ECN Forum Forums Photo Discussion Forums Violation Photo Forum "Outlet Strips" Am I wrong here?

Joe-

Every office I work in has many of these "outlet strips". One or two under
every desk. When I tell the office managers that these strips are no
substitute for properly wired, permanently installed outlets, they nearly
throw me out of the place. The users cite the "UL" on the device and the
fact that it has a circuit breaker in it as an OK for using them. Am I wrong
here?

A few years ago I found over 75 of these, many of them daisy chained, in the
911 dispatch center for a fire department in a major city!
