The best way to save energy is to stop wasting it!™
Standby power, also commonly referred to as vampire power or 
phantom load, is energy consumed by electronics while they are 
switched off or in standby mode. The TrickleStar 12-outlet Advanced 
PowerStrip (APS) provides premium-quality, fireproof surge 
protection and helps eliminate standby power waste from PC and TV 
peripheral electronics. The APS features current-sensing circuitry to 
sense whether the control device (typically a TV or PC) is either on, 
off, or in a standby state. Through simple automation, the Advanced 
PowerStrip reduces wasteful standby power by automatically 
powering on or off peripheral electronics (such as the DVD player or 
printer) when the primary control device (such as a TV or PC) turns on, 
off, or enters a standby state. The APS is easy to install and suitable 
for both residential and commercial applications.

12-OUTLET ADVANCED POWERSTRIP
OVERVIEW
FIREPROOF SURGE PROTECTION
KEY FEATURES
Traditional surge suppression products use standard Metal Oxide 
Varistor (MOV) components. TrickleStar’s APS products incorporate 
advanced surge protection technology with ceramic-encased MOVs 
capable of suppressing more energy and dissipating heat faster than 
traditional MOVs.
Ceramic-encased MOVs have better thermal properties and have a 
lifespan up to three times longer than standard MOVs. The ceramic 
casing is fireproof and therefore capable of preventing fire during 
abnormal surge conditions.
Provides premium-quality surge protection that reduces standby energy wasted by PC and TV peripheral electronics
