CCCEI 12-Gauge 20A Heavy-Duty Power Strip 4800J Surge

The CCCEI 12-gauge heavy-duty metal power strip is a 20 amp, 6-outlet surge protector built for workshop, garage, and industrial use with a 4800J surge rating and a 6-foot 12AWG cord.

This robust power strip combines a metal housing, a high-capacity cord and a T-slot adapter to support high-draw tools and appliances safely. It includes a manual reset switch with a built-in 20A circuit breaker and overload protection. The design focuses on durability and mounting convenience so you can install it on a wall or place it on a bench for frequent access.

How much electrical load can this strip handle?

The CCCEI unit is rated for 20 amps at 125V (AC), which equals up to 2500W on a properly wired 20A circuit. When used on a 15A branch circuit, do not exceed 1875W to avoid tripping the breaker or overloading the feed. The included 12 AWG, 6-foot cord and the 6-20R T-slot adapter allow connection to either 15A or 20A receptacles while maintaining safe wiring practices.

• 20A, 125V, 60Hz; 2500W max on 20A circuits
• Use on 15A circuits limited to 1875W
• 12 AWG, 6-foot power cord for heavy loads
• 6-20R T-slot adapter included for compatibility

What surge and safety features are included?

This strip includes a 4800-joule surge suppression rating to absorb larger transient spikes that can occur in workshop environments. It also offers a resettable on/off switch that doubles as a manual disconnect and an internal 20A circuit breaker for overload protection. The metal chassis improves heat dissipation and physical durability compared with plastic housings.

• 4800J surge suppression for transient protection
• Resettable on/off switch and 20A circuit breaker
• Metal housing for strength and heat management
• Overload protection to help prevent wiring faults

Can it be mounted and how is it best installed in a shop?

The strip is designed for wall or bench mounting with predrilled slots to accept screws, making it easy to secure near a workbench or tool chest. Place it where cords are tidy and reachable, and avoid exposure to direct moisture—if used outdoors, protect it with appropriate weatherproofing. For heavy equipment, ensure the feed circuit is rated correctly and avoid daisy-chaining additional strips.

• Predrilled mounting slots for wall or desk installation
• Keep in dry, ventilated areas; protect if used outside
• Mount near tools for tidy cable management
• Do not connect multiple heavy-load strips in series
