COXOC CO-001S
The COXOC CO-001S is a six-outlet surge protector manufactured by COXOC during the consumer-computing era of the 1990s.
The documented example utilizes a textured plastic enclosure, six grounded outlets arranged in paired groups, an illuminated rocker power switch, and a permanently attached power cord. The model represents a product category no longer prominently represented within COXOC's modern product offerings.
The documented example is notable for its distinctive textured enclosure, paired-outlet arrangement, and apparent evidence of long-term consumer use.
Overview
The COXOC CO-001S is a consumer surge protector intended to provide both surge suppression and AC power distribution for computers, peripherals, office equipment, and household electronics.
The design utilizes six grounded outlets arranged in three molded outlet pairs together with an illuminated rocker power switch. The enclosure incorporates a textured finish that differs from the smoother plastics commonly used on many later surge protectors.
Although limited documentation of the model has presently been identified, surviving examples suggest that the CO-001S was marketed during the period when Taiwanese manufacturers supplied large numbers of surge protectors and power-distribution products for North American consumers.
The documented example was acquired as part of the OldSurge Archive's efforts to document lesser-known manufacturers whose products are increasingly absent from modern electrical-equipment markets.
Historical Context
COXOC was historically associated with surge protectors, power strips, and related electrical accessories. However, as documented by the archive's October 2026 review of the company's website, contemporary product offerings emphasize electronic connectors and related technologies rather than surge-protection products.
The CO-001S appears representative of the surge-protector designs commonly sold during the 1990s, a period when many consumer surge suppressors emphasized outlet count, illuminated power switches, and basic surge protection while retaining relatively simple external designs.
The model may provide insight into a product category that is no longer prominently represented within COXOC's modern product lineup.
