What Does Power Strip Mean?
A power strip is an electrical device that is used to expand the capacity of a wall outlet in terms of the number of devices it can accommodate. It features an extension cord ranging from one foot (.3 meters) to some being longer than 30 feet (10 meters), with the number of sockets ranging from as few as two to a dozen or more.
Techopedia Explains Power Strip
A power strip is a block of electrical sockets that provides additional cord length and mobility to otherwise immovable wall sockets that are oftentimes placed in obscure and hard-to-reach places. Power strips are often used in areas of the house with a large concentration of appliances, such as the living room because there are so few wall sockets.
