Overview
The Amazon Basics 6-Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip (2-pack) is an affordable, no-frills solution for adding grounded outlets and basic surge protection to small spaces. Each strip offers six standard three-prong outlets and a 2-foot extension cord in a slim rectangular white housing, making it easy to tuck behind desks, entertainment centers, or bedside tables. With a 200-joule surge rating, these units are best suited for protecting chargers, lamps, routers, printers, and other low- to mid-power devices from minor power spikes. Buyers who want a tidy, inexpensive way to expand outlet capacity across multiple rooms—without USB ports, advanced filtering, or high-joule protection—will find value in this pack of two.
Key Features
- Six standard three-prong outlets per strip for multiple devices
- 200 joules of surge suppression per unit for protection against minor spikes
- 2-foot attached power cord — keeps the strip close to the outlet and reduces cord clutter
- Slim, rectangular white plastic housing designed to tuck behind desks and furniture
- Sold as a 2-pack so you can power two workstations, rooms, or zones

Frequently Asked Questions
A 200-joule rating offers basic protection against small, short-lived power spikes and is fine for chargers, lamps, routers, and similar devices. For expensive TVs, gaming PCs, or home theater equipment, choose a surge protector with a higher joule rating (500–2000J) and additional filtering.
