power strip


Explanation:
In the USA at least this is the standard name. See the models illustrated in the referenced web pages.

Example sentence(s):
  • For the purposes of this document, a power strip is defined as a multi-outlet adapter with a flexible cord-and-plug attachment and an over-current device (breaker). Some power strips also have a master on/off switch and some have a surge suppressor.
  • A power strip is typically a device that provides 6 or more plugs from one cable with little to no protection at all.
