I wouldn't because that would be a fire hazard.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The doubling up (often referred to as "daisy chain") of any surge protector/extension cord combination is not a safe way to gain additional power accessibility.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Physically you could, and I wouldn't think there would be a huge issue, but it isn't something I would recommend. For one, it's easy to overload a breaker that way, and for two, I'd think it would damage the surge protector's ability to protect against surges if you did happen to overload it too frequently. If you were simply looking for more outlets, I'd recommend finding the larger surge protector (I believe it has 8 outlets plus an additional 2 or 4 USB ports).
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can plug a power strip in to it, but as with any circuit it's current draw that is important. Too many items and you may trip your circuit breaker or if your power strip doesn't have built in protection you may have a melt down. Add up the total amperage of all your devices and make sure it is only 80% of what the circuit breaker powering the outlets is. If you can only find wattage, then total the watts and divide by 120 to find amperage.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, this surge protector is designed to only handle the load of having 6 devices connected, it will not properly work or protect with more devices connected.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Matt, while yes you technically can do that (and honestly I do), I'm sure for safety reasons it is not recommended. However I don't suggest doing this for high power devices such as microwaves, etc. I hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can put several, but keep in mind, the breaker on that circuit will only handle so many amps. Add up the amps of everything your plugging in and don't exceed what the breaker can take. So I guess you could as long as everything your connecting isn't all running at the same time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I suggest googling: "Can I plug a power strip into another power strip"
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.you have 6 outlets to use as you need. adding a strip will work.
