    Here's an easy way to plug in up to five of those giant "transformer" plugs!

    At the National Hardware Show Accell launched the newest addition in its popuarl line of "Squid" products. This one, the PowerSquid Surge Protector and Power Conditioner, still lets you plug in up to five of those giant "transformer plugs, and aim them in any direction.  It provides 1080 joules of surge protection to coddle sensitive electronics. This newest version features Power Line Conditioning which reduces audio and video noise caused by EMI and RF interference. To protect itself from damage, the PowerSquid will turn off if any of the devices that are plugged-in malfunction or if the total power drawn exceeds 1800 Watts. A lighted Green LED indicates that the wall outlet is providing power to the PowerSquid and that the wall outlet is grounded. A lighted Red LED indicates that the surge protection is active. The PowerSquid can easily mount to a wall to save space, to put out-of-sight or for improved accessibility. This device should be available in the next couple of weeks. Accell’s PowerSquid with Power Conditioner has an MSRP of $34.95. Once it's in the marketplace you should discounted prices online. Check the company's website for their $100,000 5-Year Connected Products Limited Warranty.
