Surge Protectors & Power Strips - Protect Your Equipment

A power strip is much more than just an "extension cord." It's the first and most basic line of defense for your valuable electronic equipment – computer, TV, console, or Hi-Fi system. At Actii.pl, we offer both simple power strips and advanced surge protectors that protect devices from sudden voltage spikes.

Power Strip vs. Surge Protector

• Standard power strip: A splitter with a switch that allows you to connect multiple devices to one outlet and conveniently cut off their power. It usually has a basic fuse for overload protection.
• Surge protector: In addition to its splitter function, it is equipped with special circuits (usually varistors and gas discharge tubes) that "catch" and neutralize sudden, dangerous voltage spikes (e.g., from a nearby lightning strike or power grid failures). This protects sensitive electronics from permanent damage.

What to look for when choosing a strip?

• Protection level: Good surge protectors have an LED or indicator showing the protection is active.
• Energy absorption (J): The higher the value in Joules (J), the better the protection.
• Response time: The shorter (in nanoseconds), the faster the strip reacts to a threat.
• Number and layout of outlets: Choose a strip with the right number of outlets. Some models offer 45° angled or wider-spaced outlets, making it easier to plug in large adapters.
• Additional filters: High-end strips also have EMI/RFI noise filters that eliminate "junk" from the power line.
• Additional ports: Strips with built-in USB ports for charging phones and tablets are increasingly popular.
