The chord is long enough so get desk doesn't have to be right up against the wall outlet.

The angled top makes it very space efficient. The triangular shape allows for different sized plugs to fit. Its narrow footprint and unique shape makes it easy to mount in tight locations.

The long cord allows you to tack the cord along the wall to hide wiring. The length is very nice as it allowed me to have the strip tucked under my monitors for easy access yet reach my ups without issue.

The design allows you to plug and unplug up to 7 outlets quickly and easily. I use it for a couple of monitors and a laptop which has low enough draw to be safe with the light duty cord.

My space heater and coffee machine keep shutting it off. The cord is shown as a rolled (to be extended as needed) and what i received is a long flat cord.
