Power strip

今天跟Ed学到一个新单词:

power strip

很得意的跟胖胖炫耀

结果,上次老美也教他了...

不忿之余,想起Ed说这个东西其实还有一些别的名字,就好奇了一下

然后....注意下面的第一段

Power strip

A power strip (also known as a plug board, power board, power bar, distribution board, gangplug, plugbar, multibox, extension lead or relocatable power tap) is a strip of sockets that attaches to the end of a flexible cable and allows multiple devices to be plugged in. As such it can be considered a type of trailing socket though that term is more often used for single and double cable mounted sockets. The term is also used to refer to the complete assembly with the power strip on one end and a plug on the other. Power strips are often used when many electrical devices are in proximity, especially with audio/video and computer systems.

They have a max wattage specified to them, such as 3500 W.
