Save Time, Money amd Energy with the Smart Strip!

Save time, money and energy while giving your computer superior surge protection. It's as easy as 1-2-3. Never turn your computer peripherals on or off again! The Smart Strip Power Strip pays for itself in as little as six weeks! Available with or without Fax/Modem and Coaxial Cable Protection.

What is the Smart Strip Power Strip?

The Smart Strip Power Strip features advanced circuitry that not only offers excellent power surge protection and line noise filtering, but is actually able to 'sense' the flow of electrical current through the strip's control outlet. Because of this unique ability, the Smart Strip can turn off selected equipment when its not in use -- creating benefit that no other power strip on the market today can offer.

Save Energy.

If you leave everything on you can save money and energy by using a simple computer script combined with the Smart Strip Power Strip. In a standard office environment where the computers are left on 24/7, the computer would shut off at the end of the day or if it is not used for 1 hour (user/administer programable). Then, the computer and its peripherals would be on only 9 hours, 5 days a week. This results in a 73% power savings* on the power used by the office computer system.

*Smart Strip Energy Savings
24 hours x 7 days = 168 hours per week total, if left on.
9 hours x 5 days = 45 hours per week used, if shut off.
168 hours total b. 45 hours used = 123 hours of energy saved.
123 hours saved / 168 hours total = 73% energy saved.

Smart design is full of features.

The intelligent design for the Smart Strip isn't limited to its internal circuitry. The strip itself was designed especially for ease of use:

  • Simple red status indicator light clearly indicates when Smart Switching is active
  • 45 degree angled space saver plug designed so it won't block other wall outlets
  • Recessed, lighted power switch to minimize accidental switching (i.e, turning off power strip accidentally by kicking it). The power switch is also a 15 amp circuit breaker

Learn how it works.

A small electronic device inside the Smart Strip monitors the current on a single outlet. The computer is plugged into that single outlet. When the computer is finished shutting down, the current draw from the computer drops to its idle current -- and the Smart Strip senses the current change, automatically shutting off all of the computer peripherals.

Many great uses around your home or business.

Use a lamp to turn on your stereo or fan! Use a table saw to turn on a shop vacuum. And many more...

The Smart Strip Power Strip can be used anywhere a regular power strip is used. While only certain electronic devices (such as computers, monitors, fluorescent lamps, motors and electronic devices that have a high efficiency power supply) will turn on the switched outlets, 4 of the outlets are always hot and can be used just like a normal power strip. This allows you to automate certain repetitive tasks without any additional cost.

The following is a sample of what the smart strip can be used with to help you automate: 

Control Outlet Switched Outlets
Computer All computer peripherals, desk lamp
TV Home theaters, DVD, Cable box
Fluorescent Lamp Fan, home Stereo, small heater
Home shop equipment Work light, dust collector, shop vac

Best & most realistic guarantee on the market.

Smart Strip offers a 30-day unconditional return; 2-year guarantee on manufacturer defects; and lifetime return policy for damage cause by a power surge. Most other manufacturers offer a $100,000 replacement insurance on your equipment -- but did you know that they have never paid out a dime? Read their fine print and you will understand why. So which guarantee plan do you think is better for you?


The only power strip that helps environment.

ENERGY STAR studies show that if every home office replaced all their the computer equipment with ENERGY STAR labeled computer equipment, it would save 219 billion pounds of greenhouse gases. While ENERGY STAR does not have a category for energy saving power strips, by using the Smart Strip Power Strip" on your existing computer system, you will save more than just energy and greenhouse gases. You will be keeping more computers out of the landfills.

Consider the fact the office computers far out number home computers and that most offices leave their computers on 24/7 and this simple solution when used on all computers equates to being a BIG part of the solution for the Energy Crisis.

It's cheaper then a standard surge protector.

Our power strip costs less than most of the top-end surge protectors (1250 joules or more). This translates into you getting the energy savings electronics for free and still paying a lower price for the Smart Strip's top-end surge protector.

Top of the line surge protection.

Most surge protectors come with 1250 joules or less of surge protection. Smart Strip comes with 2225 joules, almost double the industry average. All Surge protectors have 1 fuse, Smart Strip has 4 different fuses. Each one responsible for a different Task. Then using one simple indicator Smart Strip monitors the status of the entire surge protector and the ground. This means your computer is protected twice as much as the average surge protector on the market.

Best noise filtering on the market.

The Smart Strip Power Strip is the only surge protector that uses noise filtering chokes that other companies leave it out because they consider it too expensive. The chokes eliminate high frequency spikes that film capacitors in standard surge protector do not catch. This adds a second layer of protection for your equipment, as well as optimizing the strip's performance.

More outlets, more power, more space.

Our power strip has ten outlets, including 4 transformer outlets. This give you plenty of room to plug in ALL of those gadgets that you have for your computer or home entertainment system. 15 amps of continous power handling means that anything your standard wall outlet can handle, our power strip can handle.
