Disable smart idea individual outlets

There is not much to write actually a 5-way socket-outlet with a separate switch for each socket!

The cable length of 3m covers most applications a 230V socket with cable.
The five switches operate both poles of the respective socket, ie it can not therefore be the live line "online", while the Neutral has no connection. To switch only one phase, can only be taken under perilous bungling in a switchable power strip, where the wiring is not defined polarity protected.
The protective grounding remains available permanently.
The cable-proximate outlets are suitable for all types of 2- or 3-pole 230V connectors, which can be found in a normal household. The 45 ° arrangement also allows a space-saving cable concept. The cable remote connections are suitable for plug power supplies, which usually do not support the space-saving cable concept.
So it is up to the user to decide which side ultimately the cable is brought hither for power distribution and whether the switch left or right to be served by hand.

Of course it makes sense to switch off power-consuming standby equipment, so that they do not drive the power consumption unnecessarily high when the normal useful operation is not needed. Often end users are offered with plug power supplies or intermediary, separate voltage converter. These are usually not primarily (before the "transformer"), but secondary wired (behind the voltage adjustment) that is current on the input side is always in tension and may even consume energy when no konsumierendes device is connected.
But Beware! Not every network device accepts permanently the "remote-controlled" a current circuit, especially if the cut-off from the normal operation is carried out and not from the standby mode.
This incorrect operation can kill PCs and all devices that computerized perform their function as TV, video or DVD recorder.
The idea PCs with all peripheral equipment to de-energize, makes sense because of the silent standby consumption, but all devices must be in standby mode in order to ultimately avoid destroying the power supplies in the long term.
Although tubes are no longer monitors for modern PC workstation to be the hard switch-off without in standby mode, these old monitors can quickly bring a full end. The same is true for laser printers that have not yet switched to the sleep mode after work. The list of automatic standby units can be continued as desired.
Unfortunately there are also stand-enabled devices, the need to store any information, but case of power failure all current or user-related data lose a shame here was the need of the red-saving pin important to establish as a reasonable end-thought-end product.

The switching actions can be for example in stereo through clearly mutually acceptable clicking noises or TV video system unpleasantly noticeable by dropouts (image and / or sound) or other artifacts. Here the use of ferrites has to be discussed. When Conrad and search for "RRC16" as a folding ferrite is callable. The reviews help the function of the suppression choke to understand this, however, would go beyond the scope here.

The product of Brennenstuhl is very robust and high quality. It is intended exclusively for use inside the home and has a simple child protection (no direct contact between the current-carrying contacts from the outside possible).
Chargers may remain in the socket to use electricity without unreasonable if they are not required.
In a small electrical workshop switchable sockets are simply part.
The classic household knows for sure other applications where switchable sockets come in handy if you are clever, even energy and conserve finances.

Who automates its PC and its peripheral devices would de-energize, the variant with master-slave function should view, wherein the monitor is extremely likely not disconnected from the mains in standby mode.
