Southwire 5148 8 Outlet Metal Power Strip 2.4A Usb 6 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 5148 is an 8-outlet metal power strip designed for demanding trade and job-site environments where a reliable, multi-device power distribution solution is required. The unit features a lighted on/off switch for quick visual confirmation of power status and includes integrated USB charging output rated at 2.4 amps, allowing technicians to charge devices without consuming a standard outlet. The heavy-gauge metal housing resists impact and provides durability beyond standard plastic-bodied strips. A 6-foot cord delivers adequate reach from panel or wall receptacle to the work area.

This power strip suits commercial service vehicles, electrical shops, HVAC service bays, and job-site trailers where multiple tools, test equipment, or diagnostic devices need simultaneous power. The 8-outlet configuration accommodates a mix of standard plugs without adapter stacking. The lighted switch makes it easy to confirm power state in low-light conditions common on job sites and in mechanical rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a licensed electrician or qualified trade professional when integrating into permanent shop or service panel circuits.
