Tripp Lite Safe-IT Medical-Grade Power Strip, 6 Outlets - Durable

Our review of the Tripp Lite Safe-IT PS-602-HG finds it is a purpose-built medical-grade power strip for non-patient-care areas that need reliable, code-compliant AC distribution. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of six NEMA 5-15R-HG hospital-grade outlets and UL 1363 certification, which together deliver a durable, compliant solution for administrative rooms, clinics, labs and facilities that require cleaner, safer power without line-operated patient equipment. It is a straightforward, no-frills unit that emphasizes safety and dependability over consumer bells and whistles.

Key Features

• Medical-grade outlets: Six NEMA 5-15R-HG hospital-grade receptacles provide consistent, code-aware power for multiple devices used in medical and professional settings.
• UL 1363 compliance: Built to meet UL 1363 specifications so it can be used in non-patient-care vicinities where certified power distribution is required.
• Compact cord length: The 1.5 ft. cord with a NEMA 5-15P-HG plug keeps the strip close to wall outlets for tidy installations in carts or wall-mounted setups.
• Built-in overload protection: An internal resettable 15A circuit breaker protects connected equipment from dangerous overloads without a user-replaceable fuse.
• Rugged construction: All-metal housing and a switchless design reduce accidental shutoff and stand up to the demands of busy facilities.
• Mounting options: Optional keyhole mounting tabs and flanges make it easy to secure the strip to a wall, cart or equipment rack.

Who It's For

The PS-602-HG is best suited for hospitals, clinics, medical offices, laboratories, and educational or business facilities that need certified power outside patient-care vicinities. Facilities that must follow UL 1363 guidance or require hospital-grade plugs and receptacles will appreciate the compliance and build quality.

It is not intended for powering life-support or line-operated medical devices used at the point of patient care, nor for users who need long cords or integrated surge suppression; those buyers should evaluate other products designed specifically for patient-care equipment or models with extended cords and surge protection features.
