How many of these amps can you plug into one outlet (with a power strip)? Any special extension cord you should use to power these up?

I don't claim to be an electrical engineer but I run two of these and my mixer through a 15a power strip with no problems. Thats probably not "code" but most places you play are lucky to find more than 2 outlets for the whole stage. As a side note I run either 2 or 4 -15s in stereo with one and 4 monitors with the second so you can get an idea of the load on the amps.

You can plug 2 + the mixer, eq and other sound processors with no problem. They are very efficient. I only use one outlet for all that

I don't know, it would depend on the strip lights you are trying to power and how much current each one draws. As long as the total current drawn is less than the rated output of this device (5 Amps) you could use only one, otherwise you would need more than one. Using only one for three strips might also cause some hookup problems if you are not technically adapt.

Hi. For one led strip will need a 12v DC 2AMP power supply. If you need to add another one and use only one power supply for both strips, you will need a strip connector to connect both strips and a 12v DC 4AMP (at least) power supply.

I have mine plugged into a power strip. I do not know if you can plug a power strip into it.

I don't have any info on amps - the power supply is 115V/60Hz. I didn't have to purchase any special plug.

14AWG should be handling up to 15A, I don't think this will be a good solution for that kind of amperage. I would suggest buying a single outlet extension wire for such purposes. I am not an expert, so please check some more

Yeah just like the previous response, you can run multiple strips on one dc adaptor.

I have run 2 strips through one of those 133 channel controllers. Just set the length to 100. 6A power supply going into the controller. No problems. You will have no problems controlling 4 strips, and you can inject power as you stated if necessary.

Assuming you mean power? Sure they are very low amps you could put several on 1 outlet. I was running 10 on one 20amp circuit + fog machines / dj strobes. Never an issue. If you mean to control - they are best controlled w/ a DMX controller or using a computer DMX box - but there is a dip switch mode that allows them to all do the same thing. For instance react to music. Or be the same color.

Four and Four. You could still use a plug-splitter if two of your outlets are low current.

Hi Sheena: Jeffrey beat me to it. The only caution you want to take is to not treat this a 4 ports each capable of 15 Amps.With best regards

Keep in mind each strip draws 3 amps at 12 volts, or 36 watts on full white. You must have enough wattage from your power supply to drive two strips.

You can plug anything in, they're just suggestions. The one thing to check is the switched vs. unswitched banks of outlets. The unswitched stay on if the power switch on the power strip is turned off, whereas the others stay on. Useful to think about how you might use the power strip's switch (e.g. leave DVR on as who cares if it is fried, but switch off all the amplifiers).

You only need one, the whole point of these is so that you can remotely power the amplifier. My drop amplifier sits outside, but it's nowhere near an AC outlet, so I have the DC power adapter plugged in inside the house and have the inserter hooked up there.

If you are tieng in 4 of these strips(24watts) to a power supply you will need a power supply of at least 96 watts. Dont worry about using a larger transformer and transformers are usually rated for full output...a 100 watt wold be fine. Use a constant voltage transforme not a constant current one! It is DC current.

Can they be plugged into a dedicated extension cord that is not a power strip or surge protector?

This is just a power strip or power "extender" if you will. They are super heavy-duty and work well. I plan on getting a bunch more later on.
