The flow of electricity into your building is not constant – it has many highs and lows throughout the day, every day. If the power spikes, unprotected electronics can experience arcs of electricity internally, outside of their intended path. Power surges can ruin your electronics. You run computers, printers, fax machines, chargers, electric staplers, and so on – and you definitely don’t have enough outlets. If you plug multiple devices into a single outlet, you run the risk of overloading the circuit and causing an outage or even a fire.

Here’s another problem: some of your devices have to be placed farther from outlets than their cords can reach. How many grounded extension cords can you possibly put into one outlet? You may be familiar with the solution: surge protectors.

You can buy multiple discount surge protectors at a time, at a savings, when you order your regular discount office supplies. Put one in every cubicle, and you’ll be able to plug in the person’s computer, monitor, phone charger and other devices easily. Plug your photocopier, fax machine, binder, hole puncher and so on into one surge protector. Most surge protectors come with a 6-foot cord, but you can buy them with 15-foot cords. You can get discount surge protectors that have six, eight or twelve outlets – some even come with the outlets unevenly spaced to accommodate odd-shaped plugs.

For everyone’s safety and your peace of mind, order surge protectors with your next batch of discount office supplies.
