We first have a Brennenstuhl strip, a German brand that sounds like little to you. But, to tell you that it is a very good brand, with very high quality and reliability standards. then we have a Bestek’s stripwhich allows us individual management of the plugs, something that can be interesting.
Bestek 4-socket power strip with individual switch
As a first option we bring you a power strip that is a little simpler but of good quality and with interesting features. This Bestetk power strip has cfour power sockets with individual switch. Something very interesting if we are going to have devices that we do not want or cannot disconnect for whatever reason.
The same is a particular case, but I have the router in the office and I have it connected to the same power strip as the monitor, computer and others. My power strip only has a general kill switch, so if I turn it off, the router turns off and I don’t care. For my case, this power strip is ideal, since I could turn off the monitor and the computer from the power strip and leave the router working.
In addition to the four power outlets, it has two USB ports to charge devices. This is very good, since we save having the mobile charger plugged in and we have free space left (or more if you have several devices that have to be charged via USB)
The strip supports a charging up to 3600W (which is equivalent to 15 A of current) more than enough for the computer and similar equipment. In addition, it offers us protection against overvoltages of up to 2000 Joules. It has been made of material resistant to wear, corrosion and heat. It has a 1.8 meter long cable.

High security Brennensuhl 8-socket power strip
It is very possible that the German brand Brennensuhl does not sound like much to you, but in the electric segment it is very well valued. It is considered a very high quality brand that offers security to users. All its products are certified with the highest quality standards.
This strip has a total of 8 plug sockets, which are managed by a general switch. It does not have individual switches for each socket and it does not have USB ports, as was the case with the previous strip.
This strip has two elements or characteristics that are highly remarkable. The first is that it has a 16 A fuse that offers us protection against overvoltages and supports a maximum load of 3680 W. By having this protection, when this current is exceeded, the fuse cuts and protects everything plugged in. But in addition, the one that integrates a fuse protects us against leakage currents of up to 13,500 A. This fuse can be changed very easily.
On the other hand, the strip has something very good and it is the power switch. The switch is usually located in the same area where the cable enters. This is impractical for installations, so it has been taken to the other extreme, making it much more comfortable. Note that this power strip has a 2.5 meter cable.
It is a product that I highly recommend, as it is directly designed to protect our computer or any connected device. In addition, it is the guarantee of a highly prestigious and recognized German brand with more than 60 years of experience in the electricity sector.
