good surge protector for use with wall warts

most are the big type so I need good spacing and hopefully 2 banks. Any favorites? maybe 10-12 sockets? All low wattage draw for external stuff.

I have a couple in this family: [www.amazon.com]

They work well, and have some decent spacing options. I initially was attracted to them because of the right angle wall plug. I needed something that didn't stick out behind a cabinet, and this fit that bill.

Or, don't worry about spacing - use these: 1' extension cords

I use a four-foot power strip with four pairs of outlets, on the window sill behind my computer table. Not a surge protector, but it's plugged into a CyberPower UPS:

Heavy duty, good for both desktop computers and HD power supplies.

I use a few.different ones.

[www.amazon.com]

To use larger warts with those strips, I use the short extension cords that Cary mentioned. I also have one very similar to the strip pictured above, with sockets that rotate.

I have had a Tripp Lite Isobar set up for the main computer area for probably at least 20 years. This is an old tenement building,, and even after some rewiring in the 80s, there are very few outlets. So good strips are a must.



My life goes smoothly and in regular intervals

I do the 1' extension cords for wall warts. Got a good deal on 5 of them a few years ago... I think I paid $1 each for them.

That's the only case in which I'd agree!

I love Galaxy Quest!

Especially Sigourney Weaver's contributions.
