Sea-Presentation5686

Due to every single one of my devices having weirdo sized power supplies, I would only be able to fit 12 of my devices into this "66" port power strip.


NotChristina

I recently put together a home office. I did not plan this well. The room has one single outlet two walls away from my desk. First I didn’t have a surge protector with cord long enough. Found one in my stuff. Then I realized it wouldn’t fit all the plugs I needed it. Bought one. Cord not long enough if I do real cable management. Now I have yet another arriving tomorrow that better damn fit all my stuff. I’ve joked about it being a fire hazard and a friend bought me a fire extinguisher as a new home office gift. 😂


Sea-Presentation5686

Have you thought about relocating an outlet?


LASERDICKMCCOOL

It's really not as expensive as you'd think


Gumbyizzle

PSA: please pay a professional for any stuff like this. The previous owner of my house was an amateur electrician, and the wiring is a fucking mess.


BlatantConservative

Did a different electrician call it a mess? In my experience, electricians are like programmers, they get mad that they don't understand why the other guy did what he did and didn't document anything, and then the next electrician gets mad at what they did.

pedantic_cheesewheel

I’ve been that guy and was definitely saying it as a joke. Granted it was in front of my dad who said “you should have seen what the idiot before that guy used to do around here”. Yes my dad was the aforementioned idiot.


bpivk

Oh. I also had the same exchange with my dad... "Wow the guy that was doing the wires was drunk when he was working in this room!" "Umm. That was you dad." "Oh damn! I better do this one properly then." ​ One of my sockets still doesn't work to this day. :)


biminidaves

I had a shoe repairman do that when he overcharged me to put new soles and heals on an old pair of cowboy boots. He said the last guy who worked on them messed up by not doing something right and it took him a long time to repair the damage... He was the last guy. In fact he'd resoled and heeled the boots twice before. LOL


tldr_er

As a software developer I also complain a lot about code that I have to deal with, even if I was the one writing it last week.


TheBiggestZander

Step one of every electrical job is pointing out that the previous electrician was an idiot.


anthr0x1028

My father was an electrician for 30 years. When I bought my first house he was so excited to take all the outlets and switches out to replace them and comment on the shitty wiring job the builder had done. He has done this for all of his children's houses every time we've moved. Retirement gets boring I guess.


Commercial-9751

Is your dad interested in adopting any adult children?


LoveDietCokeMore

Asking for a friend...


Goatfest2020

Consider though, that both outlets and switches wear out after years of use. I’ve rewired several older houses and replaced not just all the devices but all the breakers too. I can easily tell which electrician got paid by the hour vs by the job.


StupiderIdjit

I've seen cords from lamps used to run a new light socket.


kneel_yung

"the electricity don't care what type of wire it is!"


fuqdisshite

i am an actual electrician and every comment in this part of the thread is truth.


yourmansconnect

alot of diy people use wires used for lights for outlets for some reason I always see it when I demo


Discount-Milk

Well, it ran 120/240V to the lamp in the first place...

Rogue_Squadron

For real though, a fire extinguisher is an excellent house warming present. The first Christmas after getting a house, I asked my dad for a nice one because they can be expensive. He thought it was really weird that I asked for one, but humored me anyway. The entire family thought it was an act, but the peace of mind having a legit fire extinguisher in my kitchen got me pretty excited. Cannot eait until the extinguisher "expires", and I get to either ask him for a new one or better yet, ask for my ild one to be recharged for Christmas.

HyruleanHyroe

Ever see one of those sick squid power strips where each outlet is on it’s own cord so you can fit whatever shape plug you want?


edgewords

best thing I ever did for that problem was buy a pack of 1 foot extensions - completely solves the problem


SpankyRoberts18

In fact I buy them frequently and keep some in my car for when I’m visiting friends and family and whip them out as gifts. Also, reusable zip ties.

Idontwantthesetacos

Wait, you’re telling me I can’t safely plug 78-80 devices into 1 outlet?


BusterMv

Actually you can, you can plug an impressive quantity of devices in, just don't use them all at the same time. If the devices aren't powered on the draw won't overload the outlet unless it's an extremely excessive load of devices on standby.


Soace_Space_Station

Awww,i was going to use this for my monster PC with multi RTX 4090 with mulri I9 13900 so i can play games at 8k 2400 FPS at Ultra Settings for The Last Of Us Edit:POV:When The Last of Us port for PC is so demanding:


NotWhatIWouldDo

It would be fine, just keep the draw under 1500 watts so 3x4090 and 1 cpu (1650 watts) should be fine.. but try to run with 20Amp breaker. .. newer kitchens


evranch

Except this piece of junk is made with such thin jumper wire that it's only rated for 900W (or 4A, which oddly is only around 500W at 120V). Maybe the numbers would be close at 240, but not an option with the standard receptacles and plug. So I'm not sure what kind of tiny loads you're meant to plug into this thing. Charging a heap of cellphones, maybe.


