Bachmann Power Strips – More Outlets & Convenience

Power Strips: More than just a power strip

In almost every room – whether at home, in the office, in the workshop, or in a shop – a single power strip is often insufficient. Laptops, monitors, printers, lamps, charging cables – a multitude of devices quickly accumulate. This is where power strips come into play. They combine multiple connections in a compact housing and enable a tidy, safe power supply.

But not all power strips are the same: Bachmann has developed a wide range of high-quality power strips that go far beyond the "standard model." Whether with twisted plug inserts, special angles, USB ports, or special geometries – these strips are optimized for different applications and offer additional benefits in terms of safety, ergonomics, and design.

Below you will find typical series and variants, as well as what you should pay attention to when using them.

Why a good power strip is important

Simply offering more outlets is no longer enough. Modern requirements demand:

• Space-saving and well-thought-out design (e.g., rotatable outlets)
• Safety features such as touch protection, increased insulation, or surge protection
• Ergonomics & convenience – e.g., offset outlets so that large power plugs fit side by side
• Additional functions such as USB charging stations, angled inserts, or mounting options

Bachmann has paid close attention to these details in many models, ensuring that the strips are not only functional but also user-friendly.

Examples from the Bachmann portfolio

Here are some series/model variants that demonstrate how versatile Bachmann power strips can be:

Recessed sockets, built-in sockets, and power strips are available as 4-way, 6-way, or 8-way multiple sockets, for example.

This variety demonstrates that Bachmann not only covers simple requirements, but also ensures that special application scenarios (such as inserts rotated by 35°, low installation height, or rack applications) remain feasible.

Advantages & Features of Modern Bachmann Power Strips

• Order & Clarity: Instead of many individual sockets, a power strip ensures significantly more organized cable management.
• Flexibility: With options such as twisted inserts or angled plugs, even large power supplies can be accommodated efficiently.
• Safety & Protection: Models like SMART offer touch protection, stable housings, and solid construction.
• Mounting Solutions: Many strips have mounting options (e.g., through screw holes) so they can be securely attached to furniture or walls.
• Expandability: With modular series, additional lengths or modules can be added (e.g., with Connect Line / Universal).
• Space optimization: Low installation heights, special geometries, and intelligent layouts help connect multiple devices even in tight spaces (see STEP BASE with rotated center insert).

Tips for selection and use

• Plan slots and power requirements - Determine how many and which devices you want to connect – including reserves for future expansion.
• Consider the housing design and height - Pay attention to the maximum height (especially for furniture or substructures) and consider whether inserts rotated 35° would be helpful.
• Check safety features - Touch protection, robust construction, and tested safety (e.g., VDE, CE) are crucial – especially for public or commercial installations.
• Installation and fastening - Use existing fastening solutions (drilled holes, mounting clips) to ensure that strips are securely fixed and do not slip.
• Cable management and strain relief - Ensure that the supply cable is sufficiently dimensioned and that strain relief is provided to prevent strain on plug connections.
• Consider expandability - If more slots might be needed later, choose modular versions that can be retrofitted (e.g. Connect Line or other modular strips).

In conclusion, multiple socket outlets are indispensable when multiple devices need to be operated simultaneously – but quality, convenience, and sophisticated design make the difference. With Bachmann, you get more than just simple strips; you get sophisticated solutions with added benefits: twisted inserts, low profile, stable mounting options, and modular expandability.

Whether for your desk, utility room, workshop, or living area – choose a Bachmann multiple socket outlet that suits your needs and benefit from a clean, safe, and flexible power supply.
