The combination of a surge protector adapter and a power strip is possible without any problems.
Proceed as follows:
- Plug the surge protector adapter into the desired wall outlet
- Plug the desired power strip into the surge protector adapter
- Plug your devices into the power strip. They are now protected by the surge protector adapter
You can plug in outlets with or without switches.
The advantage of this combination over a power strip with integrated surge protection is that you can read the function indicator of the surge protection adapter directly on the wall socket. You can also easily replace the adapter if it is no longer functional.
Note: Plugging in a power strip with surge protection does not increase the level of protection.
