does it block outlet

If you are asking if it has a outlet built in, no. But it is not so large that it blocks the second outlet.

No it will only block one if you plug it into the top part of the standard outlet. Doing this will leave room for another plug in. However, if you plug it into the bottom socket then both will be covered. Works like a charm

Yes! A power strip with 4 outlets fit in the back and it nicely hides the cords and just the power strip is plugged into the wall.

Mine came with a power cable. It is about 3 feet long and the cable is at a right angle to the 3 prong plug. If plugging into a 2 plug outlet on a wall, the cable would block one of the outlets if you plugged it into the top, for example, with the ground oriented toward the floor. I haven't had problems with the plug in particular, though I don't find the 90 degree cable orientation to be ideal for my use.

You could hide it behind the unit, but it all depends on your placement of the unit. Mine covered my cable outlet, but my wall plug is off to the side. Depending on your number of electronics, it could get full pretty quickly behind the unit if you place it over your wall outlet - depends on your cable management.

A standard 3 prong (grounded) plug will fit the upper outlet fine along with the surge protector in the lower outlet: the upper outlet is not blocked. This of course assumes that the top plug is not oversize, i.e. charger plugs, or come with a super heavy duty cord that does not flex.

No. It is strictly a Surge Suppressor outlet. Think of it as a single outlet power strip with surge suppression.

It should. They are pretty bulky and i use it to cover a huge plug that takes up both outlets.

It only blocks the receptacle it is plugged into, you may have to put it on the bottom to access the top one.

No, it is a conventional outlet that is recessed to allow for more convenient routing of cables and power cord for wall mounted TV sets.I have a whole house surge protector, so this was not a concern for me regarding this particular item. I hope this helps.Steve Gray

Yes it does. Make sure the timer you use in the wall is for 3-prong outlet (grounded)

It didn't block the top outlet for me with normal plugs, but the circular UPS plugs I had on the same outlet didn't fit very well. I used short cord extensions to bring the adapter away from the wall. My experience was that if you use the short (say 3-inch) extension cords, your bandwidth won't be affected and you can eliminate and spacing issues nicely.

Yes it does but make sure you protect it from the weather. If water gets in it, it won't work. I ended up cutting it off and putting a regular plug on it. My wall receptacle is already protected.

No it does not block the charging port. In fact, I just got back from a business trip where I used a normal charger just as you described.

I put it in the upper socket and the lower socket is totally accessible, however the other way around it would be blocking the other outlet.

It just plugs in to existing outlet, but it covers the whole outlet. It works great, though.

It does. It is basically just a timed relay. I believe the maximum current is around 10 amps. Which is huge for an outlet. You'll be good to go.
