Home > Consumer Reviews > Kensington SmartSockets Basic Adapter/Surge Protector with Eight Color-Coded Outlets (62689)

So many auxiliary devices these days require power converters whose plugs will not fit adjacent to each other on a regular strip protector. This device solves the problem well and at a fair price. You may want to mount it externally on a piece of plywood together with a powered USB hub. I did and it makes the jungle of wires more controllable.

I finally got this to replace an old clunky surge protector. This one is great and lets me put utilize all plugs rather than covering up several with adapters. Good job!

I bought this surge protector because I have several components that have the large transformer plugs that take up the space of two or three sockets on a normal surge protector. With this product I can now use every socket because the sockets are turned 90 degrees and there is space between each socket. My large transformer plugs fit very nicely. It is a bit large, but that is not a bother for me. I have read other reviews where they stated that either the plugs were falling out because they fit too loose, or they couldn't insert a plug easily. I have not had either of these problems with mine and I bought two of them. All in all, I recommend this product. For those who may be concerned about the size, this surge protector is 12" long by 5.25" wide.

The first thing that shocked me is how large this surge protecter is. But then, I realized that the spacing of the inputs and the fact that they all face outwards makes it good for avoiding the problem when some plugs take up the space for 2. Doesn't happen with this

No more cords all over and no more sacrificing socket space because of my oversized PDA, phone, and other chargers.
