The Smart Strip is a power strip that lets you intelligently control when your electronics receive power. It vanquishes 'power vampires' -- the electricity that your devices cost you even when they're turned off. Our SCG5 is on sale at our best retail price ever!

In addition to its smart power feature, the Smart Strip SCG5 has a vast number of improvements over a normal power strip. First of all, it's a true surge protector, offering 1225 joules of protection; and it covers all circuits, live->neutral / neutral->ground / live->ground -- which is not guaranteed by all surge protectors and can be a serious hole in your safety net.

Secondly, it 'washes' power. When you run a device with a heavy draw--a microwave, for example--the electricity dips when it's on and spikes when it's off. More complicated electronics such as computers and TVs are especially sensitive to this, and will wear out eventually because of it. The Smart Strip uses advanced technology to even the flow of power, so that any device plugged into it gets a steady supply. This reduces wear and extends the useful lifespan of your devices.

The status indicator light has its very own patent. Unlike the vast majority of similar products, the Smart Strip will detect your ground. If you're not grounded, the light will let you know something's wrong by not lighting up. This is especially useful in homes with mixed wiring, where the electrician may have placed a 3-prong outlet where it shouldn't be, as a shortcut.

Another great feature of a Smart Strip over normal strips is its ergonomic design. It's designed to be used. If you want to mount it on a wall it's got 4-way mounting brackets. The power switch is recessed so that it's not accidentally stepped on and turned off. The plug is made with a 45 degree angle to take up the least amount of space and accommodate the most types of situations. And the sockets are spaced out to provide enough room for the things we expect people to plug in. As anyone who's battled 'wall warts' can tell you, this can be a major headache relief.

Why do we usually charge more for the SCG5? Because the SCG5 also provides cable protection. If you use cable, then this Smart Strip can provide more complete protection. I personally have lost a computer that was protected by a surge protector, because my cable modem was unprotected. The modem, my motherboard and my hard drive were all destroyed. This additional feature is worthwhile if you value your cable-connected electronics.

How it works:

Plug your computer (or other device) into the blue "Control" outlet and your peripherals into the white "Automatically Switched" outlets. When you turn the PC (or other device) on, the Smart Strip turns on the "Automatically Switched" outlets and when you turn the PC off, the Smart Strip completely cuts power to the"Automatically Switched" outlets
