Construction Notes

Widely spaced outlet at the end for transformer-style wall-wort power adapters

A widened gap between the fifth and sixth outlets provides additional clearance for transformer-style power adapters and oversized power supplies.

The outlet section utilizes stamped brass bus bars and spring-contact receptacle assemblies rather than a full-length printed circuit board. Power is distributed through continuous metal conductors retained within molded channels in the lower housing.

The widened spacing provided between the fifth and sixth outlets is achieved through revised contact positioning within the bus-bar assembly, allowing improved clearance for transformer-style power adapters.

Internal Construction

Power distribution is accomplished through stamped brass bus bars running the length of the enclosure. Surge-suppression circuitry is concentrated on a dedicated printed circuit board located adjacent to the power-cord entry and power switch.

Inspection of the circuit board revealed the presence of metal-oxide varistors (MOVs), indicator circuitry, and a thermal protection device. The use of a dedicated surge-suppression module allows outlet current to flow primarily through the bus-bar assembly rather than across long printed-circuit traces.

Physical Description

The underside of the housing incorporates four keyhole-style mounting slots for wall or under-desk installation. The mounting provisions correspond to the wall-mounting instructions provided in the product manual.

The attached six-foot power cord terminates in a molded NEMA 5-15P grounding plug. Cord markings identify the cable as Type SJT construction utilizing three 2.08 mm² conductors.

Installation

Disassembly

The enclosure is secured using six Phillips-head screws, permitting non-destructive disassembly without drilling or cutting the housing.

Operational Testing

The documented example operated normally during testing.

The red Protected/Protégé status indicator illuminated when power was applied, indicating that surge protection remained available.

The integrated RESET/OFF power switch also illuminated during operation. The protection-status indicator was noticeably brighter than the lamp within the power switch and remained highly visible under normal room lighting conditions.

Testing with a receptacle tester confirmed correct outlet wiring and proper grounding.

Notes

Amazon identified the documented example as the "Old Version" at the time of acquisition in 2026, indicating that the design had been superseded by a newer revision while remaining available for purchase.

Acquisition

The documented example was acquired through the Amazon Renewed program in 2026. Although sold as a renewed product, the unit appeared unused and was supplied with original documentation.

The product was shipped in recyclable Amazon paper packaging rather than a traditional corrugated box.
