6 Outlet: WattStopper Energy Saving Power Board for Computer Equipment

How often do you turn off your PC or laptop computer, but leave your modem, printer, scanner, monitor, speakers, and fax turned on to consume 'standby' power and add to your electricity bill?

Enter the USB Controlled Power Board which automatically switches off all peripherals connected to PC or laptop computer home when you turn off your PC or laptop thereby eliminating wasteful 'standby' power and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

It also provides 24 hour protection for connected equipment against power surges and spikes.

Step 5: Connect items such as a monitor, printer, scanner, modem or lamp into the 5 outlets marked 'switched' on the power board. All items connected to the 'switched outlets'
will be turned on and off when you turn on and off your PC or laptop

Step 6: If a piece of equipment is required to be on standby plug it into the outlet marked 'constant power' - maybe used for a fax machine or modem
