TrickleStar 12-Outlet Advanced PowerStrip 4320J Surge

The TrickleStar TS1006 is a 12-outlet advanced powerstrip that combines a master-controlled energy-saving switch with 4320 joules of surge protection and coax/RJ11 secondary protection.

Designed for media centers, home offices and multi-device workstations, this PowerStrip automatically cuts power to peripheral gear when your TV or computer is turned off, stopping standby (vampire) power waste while protecting connected equipment from voltage spikes. It includes a dedicated master-sensing outlet, multiple switched and always-on outlets, selectable detection thresholds to match different devices, LED status indicators and a durable 4-foot cord for flexible placement.

How does the TS1006 reduce wasted standby power?

Built-in detection circuitry monitors the master outlet and shuts off power to specified peripheral outlets when the master device (TV or PC) powers down. This prevents small but continuous phantom draw from devices like game consoles, DVD players and routers so they aren’t using electricity while idle.

• Master-sensing outlet automatically controls two switched outlet groups.
• Selectable thresholds (18W / 35W / All On) adapt to different master-device power draws.
• One always-on outlet for accessories that must remain powered.
• 4 ft cord lets you position the strip near entertainment centers or workstations.

What level of surge protection and filtering does it provide?

The TS1006 offers robust surge suppression rated at 4320 joules to absorb transient voltage spikes and help protect TVs, PCs, routers and peripherals. In addition to surge protection, the unit provides noise filtering to reduce interference and improve signal stability for connected electronics.

• 4320 joules of surge energy absorption for high-level transient protection.
• Coax and RJ11 secondary protection for cable and phone line connections.
• 40 dB noise filtering to lower electrical interference on sensitive gear.
• LED indicators for ground, surge status and control state.

How is the TS1006 organized for different plug sizes and setups?

The strip includes twelve outlets arranged to accommodate both standard and bulky transformer-style plugs without blocking adjacent sockets. A mix of switched and always-on outlets makes it straightforward to assign which devices should shut off with the master and which should remain powered continuously.

• 12 total outlets: master, switched groups and dedicated always-on sockets.
• Transformer-spaced locations to fit large AC adapters comfortably.
• Wall-mountable design keeps cables tidy and saves floor space.
• Four-foot power cord for convenient reach to wall outlets.

Will this work with modern TVs and computers without turning off prematurely?

Yes — the TS1006’s adjustable switching thresholds let you choose sensitivity that matches your equipment’s idle power draw so the strip won’t misinterpret temporary low-power states as “off.” If you need all outlets always available, the strip also supports an All On mode.

• Three detection settings (18W / 35W / All On) for compatibility with a range of devices.
• LED control light shows when switched outlets are active.
• Manual override and always-on outlets for critical devices.
• Designed to avoid unwanted shutdowns from sleep or standby modes.

Who is this for: The TrickleStar TS1006 is ideal for households and small offices that want to lower energy waste and protect multiple electronics in one convenient unit. It's a practical choice for media centers with TVs, consoles and receivers, as well as desktops and home workstations that need surge protection, noise filtering and automatic peripheral control without sacrificing access to always-on outlets.
