Description
The iPlus PU-3445 represents a significant upgrade in domestic power safety, combining robust Taiwanese manufacturing with intelligent design features. This 1.8-meter (6-foot) power strip is engineered to handle a maximum load of 1650W at 15A, making it suitable for high-drain appliances and workstation setups. Its core strength lies in its multi-layered protection system, including a built-in circuit breaker that automatically cuts power during overloads and a 6000V surge absorber that shields connected devices from voltage spikes and lightning strikes. The use of 4N-grade oxygen-free copper wiring ensures high conductivity and minimal heat buildup, while the entire chassis is constructed from high-heat resistant, fire-retardant polycarbonate.
This product is for:
- Home Office Professionals: Ideal for managing computers, monitors, and printers with individual power control to reduce standby energy consumption.
- Home Theater Enthusiasts: Provides essential surge protection for expensive AV receivers, gaming consoles, and smart TVs.
- Kitchen Appliance Users: Safely handles high-wattage devices like air fryers or coffee makers thanks to the 15A rated capacity.
- Dormitory Students: Maximizes limited wall outlets while offering a flat-plug design that fits easily behind desks and beds.
- Safety-Conscious Homeowners: Perfect for those prioritizing fire safety with its V0-grade flame-retardant materials and recessed switch design.

User experience is prioritized through several ergonomic design choices. The ultra-thin flat plug allows furniture to be pushed flush against the wall, preventing cord strain and optimizing room layout. Each of the four outlets features an independent switch with a recessed design, which prevents accidental power-offs if the strip is bumped. Furthermore, one outlet is specifically spaced to accommodate bulky power transformers without blocking adjacent sockets. The integrated wall-mount holes on the back provide flexibility for under-desk or vertical mounting, keeping cables organized and off the floor.
Compared to standard single-switch power strips, the iPlus PU-3445 offers superior energy management by allowing users to cut power to specific devices without affecting others. While basic power strips often lack surge protection, this model includes a 125-joule surge absorber capable of handling up to 6KV, providing a critical buffer against electrical noise and spikes. Its build quality, featuring 4N oxygen-free copper, offers lower resistance and better thermal performance than the generic copper alloys found in budget alternatives, ensuring a longer product lifespan and enhanced safety.
Q&A:
- What is the maximum power load for this power strip? The iPlus PU-3445 supports a maximum combined load of 1650 Watts (15A/125V). Exceeding this limit will trigger the automatic circuit breaker.
- Does this model protect against lightning strikes? Yes, it features a surge absorber with a maximum capacity of 6000V (6KV) to protect electronics from atmospheric electrical surges.
- Can I use large power adapters with this strip? Yes, it includes one dedicated transformer-spaced outlet designed to fit large power bricks without obstructing the other three outlets.
- Is the material fireproof? The entire body is made from high-grade, heat-resistant Polycarbonate (PC) that meets fire-retardant safety standards to prevent combustion.
- What should I do if the power cuts off automatically? This is likely the overload protection engaging. Unplug high-wattage devices to reduce the load, then reset the built-in circuit breaker switch.