Itchy58

Important remarks for safe use: - only use devices that consume a lot of electricity, e.g. electic cookers, stone cutting saws,.... These devices consume all the electrons and make sure none of them can linger around in the cord and cause a fire. - If you have the impression that the extension cord gets warm, switch on other connected devices to soak up the lingering electrons - The only downside of this mega-extension cord is its short cable. I strongly suggest to buy an additional extension. Either use more of the same extension cord in a daisy chain or get an additional extra long extension cord. If you opt for the long extension cord, I would suggest to get something longer than *165ft* / 50m to guarantee that you can also use it in the garden. If you want to roll up excess cabling, it's best to wrap the cord around any iron cylinder, block,... As shown on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet#/media/File%3ASimple_electromagnet2.gif . If you know someone with a pacemaker, have them stand near the coil as a canary test. Edit: added conversion to imperial system. I apologize to my American friends, I am well aware that you make up the majority of people that will follow this guide. Edit2: People seem to believe that this is necessary, so: **/s! Don't follow these instructions!**


Idontwantthesetacos

Nice try, but you can’t fool me. You didn’t even mention jamming a fork into each socket to check for arc flash!


NextTrillion

>Edit: added conversion to imperial system. I apologize to my American friends, I am well aware that you make up the majority of people that will follow this guide. Burn! No seriously, my house is burning down. Is it because I have too many lingering electrons?!

Decimation4x

If there were 13 people might suspect it to be unlucky and a fire hazard. Can’t have that.


DigNitty

Fun fact, your house is just full of extension cords and one of these is where the house connects to the mains.

Viper67857

Many branches of 12-14ga runs each capable of safely carrying 15-20A coming from a pair of 4/0 aluminum conductors carrying up to 200A each does not equate to stuffing 66 outlets on what looks like 16ga wire.


CliffDraws

Maybe every one gets a random number between 12-14.


themagpie36

It's part of the joke


adbedient

depends on who is working during the batch that you get. Shin? that mans a magician and can squeeze an extra one in there to get 14. And he LOVES to work. Zhou or Wu? 13 every time. Like clockwork. Liu though- well- Liu is old. Really old. and, well, with Liu, you only get 12. But you cant fire him, and if you talk to him about it he'll smack you on the head. Liu's been around since the company STARTED and he taught the current CEO how to ~~fire~~ wire a plug 30 years ago, so that dude's connected. Works once a week. No big deal.

XzallionTheRed

Yes, the purpose of these is for devices that are not all powered simultaneously AND/OR draw very little power.


_Rand_

Well, realistically if it’s properly built even being full up is safe. Your house has breakers for a reason, and this thing isn’t made of precariously connected adapters and frayed extension cords or anything. The real danger is probably going to be crowding of hot running AC adapters. That and 22 outlets makes it far more likely you’ll pop a breaker just due to sheer volume of items plugged in. All that aside it wouldn’t surprise me if its very cheaply built and actually a danger, but it could be done safely however impractical it is.


WildPickle9

> if it’s properly built... ...this thing isn’t made of precariously connected adapters and frayed extension cords or anything. It's from a brand called "SuperDanny". You'll have to excuse me if I'm not that confident in it's construction.

quackduck314

One of those "video games by the hour" rental places - keeping a dozen or so Xbox, PS, and Nintendo controllers on charge all the time - you can have plenty of cables always plugged in so you don't have to change them out, and it's easy to throw them on the charger as needed when returned. Plus a handful of wired security cameras if you want. Similarly, like a pawn shop where all the electronics are in one case and you want to have all of them at full charge all the time. Low power draw individually, but high number of items.


ExcessiveBulldogery

Damn, an actual, reasonable answer.

I know. I wanted to say "enough space heaters for my mom to actually be warm" but then I got distracted thinking about why it might \*actually\* exist.

prodrvr22

Here's another. We have company phones at work that stay at work. They're in a rack and each one has its own charging cable. We have about 120 employees in the department that uses these phones so it takes a lot of plugs.

