TLM825USB
8-Outlet Industrial Safety Surge Protector - 2 USB-A Ports, 25 ft. Cord, 1960 Joules, Metal Housing

And they’re yellow so clearly we need to announce them with a song!

In the factory’s metal sea
Where spikes and surges roam so free
Two surge protectors hold the line
Yellow shields that keep you fine

We all trust our yellow surge machines
Yellow surge machines, yellow surge machines
We all trust our yellow surge machines
Yellow surge machines, yellow surge machines

TLM704SA’s the name
Seven outlets keep you in the game
450 joules will take the hit
Four-foot cord, plug in and sit

We all trust our yellow surge machines
Yellow surge machines, yellow surge machines
We all trust our yellow surge machines
Yellow surge machines, yellow surge machines

TLM825USB
Eight outlets hum in harmony
1960 joules, that’s a lot
USB-A ports? They’ve got the spot!

With a 25-foot cord so long
Power where you need it, sing this song
Phones and gadgets, surge-protected dreams
$75K insurance gleams!

We all trust our yellow surge machines
Yellow surge machines, yellow surge machines
We all trust our yellow surge machines
Yellow surge machines, yellow surge machines

In the factory where we strive
Yellow surge machines keep us alive
Lifetime warranty, never alone
In the harshest world, they’ve got the throne!

I like the cord wrap and hang holes on the TLM825USB. The only thing I don’t like about these is they don’t leave much room for the bulky transformers. I’ve become a huge fan of the strips with rotating plugs for this reason, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one from Eaton/Tripp Lite.

Edit to add: Oh, and thanks for the ear worm!

They’d go great with my DeWalt tools

Yeah, there’s room for one transformer block on this one.

We do have some models with the rotating outlets.

That’s pretty frickin’ cool.

Awesome, thanks! Slightly pricier than what I’ve been buying, but then yours has the 50K insurance. I’ve never been able to use the ones I have for anything of value.

I have rackmount power strips that have a covered on/off button to prevent accidents…no other power strips are allowed in my network or server racks. (I believe they’re TrippLite brand??) If you guys made something like that, that would be awesome too! No need for surge protection, as power filtering comes from the UPS’s.

Now, for desk workers, or other non-IT functions (like, say, my personal AV setup at home?) these would be fantastic!

[mike-eaton]

Yes, we do have rackmount surge protectors: Rack-Mount Surge Protectors | Eaton

And there are power strips as well: Network/Server Power Strips for Rack Equipment | Eaton

And they have the on/off button cover.

When it comes to power strips and surge protectors, I always feel like the guy in Airplane II selling lunar shuttle tickets. He’s got everything! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raIWcVQyHNQ @Jeff-Grettler-Spiceworks 80s movie reference!

[Jay-Updegrove]

That’s awesome, and the prices are comparable to other brands!! looks closer OH, I see Eaton and Tripp Lite on the same face plate! That’s why

Perfection!

[Repairatrooper]

I must buy oneand call it Stanley.

Does Spiceubddies lounge qualify as Industrial Enviroment?

[thomastheobald2]

Do these models require software drivers that are driven by Palantir’s data-gathering system?

[mike-eaton]

There are no special drives to make them do anything else. For some surge protector models there is a secondary board to perform secondary functions like tel, ethernet, coax, on/off, etc. functions, but no tracking or intelligence devices are involved. In the end, they’re fairly simple devices.

[Nerf_Herder]

We have them in our IDF’s for Switches

Reason to comment, are your USB ports safe and free of malware?
I can then troll Roger at the same time, as he trolls Kurt the Cyber-guy and also comment on your nifty yellow submarine approved power strip/surge suppressors
