This question, already 63 in a row, with just such a title, was asked by the reader Denis. If you have your own answer to the question, then write it in the comments below. I and other readers will be happy to read it.
The text of the question itself read literally as follows:
Good day! Please tell me. In the house, behind the computer space, there is a pair of sockets and a PILOT is connected to them. The pilot itself is connected to 8 devices. The question is actually what. What will be the right thing to do, make a lot of sockets in the wall, or leave everything as it is, a couple of sockets and a pilot for them?
I considered the issue and advised Denis within the framework of my knowledge and qualifications as follows:
Hello!
If you have planned a major overhaul of the room, and will redo the electrical wiring in the room in a new way, you can install several power outlets.
If you wish, you can divide these sockets into groups and provide different protection for them in the distribution box. Otherwise, it is impractical to engage in replacement, especially since a good surge protector is equipped with built-in protection. And this significantly increases its relevance for the operation of personal computers and other high-precision electronics in comparison with conventional plug sockets.
We will immediately make a reservation on the plug sockets - if you mount individual ones in the wall, it is better to take block models. If you want to install several single or double ones, think about how to power them - you will pull the line separately for each one or power it with a loop. The first method is more reliable, but expensive in terms of cable consumption. The second option is more profitable in terms of the length of the cable, but inferior in the reliability of power supply.