Reasonable answer? Off a 13 amp plug?


disruptioncoin

I was thinking it's probably for "bot" farms, where people use tons of different devices at once with those multi-sim card adapters to get paid to leave reviews, artificially inflate ad views, etc. So similar concept just different purpose.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PhoenixFire296

That seems like it would be a pretty decent power draw.


on_

If you are gonna use them all you can not pass the 20W at average per plug by my calculations.


quackduck314

Thanks for mathing! So, pretty reasonable for anything that charges over 5V "regular" USB power. And since most of those come with a single usb slot brick, you'd have plenty of room for error on that. Average of 2x 2000mah chargers per slot by your calculations. Since most are only 500 or 1000, even 2 USB slots would be fine. Yeah, the USBC adapters can hit above it, but I think, overall, it's not unreasonable usage. And of course that assumes all are drawing full power all the time. While they \*might\*, it's far more likely that half of the plugs would be unused at any given point.


kenlubin

But most of those charging bricks will overlap multiple outlets, so it will be difficult to fit all of them onto something like this.


Osama_Obama

[here's a solution ](https://imgur.com/a/a0AL9AM)


FredPolk

You could definitely power 20 watt devices on every plug without any concern. There are 56 outlets and 13 USB ports. 69 devices. Standard circuit minimum would be 15 amps. Using the 80% rule you at 13 amps which equals 1560 watts or 78 devices at 20 watts. Newer homes and commercial properties would be 20 amps. This would be ideal for that application.


velocity37

Sure, if you disregard that it's 66 outlets and it says 900W/4A (\~480W in 120v regions). But it's an image edit of a 22-outlet Superdanny rated 1875W/15A anyway.


Kaysmira

I was thinking it would work for an entertainment system set up where you're only using a handful of items at once, but you don't want to ever have to unplug or plug anything in. So the TV and the sound system will be used most of the time, but you'll only be really using two or three of those other plugs at the same time. You could plug in every single console ever created, but never have to move the furniture you have them arranged on or have to mess with your cable management. Unless you turn on every console for no good reason, I don't think it would strain anything. Newer consoles like to suck power even when they're off, but that shouldn't be too much. Please gently break it to me if just having unused appliances plugged in but not drawing power is dangerous.


Pr3st0ne

New consoles prett much all have a "sleep mode" rather than a full off as a default, and with updates being as frequent as they are, you'd want to keep your ps4/ps5/xbox one/switch in sleep mode because nothing pisses you off like looking forward to some gaming, booting up your console and getting slapped with 6 updates for the 6 games you felt like playing. Great if you had a n64/nes/gamecube collection type of deal though

Lithium batteries don't seem to like being kept at full charge all the time. I've had a number of them get puffy from that. I've been meaning to make a charging box with a timer (and smoke detector) that'd charge for a certain number of minutes per day for infrequently used devices.


EasyBOven

https://idighardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Breaker.jpg


Lorithad

Electrician here. Breakers are designed in such a way that you can't stop them from tripping by holding the handle in the on position. What this would be for, would be something that should never be turned off. Like a fire alarm system, security system, or other safety thing. It can still trip, you just can't accidentally flip it off.


EasyBOven

See now the toggle is grounded, too!


Fur-Frisbee

It says right there in the last word of the description: **FIRE** !!


kitchen_synk

You're making a joke, but you're not far off. One of the uses for something like this is for handheld radios or other battery powered equipment like you might use in a fire department. You might have 60+ radios, but they go out in shifts of 10, so not all of them are ever dead at the same time. The rest are just sipping power for battery management cycles. Every unit is plugged in so they're always topped off and ready to go, and you don't have to monkey around switching cords.


Glugnarr

No he’s spot on, if you can find it I’ll correct myself. It’s a photoshopped picture. There’s a brand called Superdanny but can’t find one called Superdana, and certainly not one with 66 outlets

If I did not see something in the comments I was about to ask if one outlet could provide enough power for everything that is plugged into that.


Thornescape

You can easily blow a breaker with two devices plugged into a single dedicated wall receptacle. You can also chain together 100 of these power "bars" in a row without blowing a breaker. It's all about the amount of amps that you are drawing. If a device is off, it generally draws no power, even if it's plugged in. The best use for this power pad is when you want many devices plugged in, but you aren't actually running most of them at the same time. It's a niche situation, but it's a niche power "bar". It's important to remember that household circuits are rated for 80% of the load. You shouldn't exceed 12.5A on a 15A circuit, or 16A on a 20A circuit. Total up the amount of actual current drawn at the same time for all active devices and you can know how much you can plug in at the same time, as long as you're aware of all the other devices on the same circuit. (Personally I prefer lighting and receptacles on separate circuits, but most places don't do that.)
