Re: Is it ok to plug a power strip into another powerstrip?



In article <1183833048.102869.213920@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
says...

Someone told me long ago that you shouldn't plug one power strip into
another. Is that true?

Yes and no.

As long as the total connected to BOTH powerstrips doesn't exceed the
load capacity of the first and the load on the second doesn't exceed
the load capacity of the single socket it's plugged into on the first,
you're OK.

For example:

Two 4 way strips with any combo in any socket of:

Phone charger
iPod Cradle
PDA cradle
PC
Modem Router
Monitor
Printer
(socket reserved for plug of second 4 way strip)

Even if oyu put all of those on plugged in to either strip, you'd be
OK.
