B10C-A
* UL hologram marked "09/2M"
* USA PAT.

The significance of these markings has not been confirmed.

== Functional Testing ==

A receptacle tester was connected to one of the outlets during archival documentation. The tester indicated correct wiring and grounding on the tested outlet.

The resettable circuit breaker / power switch remained operational at the time of testing.

== Condition ==

This example exhibits cosmetic wear consistent with long-term service and storage. Dirt accumulation, minor discoloration, scuffs, scratches, and outlet wear were visible prior to cleaning. No evidence of melting, cracking, deformation, or significant physical damage was observed during documentation.

== Construction ==

Unlike a surge protector, this unit contains no surge suppression circuitry. Interior construction consists of full-length brass contact strips, a resettable circuit breaker / power switch assembly, three-conductor wiring, molded outlet supports, and an integrated strain-relief system.

Electrical connections are made directly between the 14 AWG SJT power cord, circuit breaker assembly, grounding conductor, and brass outlet contact strips. No printed circuit boards or electronic components are present.

== Teardown ==

Disassembly began in 2026 following retirement from service. Opening the enclosure required removal of six enclosure screws securing the upper and lower housing halves.

Interior examination revealed a straightforward construction consisting of full-length brass outlet contact strips, a resettable circuit breaker / power switch assembly, three-conductor wiring, molded outlet supports, and an integrated strain-relief system.

Unlike a surge protector, no surge suppression components, printed circuit boards, MOVs, filtering components, telephone protection circuitry, or coaxial protection circuitry were observed.

<h1>Surge Protectors</h1>

<p>
A surge protector is a device intended to protect electrical equipment from transient overvoltage events,
commonly known as power surges.
</p>

<p>
Surge protectors have been sold in many forms, including outlet strips, wall-mounted devices,
telephone protectors, network protectors, and whole-house protection systems.

<h2>Historical Notes</h2>

<p>
Surge protectors have evolved significantly since becoming common consumer products during the 1980s and 1990s.
Many early devices relied primarily on metal oxide varistors (MOVs), while later products incorporated
additional filtering, telephone protection, network protection, and power conditioning features.
</p>

<h2>Collector Notes</h2>

<p>
Devices documented on OldSurge.com are presented for historical and collecting purposes.
Older surge protectors may no longer provide their original level of protection and should not be relied upon
to protect modern electronics.
