New Power Adapter Fixes Space Issues

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the for-those-who-didn't-like-the-clutter-of-the-squid dept.

Tributaries has just announced a solution to all or your oversized power adapter woes. The new T12 power strip features 12 different outlets and eight of them are located on the edge and can be rotated by as much as 90 degrees. The adapter also provides surge protection for RJ-11, RJ-45, and Coax if you so desire.

    You can just buy one foot sections of "extension" cable that allow you to use all the outlets on your strip...plus they're cheap.

  2. WAY too expensive by d3ac0n · · Score: 4, Informative

    Ok, 12 rotating power outlets and surge protection for $120.00 US....

    Or I could just get 3 of these: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/travelpower/81f6/

    for less than that, still have surge protection, and get 3 MORE outlets to work with.

    How the hell does this garbage rate Slashdot front page status?

  3. Power Squid = Better by corsec67 · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Power Squid or PowerSquid Surge are better, since you can get the same amount of outlets for cheaper, and they can be plugged into larger wall-warts easier. Even better is that you can often get the Power Squid for free from ThinkGeek through the geekpoints program.

    This /. advertisement is just silly, this isn't news, and is barely stuff that matters.

    Or even better, buy a PowerSquid.

    I bought one of these about 8 months ago. What's so great about this new one?
