I mean, I'm sure the device itself is built like shit and a fire hazard that way but just plugging too much stuff in will (ideally) throw a breaker before it starts a fire. It's what the breakers are there for, after all. Before anybody says anything about it, yes an individual outlet can take the whole load of the circuit, precisely because of silly shit like this.
It actually looks like a skyscraper with sad faces looking out of the window :(
Saved me money in flints and steel... did not save me money in housing...
dorm, gaming room, fire.
Hmmmmmm. One those is more likely to happen then the rest.
Surprisingly appropriate use of "then"
Grammatical whiplash.
Dorm > gaming room > fire
Hmmmmm, did you have a stroke whilst typing that?
That last part just saying Fire is the funniest part
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...
It also has 71 outlets instead of 66 lol
I’m guessing it varies based on whatever components they had available when they ran that batch on the assembly line?
And, there's not 66 sockets either
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.
The only label I can see just says "Scart" (oh, and wifi I guess)
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.
What in the living hell is this?
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.
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

Now that I know this, uh, I might be about to buy one.
I own one. They're fantastic; you just have to realize what you have. You can't plug in a computer, three laptops, two monitors, and a space heater.
Most of the stuff I'm plugging in is a few watts.
Yeah, this is a solver for the oodles and oodles of devices that all insist on using their own dedicated 5v wall wart.
Space heater 1500W, PC 500W, 3 laptops 360W, 2 monitors 100W = 2460W
With our superior european 230V outlets you can in fact easily plug all that into one power bar :D
You can't plug in a computer, three laptops, two monitors, and a space heater.

What about a desktop, two laptops, speakers, a printer, four monitors, and some networking equipment? Asking for... Myself. I'm asking for myself.
I'd do some research if I were you. I don't like plugging anything into a surge protector without a solid warranty that covers equipment damage and I've never heard of SUPERDANNY..
In SUPERDANNY we trust
He’s like regular Danny, only more super.
I don't know... Tripp Lite (no affiliation) surge strips insure equipment you plug into them. For life...
Yeah, they all say that. And then when you try to claim it they have a million clauses in their fine print that allows them to weasel out of it.
Did you register to your equipment with them when you plugged it in? Do you still have your receipts? Did you use an extension cord anywhere in your power path at all? Did you know they only provide "current pro rata market value" for everything, which means their math makes all your computers worthless after they're a week old? Can you prove it was actually a power surge and not some other occurrence that took out your device? Etc., etc., etc.
Never trust your equipment to one of those guarantees.

Men only want one thing...
and it's dangerous as fuck.
It's only dangerous if the total Amp draw exceeds the cable limit.
I could fill this pretty easily and not break 10A
And that one fat bastard plug will still cover 9 ports around it.
Nice! I bet you could plug like six wall warts into that thing.

The original artist who made this is NanoRaptor, btw. You can find them on Mastodon.
Well, devices like that are sold by a Russian design studio since like 2005:

Can I get the male/male suicide cable and plug it into itself?
That looks just about enough for an average power user setup
Finally, a surge generator protector worthy of my x-mas tree and multimedia setup.
The high-gauge cable on the plug is chef's kiss
I'm stuck between "Omg yes pls! OwO" and "Oh God pls no!".
Not enough USB 3.0 ports >:(
Not enough PS/2 ports. :(
This is how you plug in a harpejji

Electrical Fire made this product
this thing is a really good source of heat in the winter
For when you really love that ozone mixed with smoke and burnt plastic smell in your dorm.
Plot twist: They're connected into a single serial circuit for safety reasons
I think they covered it with the last word in the description.
The amount of things plugged in doesn't really matter, it is the current draw that would cause problems.
It's not real....
surely nothing can go wrong
A Christmas Story intensifies
Those big plugs for everything take so much room.
For people that want to run a whole data center with only power outlet.
lighter 2.0
edit: more like 6.0 by the times its been repostes
Thank the gods-- experts!! Is this okay please? It's a 12 socket, 2USB, Surge Protector with Joule Rating: 3900
.Currently plugged in: Fibre hub and router; small TV; occasionally laptop.
It should specify its max wattage somewhere. But since it's 3900 joules which is quite a lot for a surge protector iirc, I assume it's decent quality, so should handle at least ~1800W which should be more than enough for the stuff you plugged into it
Thanks :)
Probably supports more power than the shown strip.
