Anyone know a good shop for power strips?

[alkemyst]

I am looking for something with decent spacing between each plug, a standard wall-mountable rectangular bar of a single row of plugs from about 6-8 grounded sockets, and with a cord 6' or less.

Home Depot and Lowes have the regular power strips but the cords are 15'...the other stores have two row or with all the outlets close together...the ones with transformer sockets have long cords.

I need one about 36-40" max and the other can be up to 6' long. I'd like it with surge protection but that is not a top priority.

Thanks

Six outlets, 2ft cord or Six outlets, 4ft cord

Both can be bought at Mouser or similar locations. Sadly neither have decent spacing. Do you have anything against cutting the cord yourself?

APC has nicely spaced ones, but they are 6 ft or longer.

saw tripplites site, actually have both those and a few other models here.

Cutting cords=fail fire inspection.

Cutting cords=fail fire inspection.

This is for a business I assume then? Those fire inspectors will fail you for anything.

If it were for my home, opening up a power strip, cutting the wires, and soldering them back on would be perfectly safe and a ~5 minute job. But, fire inspectors don't care if you do a better/safer job in your soldering than the OEM or not.

It's for a home based business. I don't get fire inspected directly, but if I have a hazard claim it would be rejected for fire should one break out.

Don't know if you it meets all of your requirements, but Power Squid should have ample space between connectors: http://www.powersquid.com/powersquid-c-66.html

It needs to mount under a desk area which is what is going to require it being a single row of sockets. I like the power squid and similar products. I actually may end up having to get one of the above recommendations and those mini-extension cords for a couple sockets.
