Power strips multiply outlets where the wall provides too few: basic strips for desks and benches, surge-protected models that stand between equipment and the building's electrical noise, and rack-mount power strips that bring orderly outlets to equipment cabinets. Cheap, everywhere, and worth buying deliberately.
Separate the two jobs. A plain strip only adds outlets; surge protection is a rated, sacrificial function that degrades with every event, so anything electronic deserves the protected version, replaced when its indicator says the protection is spent. Count outlets against the actual plugs - power adapters are wide and hostile to their neighbors, and strips with spaced or rotating outlets earn their price at crowded desks. In racks, match the strip's plug and amperage to the circuit feeding it. For fit-outs, standardizing one desk model and one rack model keeps facilities stock simple. COLAMCO supplies power strips and surge protection at volume for business, government, and education facilities.
