APC Power & Surge Strips

Have a place to plug everything in and protect it wherever you are - at home, at work or while traveling. For computer equipment, laptops, entertainment systems and more, power strips and surge protection strips provide the flexibility and protective features you need. Choose from hundreds of options tailored for various uses to find the perfect power strip for your circumstances. Be sure to review all of our computer and tablet accessories, including extension cords, to find the right equipment and accessories for your home, office or business.

Flexible Options

Look for power strips and surge protectors well-equipped for your computers and electronics as well as your space and environment. Some power strips and surge protectors plug directly into wall outlets, some have just a few outlets, and some have a couple of dozen outlets. For conference rooms, consider round tabletop surge protectors, which have outlets for multiple staff to charge their devices while seated around the conference table. For workshops and other harsh working environments, look for a power strip designed to accommodate more extreme conditions, with added safety features.

Additional Factors to Consider

In addition to simple considerations like cord length and color, look for other features best suited to your home or working environment. For example, do you need a power cable with grounded outlets, and if so, how many? You'll also want to determine whether your power strip or surge protector should sit on the floor, affix to the wall outlet or sit on your desk. Do you need a surge protector that includes spaces for a fax or phone line as well? Consider getting a portable surge protector for charging devices while traveling, too. Remember that not all power strips include surge protection technology, so make sure you choose the one best for you.
