Managing electrical connections at home or in the office can quickly become a nightmare. Between tangled cables, devices drawing phantom power on standby, and a chronic lack of outlets, finding a solution that is both practical and safe is essential. An individually switched power strip is the indispensable accessory for regaining control of your setup, optimising your energy consumption, and protecting your valuable equipment.
This guide is here to help you make sense of it all, with clear selection criteria and a curated list of products for every need, whether it's for your desk, multimedia setup, or even your workshop.
Before diving into our selection, let's review the criteria that will make all the difference in your daily use.
Safety is the number one criterion. A good power strip must, above all, power your devices without any risk. Ensure it includes these essential protections:
How many outlets do you really need? A 6-outlet power strip is often the sweet spot for a desk or a TV area. Also, consider the spacing and orientation of the outlets. Outlets angled at 45° or 90° allow you to plug in bulky adapters without blocking adjacent ports.
The cable length is just as important. A 5m extension cord power strip offers great flexibility to reach a distant wall socket, while a 2 or 3-meter cable may be sufficient for a more compact setup.
This is the star feature of our selection: individual switches. They allow you to cut power to a specific device with a single press, without having to unplug it. This is ideal for hunting down the hidden energy consumption of devices on standby.
Other options can also be useful:
Here are a few options that meet a variety of needs, with a focus on safety and practicality.
Why It Stands Out
Its main advantage? A 5-meter cable that offers exceptional installation freedom. Perfect for large rooms or when the wall outlet is hard to reach. Each outlet has its own switch, all topped off with a master switch for total control.
Key Features
Who is it for? Ideal for those who need to connect equipment far from a power source, whether in a large living room for a home cinema setup or in a spacious office.
Why It Stands Out
This is a bit outside the box for a classic power strip, but this cable reel is a first-rate solution for very specific needs. Designed for the workshop or garage, it focuses entirely on robustness and safety, handling high loads (up to 3000 W). Its main switch is actually a thermal circuit breaker that trips in case of an overload to protect the entire setup.
Key Features
Who is it for? Indispensable for DIY enthusiasts, workshops, or even indoor events—anywhere a long cable and high power capacity are required.
Why It Stands Out
This is the perfect balance for everyday use. With its 3-meter cable, it's long enough for most desks and living rooms without leaving unnecessary cable length lying around. It packs all the safety features and benefits of its 5-meter sibling, making it a choice that is as versatile as it is reliable.
Key Features
Who is it for? This is the ultimate all-rounder for outfitting a workstation, a gaming setup, or a TV stand, combining energy savings with top-notch organisation.
Our selection focuses on versatile models, but your needs might be more specific: more outlets, a custom cable length, USB ports, a particular design... To discover a much wider range of solutions, feel free to explore our complete catalogue.

The primary benefit is energy savings. Did you know that many devices consume electricity even when on standby? Individual switches allow you to cut their power supply completely with a single press, without having to unplug everything. Not only is this more convenient, but it also helps preserve the lifespan of your chargers and power supplies.
In common parlance, a surge protector power strip integrates a component, often a varistor, that acts as a shield. Its role is to absorb sudden voltage spikes on the electrical grid (caused by a thunderstorm or an incident on the line). This shield protects the very fragile electronic circuits in your devices from what would otherwise be irreversible damage.
Quality power strips are almost all equipped with overload protection. If the total power of the devices you plug in exceeds the power strip's maximum capacity (usually 3680 W), a built-in circuit breaker will trip and cut the power. On some models, an indicator light will turn on or a small reset button will pop out. To avoid this, a simple rule of thumb: check the power in watts (W) of each device (it's written on the label) and ensure the sum does not exceed the limit of your power strip.
