Compared to APC, this strip can be switched on / off with your foot. And unlike some cheap strips, the switch is open and gives an impression of quality, there are no sparks or poor contact.
The switch is dark green with a backlit logo in red when it is on. Discreet enough not to interfere in the dark.
The 6 outlets are oriented at 45 ° and are the model "Schuko" (earth ground on the sides, check that your cards are compatible, but it should be the case). As Schuko are symmetrical, the plugs can be connected in either direction.
The plug at the end of the cable is when her hybrid type Schuko / French (E / F) and is therefore compatible with the sockets of both types.
As for durability, I have not enough experience to judge. I cons by a power strip Brennenstuhl Premium which at least twenty years and still works perfectly.
The model sold on Amazon.com is the same as that sold on amazon.de (types of plugs included), I advise to buy it on amazon.de where it is cheaper.
The surge suppressor must be purchased when to him on Amazon.com for French plugs.
