Sure-Grip Locking Electronic Equipment Power Cords

IEC C13 Socket

NEMA 5-15 Plug

Create a secure, vibration-resistant connection on both ends—these cords have a hospital-grade plug and a locking connector on the socket. The plug has an extra-tight connection to stay plugged into your electrical outlet. A lock on the socket flips over the male receptacle on your equipment. The lock will keep the connection in place until it is manually unlocked. Designated SJT, these cords are safe to use in dry or damp locations. Use with computers, lab equipment, and other machines with IEC connections. The plug is marked with a green dot, indicating it is hospital-grade.

Sure-Grip Outlet Strips

Also known as hospital-grade outlet strips, these outlets have an extra-tight fit to prevent plugs from detaching. They are marked with a green dot. A circuit breaker prevents damage from current overload and short circuits.

Surge suppression outlet strips protect against damage from voltage spikes. The surge rating indicates how much energy the outlet strip can absorb before it needs to be replaced.

Outlet covers protect outlets from dust when not in use.

Fasten mounting clips to a surface and snap the channel on the back of outlet strips into the clips.

Outlets strips with coiled cord can stretch to reach a power source, then return to a tight coil for tangle-free storage.

Outlet Strips

Provide power to multiple devices with these outlet strips. A circuit breaker prevents damage from current overload and short circuits.

Use outlet strips with USB ports to charge mobile devices. Telephone connections connect to a land line. Coaxial connections connect to F-type coaxial cords for video.

90° elbow plugs fit flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.

Outlet strips with 90° and 360° outlet orientation accommodate large plugs. The face of 360° outlets rotate a full circle.

Surge suppression outlet strips protect against damage from voltage spikes. Surge rating indicates how much energy the outlet strip can absorb before it needs to be replaced; the higher the number, the better the protection.

Outlet strips with an audible alarm alert you when the strip is damaged and needs replacement.

Outlet Strips with Master Outlet

Save energy by automatically turning off unused outlets—the master outlet controls the follower outlets and shuts off power to those outlets when a device plugged into the master is turned off. For example, plug a main device, such as a computer, into the master outlet; plug accessory devices, such as a monitor and printer, into the follower outlets. Turn the main device on and off to control power to the accessory devices. They also have independent outlets that are always on. Sliding outlet covers protect outlets from dust when not in use. Surge suppression protects devices from voltage spikes. The surge rating indicates how much energy the outlet strip can absorb before it needs to be replaced. Telephone connections connect to a land line. Coaxial connections connect to F-type coaxial cords for video. A circuit breaker prevents damage from current overload and short circuits.

Sure-Grip Automatic-Wind Cord Reels

NEMA 5-15 Plug

NEMA 5-15 Socket

The plug and outlets on these reels form an extra-tight connection with any device to keep it from detaching. They’re marked with a green dot to confirm that they’re hospital grade. Extend the cord to any length, and a ratchet on the reel will hold it in place. A quick tug on the cord automatically retracts and winds it neatly.

These cord reels have a circuit breaker that trips if there’s too much current, preventing damage to the devices you’re powering. The housing is impact-resistant plastic that won’t dent easily or corrode from humidity. The SJTOW extension cord has insulation that resists oil and water.
