The Versatile Solution for Commercial Applications

With vertical or horizontal installation, a rugged housing and plenty of outlets, Tripp Lite's PS4816 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 PS4816 to be installed wherever reliable, multi-outlet power distribution is required.

16 Convenient Outlets Power All Standard Electronics

Featuring 16 outlets compatible with all standard electrical equipment, the PS4816 is an ideal solution for applications or locations that require power to many devices simultaneously. The 48-in. housing spaces the outlets 2.717 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 PS4816 far away from its power source and provide power distribution to previously un-powered areas with the extra long, 15-ft. power cord. The PS4816 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 PS4816 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 PS4816 when it detects that the equipment load is drawing too much power.

Reliable, Heavy-Duty Housing

The PS4816'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 Very good, but not great., May 8, 2011

This review is from: Tripp Lite PS4816 16-Outlet Power Strip (15-Amp, 15-Foot Cord) (Electronics)

I bought this to mount under my office desk so that I could plug all my computer hardware in and other misc. stuff. I previously had two different smaller strip plugs laying on the floor and it looked horrible and made it impossible to vacuum. This strip plug handles all my gadgets and leaves me 2 empty sockets for more stuff.

Pros:
Price. The local big box hardware stores sell similar strip plugs but at a much higher price.
Looks. This is a sleek and good looking power strip.
Cord. This strip plug has a VERY long cord and easily reaches from my desk to the wall outlet.
Power Switch. I like that the power switch is covered so it is not accidentally turned off.

Cons:
Mounting. I assumed there would be mounting holes on the back of the power strip - but there isn't. Actually, there is nothing on this power strip to aid in mounting it. I ended up using $30 worth of industrial Velcro to mount mine under my desk.
Plug Placement. I really wish the outlets themselves were rotated 90 degrees. As they are now, a large block style plug could obstruct the next outlet. Turning them sideways would keep this from happening.
Power Switch. While I like having a covered power switch, the latch faces an outlet and makes it very difficult to unlatch the cover without unplugging the outlet closest to the cover.

Overal all I'm very happy, but adding mounting holes on the back, placing the power button cover latch on the opposite side and rotating the plugs themselves would make it a 5-star product and keep it better than the competition.

This review is from: Tripp Lite PS4816 16-Outlet Power Strip (15-Amp, 15-Foot Cord) (Electronics)

The best thing about the design is that it's barely a few millimeters wider than the outlets. Therefore, it's got an extremely thin profile which I love. I use this above my custom built workbench in my garage for power tools. It has a surge protector for safety-a must with power tools around.
Cheap price and 16 outlets makes it a must buy if you need this type of product. I like so much that I may use it for behind my bar renovation downstairs also.

This review is from: Tripp Lite PS4816 16-Outlet Power Strip (15-Amp, 15-Foot Cord) (Electronics)

Overall sturdy, well built, and superbly designed power strip. The plastic safety cover over the on off switch was made of stiff thin plastic and was broken when received. That part could have been made better using a more pliable or flexible rubber or plastic and achieved the same goal.
