TRIPP LITE TLM446USBB 6.0 Feet 4 Outlets 450 Joules Surge Protector with Metal Housing

The TRIPP LITE TLM446USBB is a 4-outlet, 450-joule surge protector with a 6-foot cord and four USB charging ports, suited to home-office users who want to power electronics and charge USB devices from one 120V unit.

Recommended For

• Desk-based workers powering a computer, router, printer, or desk lamp while charging phones or tablets from the built-in USB-A ports.
• Shared-workspace or small-office users who need four AC outlets, several USB-A charging ports, and a 6-foot cord for a compact electronics setup.
• Workshop, warehouse, or retail workstation users looking for a surge-protected strip with a metal housing for a fixed equipment station.
• Home-theater users with a small set of components—such as a streaming device, router, and a few peripherals—who also want USB-A charging nearby.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• At a home-office desk, connect a computer, printer, router, and lamp to one strip; it gives these devices shared power and surge and line-noise filtering, with four USB-A ports available for mobile-device charging.
• In a small living-room media setup, plug in a TV and compatible home-theater components to consolidate their power connections and add surge protection; the strip does not provide coaxial, Ethernet, or telephone-line protection.
• On a shared desk or counter, charge several phones or tablets from the four USB-A ports while keeping four AC outlets available for other electronics; the USB ports share their charging capacity.
• At a retail or industrial workstation, use the metal-housed strip to power a small group of electronics where a sturdier enclosure is useful; the manufacturer also identifies warehouse environments as an intended setting.
• When a desk or equipment area is a short distance from the wall outlet, place the strip nearby using its 6-foot cord, then connect up to four AC devices without relying on a wall-adjacent setup.
