TrickleStar® 7-Outlet Advanced Power Strip
TrickleStar® 7-Outlet Advanced Power Strip
Description
Although the TrickleStar® 7-Outlet Advanced Power Strip looks like a regular surge protector, there is a big difference. In addition to advanced surge protection, this power strip prevents unnecessary power drain by devices that are plugged in but not in use through the use of “control” and “switched” outlets. This helps you save money and energy, without even thinking about it.

Please note, this strip includes 7 total outlets consisting of 1 control outlet, 2 always-on outlets and 4 switched outlets. The switched outlets will only power-on when the main device in the control outlet is turned on.
Features
Flexible Outlet Options
This 7-outlet model offers 2 always-on outlets for devices that you do not want turning off automatically. The remaining outlets consist of 1 control outlet and 4 switched outlets. The device in the control outlet must be on to turn on the devices in the switched outlets. When the device in the control outlet turns off, so do the devices in the switched outlets. Save energy and money without trying!
The control outlet is current-sensing. It has 3 selectable switching thresholds (10w, 22w or 42w) to sense when the control device is on or off, and it then turns the switched outlets on or off accordingly.
TV Setup Examples
- Control Outlets: TV
- Switched Outlets: Blu-ray device, DVD Player, Soundbar, Game Console*
- Always On: Cable box, DVR
*Gaming consoles without hard disk drives (HDDs) can be plugged into the switched outlets. Gaming consoles with HDDs need to be plugged into the always-on outlets.
PC Setup Examples
- Control Outlets: PC
- Switched Outlets: Printer, Monitor, Speakers
- Always On: Modem, Router
