A power strip is a convenient tool for expanding the number of available outlets, adding surge protection, or providing USB charging ports.

This article explains which items should never be plugged into a power strip, why, and what safe alternatives exist for homes and workplaces in the USA / EU markets.

A power strip is a compact electrical device that expands a single wall outlet into multiple sockets, allowing several devices to be plugged in simultaneously. Depending on the model, a power strip may include protection (surge suppression), charging ports (USB-A/USB-C), switches, and smart connectivity for remote control or energy monitoring.
