7 Extension Cords and Surge Protectors to Keep You Organized
So that you wont't have hide the pile of cables in the corner of your work space
A typical workstation requires multiple outlets. You need one for your laptop. One for your phone. One for your printer. One for a source of light. The list is endless, and there’s nothing more frustrating than not being able to use an outlet, because one of your devices is taking up the space and blocking what would otherwise be a free one. Here are a list of extension cords and surge protectors that will help you avoid this inherently frustrating problem. Some of them are practical, and some are aesthetic, but they all serve the same purpose of keeping you more organized.
