BITS Smart Strip Power Strip LCG5

Up to 15% of your electric bills come from items that are left plugged in when they are not in use, or items that are in standby mode. You can reduce this ‘phantom load’. With this 10 outlet Smart Strip Power Strip, the outlets work together, switching your devices on and off automatically while saving you money on your electric bills.

Three outlets always have power, allowing you to plug-in devices that should never turn off (one of those is transformer-spaced). Of the other seven outlets, one outlet serves as the main outlet, and the other six outlets are "controlled" (three are transformer-spaced). The controlled outlets will automatically turn off when a 10%+ drop in current to the main outlet is detected, and will automatically turn on when there is an increase of 7 Watts or more in the main outlet. In short, you can plug your computer into the main outlet, and its peripherals into any of the other six outlets. When you shut down your computer, all of the peripherals will also turn off. When you turn on your computer, the peripherals will all turn on.

It is wall mountable, has a lighted power switch, and comes equipped with a 6-foot heavy-duty power cord. The Smart Strip has two RC filters to help prevent false switching. It uses 1 Watt of electricity when fully energized and 0 Watts when the switched outlets are off.
