Re: Power strips
There's no problem as long as the things plugged in don't exceed the amperage of the receptacle or breaker.

Re: Power strips
If you think so, you need to go and look in your own office or computer room....

Re: Power strips
Jeff,

That looks like it's permanently attached and not rated as a permanently attached fixture.

Re: Power strips
Wiring looks like its stapled to the wall to me. Does anyone think so?

I always write up NM cable on the exterior of drywall (gypsum board) anyway. Its not protected against damage.

Re: Power strips
I agree with the need of conduit... however, I thought we were talking about the power strips only

Re: Power strips
While the power strip is not right, it is secured in place and is not a permanent wiring method, and, the cord appears to be secured in place, but, ...

I think this is what Rick H was referring to.

... that lamp cord going down the wall is a no-no! As is that plug thingy (technical term) at its end.

Re: Power strips
With a little bit of proper planning, this person could have had all the power they needed before the drywall was even installed and not needed any of that mess.
