The PS3612 provides 12 standard NEMA 5-15 outlets in a rugged, all-metal housing guaranteed to last for life. The included hardware allows for both vertical and horizontal mounting making the PS3612 ideal for a variety of uses including office, rackmount, workbench, industrial and telecom applications. With the extra length provided by the 15-ft. power cord, you don't have to install the PS3612 next to outlets you already have; it can be mounted across the room and deliver reliable service where you need it most. A lighted and covered On/Off switch helps prevent accidental shut-offs, while a 15-amp circuit breaker guards against dangerous circuit overloads. Additionally, every Tripp Lite power strip comes with a Lifetime Warranty for guaranteed peace of mind.

The Versatile Solution for Commercial Applications

With vertical or horizontal installation, a rugged housing and plenty of outlets, Tripp Lite's PS3612 is ideal for point-of-sale and retail display applications. It provides reliable, consistent power service for multiple devices. Tripp Lite's power outlet strips can also be used in home office, workbench and rack enclosure applications. The included mounting hardware allows the PS3612 to be installed wherever reliable, multi-outlet power distribution is required.

12 Convenient Outlets Power All Standard Electronics

Featuring 12 outlets compatible with all standard electrical equipment, the PS3612 is an ideal solution for applications or locations that require power to many devices simultaneously. The 36-in. housing spaces the outlets 2.638 inches apart from center to center, allowing enough room for most AC adapters and transformers.

Power Previously Un-Powered Areas with Extra Long Cord

Install the PS3612 far away from its power source and provide power distribution to previously un-powered areas with the extra long, 15-ft. power cord. The PS3612 can be mounted in a different area, or a completely different room from where it draws AC power, putting you in control of getting reliable power service where you need it most.

Premium Safety Features

The lighted On/Off switch features a translucent cover that eliminates accidental shut offs while still allowing you to see whether the PS3612 is operational with a glance. A built-in, 15-amp circuit breaker prevents dangerous circuit overloads that could damage equipment. The breaker immediately shuts off AC input to the PS3612 when it detects that the equipment load is drawing too much power.

Reliable, Heavy-Duty Housing

The PS3612's rugged, all-metal housing is durably constructed making it a great solution for industrial, retail display and workbench applications.

Lifetime Warranty

Get peace of mind with Tripp Lite's Limited Lifetime Warranty, which protects your product against any technical defects or malfunctions for as long as you use it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Multi-outlet strip, May 4, 2009

This review is from: Tripp Lite PS3612 Multiple Outlet Strip 15-Amp 12 outlets 15ft Cord (Electronics)

The major drawback to this item is that the outlets are mounted 90° from where they should be. As almost all wall warts plug in with the cord between the blades of the plug, that means when plugged into this strip the cords are in-line with the strip instead of at right angles to it as they should be. For this reason, even though the outlets are wide apart the cord still blocks the next outlet in line so I can only use half of them.

This review is from: Tripp Lite PS3612 Multiple Outlet Strip 15-Amp 12 outlets 15ft Cord (Electronics)

I use this power strip for my computer and peripherals, tied into a battery backup power source. After trying a few other similar products that didn't hold the large DC converter bricks in place, I was impressed with this product's ability to grip the plugs. The construction is first-rate. The sockets are widely spaced, oriented along the aluminum bar so that your cords don't stick out at right angles, but the down-side is they may interfere with adjacent bricks. Still, I preferred this arrangement, as it lessens the chance of the bricks working themselves loose. I also like the cover over the switch and the bright red indicator light. Tripp Lite has consistently manufactured products to a higher standard than the competition, and this product is no exception. I recommend their power conditioners as well--like the power strip, they tend to be more ruggedly built than the other popular brands.

This review is from: Tripp Lite PS3612 Multiple Outlet Strip 15-Amp 12 outlets 15ft Cord (Electronics)

If you are looking for a power strip for your garage, workshop, or office, this is an excellent choice. I purchased one of these to mount to the edge of my workbench in the garage and my only complaint is the price! Now no matter where I am at my bench I have an outlet handy, and I can leave all the tools plugged in without having them "share" a single outlet or two.

Overall I am very impressed with the heavy duty construction of this item, and highly recommend it as a top notch product (albeit at a higher price).
