Long wall run

Alestor 15 ft surge protector power strip (1)

15 ft cord black only $34.99

Fifteen feet along a wall of furniture

Fifteen feet suits a long wall where the only outlet sits at one end: a run of bookshelves with lamps on top, an entertainment wall with the TV in the middle, a home office desk that stretches along the window. The cord follows the baseboard behind the furniture and the strip lands under the middle of it.

The 15 ft length comes in black only. Before you buy it for a room that already has an outlet halfway along the wall, measure from that one: a shorter cord on a closer outlet leaves less spare length to tuck away. Wherever the cord goes, keep it out of doorways and do not staple or nail it to the baseboard, which can cut the insulation.

About the Alestor 15 ft strip

Does your 15 ft Alestor strip come in white?

Not at the moment. The 15 ft length comes in black. If you need white or gray with a long cord, white comes in 20 feet and gray stops at 10 feet.

How do you hide the extra cord on a 15 ft Alestor strip?

Run it along the baseboard behind the furniture and gather the spare in a loose loop with the hook-and-loop tie that comes on the cord. CPSC warns that cords tightly wrapped around an object trap heat, so keep the loop loose and never staple the cord down.
