CCCEI CC20A-08-01 Heavy-Duty Power Strip, 8 Outlets, 12-Gauge 6-ft Cord

Workshop and garage setups often need outlets close to the tools and equipment in use. The CCCEI CC20A-08-01 brings eight outlets together in one yellow, metal-enclosure power strip.

Its 12-gauge, 6-foot cord gives you room to position the strip near a work area, while the mountable design helps keep outlets accessible instead of tucked under a desk or bench.

Surge protection rated at 4,800 joules, grounding protection, and overload protection add practical safeguards for a busy equipment station.

Quick overview

With eight outlets, this strip can bring several devices to one central connection point. That’s useful in a workshop where a computer, lighting, audio gear, or other equipment may need power in the same area. The 6-foot cord helps with placement, and the on/off switch makes it easy to control power from the strip. A light indicator shows when it is on.

The metal enclosure and yellow finish make the unit easy to identify among garage or shop equipment. Its Type B three-prong plug is specified as NEMA 5-15P. Customer feedback frequently praises its heavy-duty feel and ability to serve several devices, some buyers also report concerns about durability, so feedback is not uniform.

Everyday use

Use the outlets to organize a workbench or equipment station without scattering individual extension cords across the immediate work area. For example, a garage setup can keep a laptop, task light, and other compatible devices connected at the same station, with the switch within reach. The wall-mountable format can help place the outlets where they are easier to access, while the yellow body stands out against typical workshop surfaces.

This is a different approach from choosing a compact strip for occasional desk use: the eight-outlet layout, 12-gauge cord, metal housing, and surge protection are features suited to a more equipment-focused workspace. Match the connected load to the electrical ratings of the strip and the outlet supplying it, and avoid overloading it. Keep liquids away from the outlets, if used outdoors, protect the strip from exposure.

How to use it

Connect the three-prong plug to a compatible outlet, then arrange devices so their cords reach without creating a tangle across the work area. Use the on/off switch to control power at the strip. The unit also has overload protection and a reset button, which gives you a control point on the power strip itself. For a wall-mounted setup, position it so the outlets and switch remain accessible, and follow appropriate mounting practices for the surface.

Its surge protection is rated at 4,800 joules. That gives buyers a documented protection rating to consider when choosing a strip for electronics and workshop equipment. Keep the connected devices within the applicable electrical limits, and do not disassemble the unit unless you are qualified to do so.

Questions before you buy

How many devices can I plug in? The strip has eight outlets. The number of devices you can safely run at once depends on their combined electrical load and the ratings of the strip and supply outlet.

What plug does it use? It has a three-prong Type B plug, listed as NEMA 5-15P, for connection to a compatible outlet.

Can I mount it on a wall? Yes. The product is described as mountable, making it possible to position the outlets for easier access at a workstation or in a garage.

When it makes sense

Choose the CCCEI CC20A-08-01 when a workshop, garage, or equipment station needs multiple outlets grouped in an accessible location. Its eight-outlet layout, mountable metal body, 12-gauge 6-foot cord, and 4,800-joule surge protection make it a practical fit for organizing a dedicated work area. The visible switch and grounding and overload protections add useful features for everyday use around connected equipment.
