90 Degree Rotating Outlets Help Conserve Space

90 Degree Rotating Outlets Help Conserve Space

Author JoeDigital

Traditional power strips are not the most ideal way to conserve space and keep things orderly. This Swivel Socket design tries to overcome that problem with six outlets that can rotate 90 degrees. Obviously, that angle would be enough to get the cords out of the way so that you can move furniture and other objects more flush with the wall. It also includes surge protection with indicator lights. Not a bad deal for only $20.

Oddly, the device itself is new, but the idea of a swivel socket is decades old. Strange though it may be to say, it has taken a lot longer for technology to catch up with the idea. On the consumer side, the first and most obvious benefit, after accessibility, is reduced fire-hazard due to a plug which is pulled partially free f the socket it was inserted into.
