    Overview

    The TrickleStar Smart Powertap (175SS-US-4CD) provides premium quality surge protection while reducing vampire/standby power consumption for a PC or TV and its peripherals. Built-in current-sensing circuitry with two selectable switching thresholds detects when a Control Device (typically a TV or PC) is On, Off, or in Standby, and switches the designated outlets accordingly. Easy to install, suitable for both residential and workplace applications.

    Key Features

    • 4 outlets: 1 Control Outlet, 1 Always On Outlet, 2 Switched Outlets
    • Selectable switching thresholds: 18W / 35W
    • 144,000 Amps / 2160 Joules X3 Surge Protection
    • LED status indication for Ground, Surge Status, Control, Always On Outlet, and Switched Outlets

    X3 MOV Surge Protection

    The TrickleStrip™ incorporates advanced X3 surge protection technology beyond standard MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) components. The MOV is encased in a ceramic casing capable of suppressing more energy and dissipating heat faster than traditional MOVs — and is fireproof, helping prevent fire during abnormal surge conditions.
