Description
Designed for the demanding environment of hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities, this Eaton Tripp Lite Safe-IT power strip combines medical-grade reliability with practical versatility. Featuring UL 1363 medical-grade certification and the industry’s trusted hospital-grade outlets, this power strip is built to endure the rigors of daily use in non-patient-care areas such as nursing stations, pharmacies, offices, and administrative spaces. With antimicrobial housing, safety covers to protect unused outlets, and convenient USB charging, it delivers a safe, tidy, and efficient power distribution solution that helps healthcare teams focus on patient care rather than electricity management. Whether you’re equipping a bustling nurse station, a medical office, or a pharmacy counter, this power strip offers reliable, flexible power access for monitors, labelers, printers, charging devices, and an array of essential healthcare peripherals.
- Six hospital-grade outlets for high-demand equipment: The power strip provides six NEMA 5-15R-HG hospital-grade outlets engineered for repeated use in medical environments. These outlets deliver robust, secure power connections for critical devices such as monitors, printers, medical carts, labeling equipment, and ancillary devices in areas outside the patient room. With hospital-grade construction, they are designed to resist wear, ensure dependable grounding, and stand up to the daily rigors of busy healthcare workflows.
- USB charging to simplify device management: Integrated USB charging ports offer convenient power for smartphones, tablets, patient-care devices, and other USB-powered accessories. This eliminates the need for wall adapters and helps reduce clutter on work surfaces. The USB ports are readily accessible, enabling staff to keep mobile devices ready for rapid communication and information access during shifts.
- Antimicrobial housing for easier cleaning and improved infection control: The antimicrobial housing helps inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms on the power strip’s surface. This feature supports infection-control best practices in medical facilities and makes routine cleaning simpler, especially in high-touch areas where devices are frequently accessed by multiple staff members throughout the day.
- Safety covers protect unused outlets and simplify maintenance: Hinged safety covers shield each outlet when not in use, safeguarding sensitive electronics from dust, debris, and accidental contact while maintaining quick access when connections are needed. This design helps keep workspaces tidy and reduces the risk of accidental exposure to live outlets during busy shifts.
- Compact 2 ft cord for flexible placement: The 2-foot power cord provides convenient reach for placing the power strip on desks, carts, or compact workstations without creating cable clutter. The shorter cord length helps maintain a clean, organized environment in hospital corridors, nursing stations, and clinics while still delivering reliable power to essential devices.
