5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says and no more. Which is a good thing., June 2, 2008

This review is from: Tripp Lite SS7415-15 Multiple Outlet Strip w/ Surge Protection 15-Amp 16 outlets 15ft Cord 450 Joules (Electronics)

I needed a new power strip for my home theater after adding a HTPC. I was previously using an old Monster PowerCenter HTS 2000 that I got for free several years ago and an APC office surge strip. I did a lot of research on various power centers, conditioners from Belkin, Panamax, Monster, Furman, APC and more. After encountering a lot of the same bizarre pseudo science and hand-waving one encounters in audiophilia and consulting with a couple of A/V professionals (not salespeople) I decided to skip that whole thing and just get a really high quality surge protector.

I've seen Tripp-Lite surge protectors in server rooms and IT workbenches for years and the form factor was appealing because it's about the most compact way to connect that many devices and still have room for all the various power bricks and adapters. So I took a chance and ordered this. I nearly got the 24-outlet Tripp Lite SS7619-15 Multiple Outlet Strip w/ Surge Protection 15-Amp 16 outlets 15ft Cord 450 Joules but I came back to my senses once I realized that my A/V rack is 48" wide and the larger version is a full six feet long.

In use it's actually very convenient to be able to group power plugs with all the space you have. I'm using 9 of the outlets now. As far as my sound and picture it's the same as when I used my fancy Monster strip which is exactly what I expected.

My one caveat with this thing is that it's not very friendly to home environments if you're concerned about hiding it. It's a full 4 feet long, the power cord is black and very thick. It works great behind a piece of furniture and the shape means it takes up less space than "side by side" models.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for organizing, September 30, 2008

- Get rid of 3 or 4 six ways.
- The outlets are solid so your plugs don't slip out.
- The aluminum framing is sturdy.
- The 15 foot cord let's you place the strip almost any where in the room.
- The switch is covered so you don't accidently turn it off when you are moving things around it.
- You can mount it on the wall.
- The outlets are spaced so you can plug wall warts(adapters) in every one if you want.
- If this one is to long (about 4 ft) you can get a 3 foot version for a great price.

Descent price, considering 3 or 4 decent surge protectors cost about the same but have shorter cords, less usable outlets(not much space for adapters) and requires more wall outlets to plug them all in or you have to loose an outlet to daisy chain them together.
I have 4 of these and will be getting more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Put an end to Cable Clutter, February 5, 2008

This seems like such a mundane item, but it is incredibly valuable.

Anyone with more than just 1 regular powerstrip's worth of items plugged in behind their desk suffers from cable clutter. I have 16 items plugged in (MacBookPro, Monitor, 4 drives, 2 printers, 2 scanners, USB hub, phone, cable modem, Airport, 2 lamps) and always cursed the tangle of wires on the floor. Now they are all plugged in to this strip that hugs the wall, and my cable clutter is almost gone. By far one of the most valuable computer accessories around!
