Its compact 24-inch body hides neatly under desks or along walls, while the 6-foot cord gives you flexibility to reach distant outlets without compromising safety or organization.

• Five outlets with 90-degree rotated receptacles designed to accommodate bulky transformers and power adapters without crowding adjacent outlets.
• Lighted switch provides immediate visual confirmation that protection is active and the circuit is live, helping you monitor status at a glance.
• Durable putty white aluminum housing delivers lasting strength and a professional, low-profile aesthetic that blends into any environment.
• 15A rated surge protection shields connected devices from voltage spikes, surges, and transient events, helping extend the life of sensitive electronics.
• 24" (610 mm) length with a 6' (1.8 m) 14/3 SJT putty white cord and NEMA 5-15 plug; snap-on, slide-off mounting enables quick, tool-free installation.

The Sentrex design focuses on practical, user-friendly features that matter in real-world use. The 90-degree receptacles maximize outlet density while preserving access to each plug, even when space is tight behind a workstation or entertainment cabinet. The aluminum housing resists dents and scratches in high-traffic environments, maintaining a clean, professional appearance over time. The included 14/3 SJT cord with a standard NEMA 5-15 plug ensures compatibility with common power outlets across North America, while the 6-foot length provides convenient reach without excess slack. This combination of thoughtful details makes Sentrex a versatile solution for power management where reliability and ease of use are paramount.

Beyond basic protection, Sentrex is designed to simplify installation and daily operation. The snap-on, slide-off mounting mechanism allows you to attach or detach the unit quickly, reducing downtime during room setups, temporary displays, or office reconfigurations. Whether you’re mounting it under a desk, along a wall, or inside a cabinetry system, the compact footprint and clean lines help maintain a tidy, professional appearance. When power is needed, you can rely on the built-in indicator to verify that the surge protection is active, giving you confidence that connected equipment is safeguarded during storms, outages, or other power irregularities.

Rechargeable devices, AV gear, workstations, and small servers stand to benefit from the stability and protection Sentrex delivers. By providing multiple outlets in a single, organized strip with transformer-friendly spacing, you reduce the risk of overheating, loose connections, or crowded outlets that can compromise performance. The robust aluminum housing also helps dissipate heat and resist everyday wear, making it suitable for classroom demonstrations, media centers, or workshop benches where durability matters as much as protection. With its combination of practical features and reliable protection, the Wiremold Sentrex 5-Outlet Surge Suppressor/Protector stands out as a dependable power-management solution for professional and residential settings alike.

how to install Wiremold Sentrex 5-Outlet Surge Suppressor/Protector

Step 1: Decide where to mount the unit. Choose a location that keeps the outlets accessible while minimizing cord exposure. The snap-on, slide-off mounting system is designed for quick attachment to compatible surfaces such as walls, desks, or cabinetry.

Step 3: Route the 6-foot cord to a grounded, properly wired outlet. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cord and ensure the path is clear of heat sources, moisture, and foot traffic that could damage the cord over time.

Step 4: Plug devices into the five outlets, beginning with high-draw equipment first if possible. The 90-degree receptacles help you position bulky adapters without blocking adjacent outlets.

Step 5: Toggle the lighted switch to verify power and protection are active. In normal operation, the indicator should illuminate, signaling that surge protection is engaged and the circuit is live.

Step 6: Periodically inspect the unit for signs of wear, such as frayed cords, loose outlets, or discoloration on the housing. If any issues appear, discontinue use and replace the unit to maintain safety and performance.
