The PowerSquid Surge Protector is an intriguing next step in the evolution of the power strip. It offers instantly recognisable benefits, owing to its unique cephalopod design which incorporates flexible arms for the female outlets.

The arms accommodate transformer plugs without wasting any outlets, provide greater reach and flexibility, and should be easier to plug and unplug than traditional powerstrips.

Flexity’s PowerSquid Surge Protector features next-generation Ultra-MOVs (the component that actually absorbs the surges) with premium joule ratings, ranging from 1020 to 3280 joules, for maximum protection. All models also feature Purestream EMI/RFI noise filtering to reduce electromagnetic interference which can impair performance.

Coaxial cable and phone line protection are standard on all PC models (many damaging surges come through these connectivity lines), with gold-plated coaxial connectors and an integral linesplitter for phone-lines. The flagship Calamari model features two neon glowing female outlets, an audible alarm, and a 360-degree rotating flat-profile male plug.

Flexity is launching the product to specialty, catalogue and online retailers in January, for delivery later in the first quarter of 2006 at a starting MSRP of $49.99. To find out more about Flexity’s PowerSquid Surge Protector, visit www.powersquid.net.
