Celebrating Earth Day with the Launch of the Eco-Logical™ Smart Strip® Surge Protector
Announceing the Eco-Logical™ Smart Strip®, a surge protector that not only protects electronics from damaging power surges, but will lower electric bills, too. When devices, such as computers, are plugged into the Control Outlet and then go into “sleep” mode, the Smart Strip automatically cuts power to peripherals such as monitors, printers and speakers. The Smart Strip will quickly pay for itself in energy savings and then continue to save electricity and money.
All electronics draw power even when they are in a sleep mode or turned off. A printer can use up to 30 watts in sleep mode, which can add up to about $27.00 a year in energy costs. Other computer peripherals and home entertainment equipment can draw over 50 watts while standing idle. The energy being consumed by all of these ‘sleeping’ electronics can really be significant.
“Saving energy is one of the best ways to reduce our impact on the environment,” said Kurt Markshausen, Coleman Cable vice president of retail sales. “The Smart Strip does all the work for you, and that’s why we say ‘Being green just got easy’.”
The Smart Strip is a high-performance surge protector available in either seven or ten outlet models and comes with two or three ‘Always-On’ outlets for use with equipment that should not be turned off such as fax machines, cordless phones or cable and satellite receivers. It is great for both computer and entertainment equipment.
