Power Strip Elgotech RO-40 — 4-socket plug-in surge protector with grounding (RO-40)

Elgotech RO-40 is a compact 4-socket plug-in power strip with grounding intended to expand a single mains outlet into four grounded AC sockets. The device is designed for basic power distribution in homes and offices, allowing simultaneous connection of lamps, phone chargers, small kitchen appliances and other low- to moderate-power electronics. The simple construction focuses on space-saving convenience and safe earthing without specialized surge suppression specifications.

Its plug-in design keeps the unit compact and easy to reposition, while the grounded contacts add protection against electrical faults in connected devices.

• Connecting lamps and lighting fixtures
• Powering phone and tablet chargers
• Supplying low- to moderate-power home appliances (e.g., radios, small fans)
• Expanding outlets for office equipment such as monitors and printers

Key specifications

• Number of sockets: 4 grounded AC outlets
• Form factor: plug-in power strip (direct plug into wall socket)
• Grounding: protective earth contact present on all outlets

• Physical design: compact, space-saving housing suitable for placement behind or beside furniture

How to use

Insert the Elgotech RO-40 directly into a standard mains wall socket ensuring the plug is fully seated. Connect electrical devices to the four grounded outlets, observing the rated current and power limits of your home wiring and the connected appliances. Avoid overloading the unit by summing the power draw of all connected devices and ensuring it stays within safe limits for the wall circuit. Position the unit so that the plug and sockets remain accessible and not subject to strain or obstruction.

Usage recommendations

Use the power strip indoors only and avoid exposing it to moisture, direct heat sources or heavy dust. Do not use with high-power appliances such as ovens, large heaters or air conditioners. Regularly inspect the housing and plug for damage; discontinue use if cracks, discoloration or loose pins appear. For devices requiring surge protection or power filtering, choose a purpose-built protector rather than a basic plug-in strip.
