What is the difference between the power strip and extension cord

In daily life, people often confuse the power strip and extension cord, so what is the difference between them?
electrical power strip

power strip

The power strip consists of a series of electrical sockets with cables and electrical plugs at the ends. The device is designed to house and power multiple electrical devices that are close to each other, such as those in the entertainment room.
Some power boards have circuit breakers as a precautionary measure against short circuits or power overloads. In some modern designs, the power strip may have an automatic shutdown function when the device or appliance is idle for several hours.

Extension cord

An extension cable is a long cable with at least one socket on one end and an electrical plug on the other end. It is designed to extend electrical outlets to distant electrical equipment or appliances.

So if you want to increase the number of electrical outlets, use a power strip.
If you want to extend power to a distant device, use an extension cable.

Finally, whether you use a power strip or an extension cord, make sure to put it first. Do not overload so many appliances with the power strip and do not permanently fix the extension cord.

Guide to Power Strips and Surge Protectors What is the difference between a power strip and a surge protector? People confuse the two because they look exactly the same. I ca n’t tell you how many people went to the store to buy a surge protector, and when they got home, they found a power strip. The difference is that the power strip is just an extension cord with many sockets. That’s all. There is another element inside the surge protector, as far as electrical is concerned, it will “clamp” the surge. This means that it will make the wave disappear from the downstream computer, your flat-screen TV, stereo or other electronic products that you do not want to be damaged. vertical power strip surge protector with usb charger in Geos Is there a limit to what I can plug in or how many things?

Do you know the life of the power strip? How long should you change? Every product has a life cycle. Generally speaking, the number of plugs of a socket cannot be less than 4000 times. In other words, a qualified power strip must have at least 4,000 mating cycles. Therefore, a power strip can be used for about ten years if it is not used very frequently. Of course, in addition to the impact factors mentioned above, the service life of the power strip surge protector is also closely related to its quality. High-quality power strips can be used for about 10-15 years, and poor-quality ones can be used for 2 to 3 years. In general, the smart USB power strip with guaranteed quality will achieve the best results through various experiments during the production process, such as plug-in experiments, overload experiments, short-circuit experiments, and large surge experiments. Qualified power strip internal conductors are stamped from phosphor bronze as a whole, neat and neatly arranged,...
