    Everyone’s laughing at the fire hazard, but I would unironically buy this if it was a power strip and not a surge protector because I’m already basically doing this with four separate power strips into a single uninterruptible power supply for all of my retro video game consoles, modem, router, roku, and my television. The trick is basically nothing is ever on at any given time so right now the current output is only 36 watts.

        Okay, I’m actually onboard with those things. It’s usually a cable with a single wall plug on one end and four C13 plugs at the other. So you could plug in two monitors, a desktop PC and a printer, say, with just one socket. They’re a lot neater than having a whole power strip and four cables. I’ve also seen ones that split one C14 into four C13s but I’m not as sure how I feel about those.

          SCART is a european (french, technically) audio/video connector and standard. It’s sort of like composite/component video in the US, except it’s far better, so retro game enthusiasts love it.

        Hah! It’s a rats nest that I basically dumped back there the last time I moved and the labels are from a long time ago before I had most of the stuff. It’s not like you get a new retro console every day so I’m almost never back there. That’s kind of the whole point. I plug everything in one time and then I don’t touch it until I move.

      I have the 22 port, actual, real version of this. It’s leveled up my cable organization game.

        Unfortunately these high capacity power strips always have surge protector functionality in them, and it’s a very bad idea to daisy-chain surge protectors because they can interrupt each other trying to stop the current and all of your stuff will get fried.

        Power strips are fine as long as you aren’t exceeding the maximum load, but they never come with as many plugs so that’s how I ended up with four different power strips and some 1 foot extension cords for all those damn wall warts.

        All of that is going into the handful of battery backup plugs on the uninterruptible power supply so if I’m ever playing a retro game and the power goes out, I don’t lose my progress! You know how evil games used to be; half the time you can’t even save the damn game lol

          I haven’t done an analysis of my power strip / surge protector layout, but my gaming system is just plugged into a UPS with six ports.

          The 22 port one is for my server closet. I’d love to show you, but for some reason my client won’t allow me to upload photos.

    Ah yes, for my 66… 13w? Devices.

    I guess a bunch of LED strings and maybe a phone charger (low-speed 5v 3a only).

    Edit: also, what is 12-14 usb charging ports? You’re not sure how many there are? Does it vary from package to package?

      The 12-14 USB ports is my favorite part, like they couldn’t be bothered to count, or it varies.

        I love how the cord is only 6" long, so you’ve either got to bolt this monstrosity to the wall immediately beside the outlet, or plug it into another extension…

          I’d expect this to be used in a factory for product testing, where they probably have sockets on the bench

          I might not understand 😅 Or I may have miscounted something. But in the middle there are 5 sockets in a row, there are 10 rows, on each side there are 8 sockets. That does seem to add up to 66 to me. What am I missing?

        I’m guessing it varies based on whatever components they had available when they ran that batch on the assembly line?
