The combination of ample amperage and a sturdy cord ensures consistent power delivery across all four outlets.
- Simple, tool-free mounting: The snap-on, slide-off mounting design enables quick installation and easy repositioning as your layout evolves. This feature is ideal for classrooms that reconfigure seating, workshops that retool layouts, or offices that need flexible power access without permanent mounting hardware.
