I have about twenty multiple outlet strips. You know, the things

I need to set up a charging rack for all my portable radios, cell
phones,
and various other things that need charging.

Those outlets are too close together to use all of the outlets on one
strip.
With a charger pod, you can only use about every other one on some
types of
chargers. Some chargers are thin, and will use every plug. I saw
one in
the catalog on the plane the other day that comes with several short
extensions from the strip so you can plug in all the chargers, but
then you
end up with a bigger bird's nest of wire.

Does anyone make these that have the plugs spaced wider apart for
chargers?
If they do, I haven't seen any yet.



Google power strip transformer and you'll get some hits. They're
becoming much more common - any good office supply or computer store
should have some.

They also make short "liberators" with two or three recepticals on short
cords emanating from one plug:

They allow you to dangle a number of wallwarts from a single outlet.

Someone here will probably warn about the fire hazards of letting a
wallwart lie on a carpeted floor. I suppose that could be true if
something shorted out and overloaded it, but thus far I've never felt a
wallwart in use get hot enough to not comfortably hold in my hand, nor
have I seen any code directives against using those "splitters".

I'm not too old to learn however.....
