this wall tap has no wires. the problem with wires is that they take up a lot of space when moving around and can become greasy and filthy. this wall tap is amazing on the other hand. take it on trips to protect your expensive equipment

The Rocketfish surge protector is one of those “set it and forget it” devices until the moment you need it. Despite its compact size, about 4 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 1.5 inches thick, it delivers 1500 joules of protection. In my opinion one of its best selling points is the $50,000 connected equipment warranty, which adds a lot of value considering the price. The unit itself is very small and provides two outlets. Thanks to its slim profile, it won’t block the second socket in a standard wall outlet, and I was still able to use my outlet USB ports without issue. When active, the word Protector lights up in blue. The light is subtle, but it could be distracting in a dark room, so it’s best placed behind furniture rather than in open view. Since I own more power surge protectors, I decided to move this one to connect my smart fridge, so the glow isn’t a problem. Overall, this little surge protector is a solid, inexpensive investment to safeguard high-value electronics, especially with the $50,000 coverage backing it. Its compact design makes it easy to plug into almost any outlet, and if used on a double outlet, it even adds an extra socket for a total of three connections, two protected and one regular. In the box, you get the surge protector outlet itself.

Perfect for when you are traveling and want to make sure the few devices you might plug up are protected from power surges and spikes. Never know the quality of some of these places you might stay at and a lot of times the only available outlet is the one on the lamp. Now, you can turn that outlet into two and be protected with up to $50,000 worth of protection coverage from Rocketfish. Not only are you protected from power surges and spikes, but this also helps reduce any EMI or RFI on the lines that could interfere with your equipment as well. It’s small enough to throw in a laptop bag and the angles on the side make it easy enough to even plug in large power bricks. It has an LED on the front that is lit while you are protected for that little bit of added comfort. This is essentially the same as their larger surge protectors, with the same level of protection, just pocket sized. It doesn’t have an on/off switch like the bigger ones, but how often do you really use that? Overall, for its size, this is something that I will always take with m when I travel, just for that added comfort and security. You never know what someone else might be doing in the next room over that could drop out your pricey laptop and cell phone.

The Rocketfish 2-Outlet Wall Tap with surge protection is a good option for connecting a pair of electronic devices where space is at a premium and with the addition of protection from power surge. Unlike traditional power strips, it plugs directly into an electrical socket and, if you don’t have much space, its size is perfect measuring a little over 4 inches and 1.5 inches deep when inserted into a wall socket. In terms of specifications, this compact wall tap has a load rating of 15 amps and 1,500 joules of energy dissipation which are the standard ratings for surge protectors. However, its 82,000 max peak current far exceeds the standard. Using the Rocketfish 2-outlet wall tap is simple. I connected mine in my daughter’s bedroom behind a dresser and plugged in a TV and a soundbar. I really like the fact that it stays flush against the wall which saves so much space. On its small front surface, right on top of the Rocketfish logo, a ‘Protected’ blue indicator lights up to remind you that your devices are protected from electrical surges. It seemed to be performing well. The connected TV and soundbar are used for hours at a time daily and, out of curiosity, I checked for heat and there was practically none beyond normal heating. The two outlets on each side are slanted outward, most likely to accommodate bulkier adapters which is a clever idea. In conclusion, the Rocketfish 2-Outlet Wall Tap is a simple and effective solution for tight spaces or if you only need a couple of connections. It offers all the protection of a standard power surge and more. Rocketfish even provides some kind of guarantee, up to $50,000, for properly connected devices that are damaged by a power surge. I don’t have to think twice that my connected devices are safe and it’s a worry off my mind. Two thumbs up.

This is my first surge protection device from Rocketfish. I like how small and compact this unit is since there is no cord and it adds an additional outlet, so I can protect two devices at once. The 3-prong grounded outlets are on the sides of the surge protector and angled slightly inward for easier access to insert and remove plugs if installed behind furniture. Note that the plug orientation is rotated 90 degrees relative to the outlet the device is plugged into, with the protected outlets’ ground pins positioned towards the front face of the device. This change in orientation may not be suitable for bulky power bricks or angled cables, if you have tight clearance; although, I had no issues with the devices I plugged into it. The bright blue ‘protected’ LED indicator light at the front, when illuminated, lets me know that the device is working properly and will protect my electronics in the event of a power surge. The device is rated to 1500 Joules energy dissipation with a total load of 15 Amps and 40dB noise filtering to remove high-frequency signals like Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio-Frequency Interference (RFI) from your power line. I now have my home theater projector and sound system plugged into it to guard them against damage during a power surge. Although there is no way to actually test its performance without causing a surge which would destroy the components inside that make the unit function, I have peace of mind knowing that there is a $50,00 equipment protection guarantee with this product. Once the protective components inside are consumed during one large or cumulative small surges, the protected LED will go out, and you'll know that the unit should be replaced as it would no longer be supplying protection to your devices.
