Specs very lacking: #sense outlets?, # always-on outlets?, #switched outlets?, etc.

It's simple - look at the photo. ONE sense outlet, TWO always on outlets, and FOUR switched outlets.

This power strip has a couple of outlets that are "always on" whenever it's plugged in to a wall receptacle. The strip offers surge protection to anything plugged into it, however, some of the outlets are switched, meaning that they will turn off when whatever is plugged into the "sensing outlet" is turned off. There is just one sensing outlet, several switched outlets controlled by the sensing outlet, and two "always on" outlets. The reason for the always on is because if you have, say a DVR or a VCR that is set to record something at a certain time, you wouldn't want that component to be automatically turned off along with, say your TV. However, for other components that are used only when your TV or home entertainment center is in use, these outlets will turn off when the sensing outlet tells them that whatever was plugged into the sensing outlet has been turned off. This keeps the other, non-essential components from using any power when they are not needed and saves energy. Surprisingly, many electronics use energy even when they are powered off. Also, those little AC adapters for video games and so forth are always using some power when they're connected, so you can kill them automatically with this strip. I hope this explanation helps. When I first got mine it was a little confusing to figure out at first and the instructions weren't very clear. Good luck! Jeff

Sorry, Sarah, haven't a clue. I'm a PC person. Specs *should* say, but I don't think they do.

I just got my unit. Whereas it works as it should, the size of it is astounding and it uses a power supply. My previous unit was pocket sized and used the USB port on my laptop. The cumbersome size and the required A/C supply will make this unit so unattractive. It is definitely a few years behind the current technology. That price drop is necessary for it to be a deal. Had I known of its size and power requirements, I would have paid more and chosen a modern, small, USB powered unit.

I'm not sure but you could check it out on YouTube or ask someone with tech experience like a Bestbuy co-worker.

As of now, not officially supported although it will "work" but may create problems with sleep/hibernation while plugged in

I'm sorry Don, but I don't know. I can tell you I haven't been able to figure out how to use the occasional plugs in the power strip and I regret making the purchase.

I don't believe it has the necissary switch or wiring. It's been over a year since I installed the one I have and my memory doesn't work so good any more.I'm pretty sure it did not have that feature.

thats info is not anywhere. run off standard 12v line, battery, fuse box, or cigarette adapters. Power Consumption : &lt; 8 W

Just follow manufacturer's recommendation or try to plug through a surge protector and see if there's any difference. Please post the results.

It takes DC12V, PoE; Power Consumption: Max.4W. I am not sure about 802.3af compliant.
