Power protection equipment manufacturer Tripp Lite has introduced its latest ECO-Surge suppressors. The new 12- and 8-outlet surge suppressors feature energy-saving outlets designed to conserve energy by eliminating “phantom loads.”
The new ECO-Surge products feature a green outlet array with master and power-save outlets that cut power to idle peripherals when the primary device is turned off. For example, if a notebook computer is connected to the master outlet, turning it off will also automatically cut power to peripheral devices connected to the power save outlets, such as monitors, printers, scanners, or desk lamps. This feature eliminates wasteful “phantom loads” that continue to consume electricity even when a device appears to be turned off.
“We’re excited to be introducing these new, environmentally friendly surge suppressors to the market,” says Karenann Brow, Tripp Lite’s senior product manager. “With their innovative green outlet array, they save money, conserve electricity, and reduce carbon footprints — without sacrificing the high level of power protection that home and business users demand for their valuable equipment.”
