You might be wondering why on earth we are bothering to cover this type of simple gadget? Well this one is different in that it accepts six plug packs if needed because of the wide spacing and the recesses. We were going to include a photo of our old unit but felt it might destroy what little credibility we have left! When a standard power board is mounted vertically, plug packs can sometimes work themselves free over time. The recessed sockets on this board prevent that from happening and, of course, from making potentially dangerous contact due to partially exposed mains connectors. The board also features telephone line filtering for modems/faxes, and separate LED surge and power indicators. Each mains socket is individually switched with illuminated rocker switches for quick reference, eliminating the annoyance of having to unplug an item that doesn’t have it’s own mains switch, such as plug pack-powered multimedia speakers, for example. Naturally, the mains filter includes overload protection as well as a circuit breaker. Ours came from Jaycar Electronics - $64.95. Get together with 3 mates and the price reduces to $58.50. More info at the great Jaycar site. Absolutely recommended!
