Cool Power Daisy Chain

I'm taking the plunge and buying some Furman PlugLocks which has prompted a question about power.

Currently I have my power strip daisy chained together. I have an APC uninterrupted and a PL Plus conditioner, both with multiple outlets. Should have set up my power strips so that they are all discretely connected to the PL Plus?



Thanks,


Ian

Set up with a hub and spoke, each secondary power strip has its own plug on the master power strip. It makes hunting for ground issues or bad power strips easier.

Cool

Thanks Guys,


I've started working on it and I found a path.

I'm plugging all the essential computer stuff into the UPS and I've divided the other items up on the PL-Plus. This allows me to save my files if the power goes out and like you said, keeps things separated in the event of ground hums etc.
