    K-Mart has the wide spaced type for $10 if that suits you better.

      I like this Arlec one. But no mention of the surge protection Joule rating anywhere.
      I suspect it will be around 175J or below.

        Yes it was around that. Packaging is gone now so I can't check.

    Isn’t this the same thing?

    • spackbace on 02/02/2023 - 18:25

      Standard 6 Outlet also available for $6.50

      Standard vs surge protected

      • danct9a on 02/02/2023 - 18:26

        ah fair enough, I missed the surge protected bit. My bad!

        At 175 Joules is it even a surge protector? I remember seeing a thread where they should be at least 1000J.

        Edit: Well this one says ~2000+J

        • HardQuiz on 02/02/2023 - 19:15

          At least they have it in the description unlike other brands.

        • MetalPhreak on 02/02/2023 - 21:12

          its probably just a basic MOV and LED indicator. Pretty much every product you plug into this has the same thing in it. 175J is one basic 450vrms MOV. There is a mov is every single LED driver or power supply i've seen or designed. Even the cheaper stuff. They are making bank on that premium over the basic non-surge ones.

          Note: the more expensive better quality ones are actually doing something. This one though is just more of whats in your devices anyway. It doesn't make it worse than a normal powerboard though. If cheaper go for it!

  • whichtyler on 02/02/2023 - 18:59

    No longer available. Shows as "usually available in 1 to 4 weeks" but won't allow you to add to cart or buy now.

    These surge protectors are not that good. Look up the stat for response time to surge - if they even publish that.

    Decent brand, I bought a few of a slightly different model and have been happy with them.

    Since there's a powerboard deal on the front page, anybody got a deal for one with a 2.4-3m lead? Preferably black.

    Only one I can find for reasonable prices is this 3m Jackson one for $25

    • spackbace on 02/02/2023 - 19:54

      Why not just buy a cheap extension cord?

      • OZKap on 02/02/2023 - 19:56

        Aesthetics. power board lead would go behind some drawers that would have to come forward for the extension lead connection.

        Found an Arlec 3m surge protected for $14

          Champion! Thank you for the link.

          For anyone wondering, it's best practice to avoid plugging a powerboard into an extension cord, so that's why powerboards with long cords are so useful:
          https://www.globeelectrical.com.au/safe-use-of-extension-lea…
          https://www.reddit.com/r/Adelaide/comments/9sv6dc/is_it_ok_t…

          Most likely nothing bad would happen, but I'd rather err on the safe side.

            @deadpoet: The added resistance from the plug connections in series adds up after a while. Here's Dave from EEVBlog taking it to extremes.

            Also with plugging a powerboard in to another powerboard, the danger is also having too many outlets on one circuit, increasing the risk of overload with power-hungry devices plugged in.

          • MetalPhreak on 02/02/2023 - 21:20

            @deadpoet: Power board should have a 10A overload breaker in it (the reset button thing). Extension lead should be good for 10A.
            Buy decent quality australian standard compliant stuff, take care of it, protect it from mechanical damage, and its fine.

            However its a rule people say because:
            1. crap quality stuff exists
            2. people overload them with double deathdapters
            3. exposed extension leads used permanently tend to get damaged
            4. (some) people like (need) simplicity :)
