To start off, I was using an older 90s-2000s design and wanted something more up to date for my networking area since my hardware such as Fiber ONT and Cable Modem are both very sensitive to EMI. (I run two internet services since I work from home). While my old unit did filter noise and what not, I was confident it wasn't the best surge protector for modern equipment.
It's no secret that Rocketfish has been a legacy Best Buy house brand for years.. so I wasn't exactly worried that the product wouldn't be up to standards.
PROS:
-2160 Joltes rating.
-400V Live to Neutral Suppression + 47 dB EMI filtration.
-UL RATED (A must!)
-14 AWG THICK grounded cable.
-20W USB-C and 12 W full 5v 2.4A USB-A for fast charging without a extra plug.
CONS:
-Transient suppression is pretty average. (400V) 330V would be best.
- Outlet placement could be more spaced out. Right bottom corner outlet is only spaced plug.
-Plastic shell or industrial design could be improved. Not the best looking tap.
SUBJECTIVE THOUGHTS:
I wont sugar coat it.. It's a tap. Not very special, but a good thing to have in regards to protection for sensitive equipment.
I subjectively think this unit helps my other sensitive electronics feel better such as laptop when moving around mouse motion on laptop or desktop PC. This could be placebo, but my networking area also seems more stable for wireless throughput across my home. A very nice potential benefit to switching out the older unit.
-Has two LED indicators for ground and protection. Dim blue.. not overbearing like other designs.
-I really don't like the plastic body. Seems cheap, but the electronic design inside likely makes up for a bulk of the cost.
OVERALL:
I think this is a very good tap and I would Glady grab another given the positive feedback with my network stack area.
The Only thing I dislike is the plastic body mold.. Could be better.
4.5/5. Giving it the full 5 stars.

The Rocketfish surge protector strip is a welcome addition to my home for multiple uses. This is a much needed power strip for my various electronics and peace of mind. There are plenty of outlets and connections available.
This surge protector has 7 outlets for all your electronic gadgets. Six of the AC outlets are standard spaced, and the one at the very end is wide spaced to allow for a larger plug. The nice addition to this surge protector is the 1 USB-A and 1 USB-C port which help to keep my devices powered up. So it's almost like having 2 extra plugs for available power sources. This will absorb power surges up to 2160 Joules, which should help to keep all my pricey tech gear safe if there ever is a power surge at home or at the office. Another nice bonus of this is the 47dB EMI/RFI noise filter to help protect against any electromagnetic interference. The angled plug is well thought out as it allows for a low profile design and fits better into hard to reach wall outlets. The strip is also wall mountable with a keyhole in the back to allow a fitment that suits your situation best. All of this extra protection gives me peace of mind that I can trust my thousands of dollars in tech equipment to not be damaged. There is even a $200K connected equipment guarantee from Rocketfish if anything should happen. The cord length is about 6 feet and easily reaches from the floor to the wall outlet with its flexibility.
Overall a great looking surge protector strip by Rocketfish. Multiple devices can all be plugged into one power strip. Perfect for a home office setup or AV setup. I'm trying it around my house to figure out where I can get maximum protection and peace of mind. Well worth the investment to purchase this and protect your gear.

Many people make the mistake of using a power strip instead of a surge protector for their valuable electrical components. And they generally realize their mistake too late and find that saving a small amount ends up costing a large amount when they have a device fail due to a power surge. Power strips have come a long way, and the price point for the Rocketfish™ - 7-Outlet/1-USB/1-USB-C 2160 Joules Surge Protector Strip you won’t find better features. As an added bonus, it has a $200,000 connected component guarantee and a limited lifetime warranty. Additionally, it has a 47 dB EMI/RFI noise filter to minimize electrical interference that can affect equipment performance. It looks sleek and professional, and it has a keyhole mount on the back so you can hide it out of the way if needed. This protector may protect against electrical surges caused by lightening strikes on the power grid, surges that occur if your power supply isn’t stable, and the surge that can occur when your power goes out and comes back on without you turning off your electrical components. The strip has 6 regularly spaced outlets and 1 offset for a larger power block. The power cord is 6’ long so it can reach most outlets, and the plug is offset and space saving for a low profile. The side mounted on/off switch helps avoid accidental switching, and there are 2 indicator lights to show when the unit has power, and the power line is grounded. In the event of a power surge the device cuts off power to all outlets. Finally it includes a USB-A and USB-C power power outlets to charge mobile devices with a combined output up to 32 watts.

Needed a new surge protector as my current one in the kitchen seemed to sometimes shut off automatically without reason. Could be because the air fryer is running too hot or so.
This new one by Rocketfish has helped me deal with that issue thankfully. Off the top, this surge protector is UL rated - this is an important factor for surge protectors since you want to feel safe with a surge protector. UL rated means that the Underwriters Laboratories have deemed the product has met specific safety standards.
Other nice features is the 2160 joules protection, a six feet cord, and a USB outlets. The USB C and USB A outlets should be capable of fast charging your devices. Having an LED lit "Grounded" and "Protected" is a nice extra as opposed to your basic LED with the words printed beside it, some of those LEDs on surge protectors can be annoyingly bright but not this one.
I do like how spaced out the outlet is at the end of surge protector compared to the other six, this is ideal for those huge power bricks that take up a lot of space without having it protrude off of the surge protector.
I don't have too many complaints other than a nitpick of the awkward angled electrical plug. I would have preferred it if were just vertical or even better if you could rotate the plug's head.
All in all, I would recommend this surge protector to anyone.

Wanted a new surge protector power strip to replace another one in an outlet right beside my bed. I don't know why, but apparently the manufacturers of these products have all decided to add lights to a device that doesn't really need it and the one I had was actually putting out a fair amount of light pollution to the room when it was otherwise dark. Not something I want right by my pillowside when I'm trying to sleep. I thought this Rocketfish strip would be better and in that regard it is. The "protected/grounded" status plates light up, but it's a faint blue light and not that bad. Does it need to be there at all? Well, in my opnion no, but I guess Rocketfish disagrees. The good news here is that the cord is substantially long, so even if you need this outlet near your bed chances are good you might be able to position it such that the end putting off the light is behind a piece of furniture or something to help further dampen it. It's got a lot of flexibility in that way, which is nice. Build design overall is sturdy and I like the look of it all. Very sleek.
The main problem is... the outlets on the power strip are stacked so closely to one another that it is all but inevitable you will NEVER be able to use all 7 outlets at once unless you are using it to only power devices that have the most basic plugs ever made. Any charging brick of nearly any size is going to be big enough to cover the outlet beside it partially, unless you're using the lone one that's deliberately spaced apart a bit from the rest.
I'm truthfully a little flabbergasted. Sure, I should have looked more closely at this beforehand but honestly it didn't even cross my mind. Look at the picture I attached and you'll see what I mean. Instead of being able to plug in 7 things, in reality you'll be lucky if you can get four.
Not a huge deal if you know what you're getting into and you have the kind of devices that will work well with this layout. Otherwise, I'd personally look elsewhere.

The Rocketfish 7-outlet power strip does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It provides plenty of outlets for my setup and feels sturdy and well built. Everything plugs in securely, and it’s been completely reliable with no issues.
It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense power strip that works great for home or office use. If you need dependable extra outlets without complications, this is a solid choice.

This power strip is perfect! It has both usb and usb c outlets as well as the normal ones you'd expect. I love that it has on on/off switch so that this isn't drawing power all the time. Very portable and packs well for travel. It's the first thing that I pack in my weekend bag when visiting friends and family, to make sure all my devices are kept charged.
