TrickleStar TS1104 7-Outlet Energy-Saving Surge Protector – 1080J, 3 ft Cord, White

Overview

The TrickleStar TS1104 is a seven-outlet surge protector designed to help you manage energy use in living rooms, home offices, and small workspaces. With four switched outlets controlled by a single outlet, it provides a practical way to curb idle power draw while keeping essential gear powered and protected.

How it works

The TS1104 watches the ON/OFF status of the device plugged into the control outlet (for example, a TV or a computer). When that device turns off, power to the four switched outlets is automatically cut. When the control device powers back on, energy to the switched outlets is restored. Two always-on outlets stay energized at all times, so a router, set-top box, or other devices needing constant power remain active.

Key benefits

• Automatic energy management reduces idle power draw from connected peripherals.
• Eliminates standby power on devices plugged into the switched outlets when the control device is off.
• Two always-on outlets ensure essential devices stay powered, even when others are shut down.
• Selectable switching thresholds (10W/22W/42W) let you tailor when power to the switched outlets is cut.
• LED indicators display Ground, Surge Status, and Switched Outlet activity for quick status checks.

Safety and performance

• Ceramic-encased MOVs provide premium surge protection and are listed to UL 1449 and UL 1363 standards.
• Built-in 40 dB noise filtering helps minimize electrical noise on the line.
• Rated for 120V and 60 Hz operation, suitable for most home and office environments.

Real-world scenarios

In a living room, connect a TV and audio/video components to the switched outlets, and power a cable box from an always-on outlet. In a home office, plug the router and printer into the always-on outlets, and attach your computer and peripherals to the switched outlets to manage idle power automatically. The control outlet acts as the smart hub for energy decisions, while the two always-on outlets keep critical gear ready when you flip the TV or PC back on.

Why choose the TS1104

The TS1104 blends practical energy savings with straightforward control. Its compact footprint fits neatly on a media stand or desk, and the clear LED indicators provide at-a-glance reassurance. Whether you’re optimizing an entertainment center, a small office, or a light commercial setup, this protector aims to reduce phantom power while preserving the devices you rely on daily.
