Will this work with half-switched outlets (where one outlet is always live and one is switched), or do all the outlets get power from only one outlet?

I am not that familiar with half-switched outlets but I think this might work in one. This only plugs in to one of the wall outlets in a box, not both of them.

They all get power from one outlet. If you are willing to give up the switched verses always hot functionality, all six outlets will work but they will either all be in switched mode or all be in hot mode depending on which outlet the unit plugs into.

When you plug this in it actually plugs into both the top and bottom outlet. Then when you want to plug something in you can plug it into any of the six outlets and it will work no matter if it's using the top or bottom outlet...this unit makes them all work at the same time. Hope this helps.

Yup! That's basically right. There are two always-on outlets to be used for devices like that.

I have the two devices plugged into different breakers and they work, though I think it's not guaranteed that they do.

This single power strip serves as an on/off switch where none exists. It is not really a power strip because it is for a single outlet. If you connect an extension cord to the single outlet, then you can have more than one outlet controlled by an on/off switch. Don't buy this, if you want a traditional power switch!

Yes it works with both outlets I never had any problems or breakers that tripped.

Gary, this plugs into a double outlet covering the two sets of plug-ins and the six new ones are on either side but I do not know if one side is controlled by one plug or not. Since it probably cannot be plugged in without covering both outlets, I can't say. if one of your outlets is bad or not working, I do not know if this one will give you three or six or none at all.

Yes, one of my power strips does not have the on/off switch so I plugged it into the Belkin and it works fine.

yes the on/off switch on the unit will work if on and wont if off,regardless if its pluged in the outlet.by the way its a great unit. i have bought 3 of them.

Yes but I wonder why? The idea is when the master outlet provides powr to the master device, the switchable outlets also have power available for devices.

It's just a switching power supply but, for the cost of the plug adapter, it might make sense to find a similar product to plug directly into your outlet. Yea, it will work.

It depends if DC current can pass to the second unit. Some ports on the splitters pass DC power, others do not. If you are getting DC power on the other end of the cable, that should be sufficient to power the second unit.

I don't know, I use it with items plugged into all 3 regular outlets, but not with the USB plugs in use. It should work OK, it's made to be used that way.

Switched outlets repond to the power switch. Unswitched outlets do not respond to the power switch - they are always on while the power strip is plugged in.

No their is not. It doesn't matter what wattage the device you wish to use as the main (as long as it's not something crazy ie high powered tools, generators etc that will fry the power strip) when you that device is turn the internal circuitry of the power strip will send a response to the other outlets telling them to turn on. If a some or all of your device are not turning on/off at the same time their is a small knob on the side of the strip where you can adjust + or - to make them all work. Most of the time you do not need to touch this as it's very sensitive to adjustments you make.

It will only turn on/off the socket it's plugged in to. You're welcome to use the other one normally

This unit only uses a plug into the TOP receptacle of the outlet. Whichever is the control on that top part will be how this whole unit would operate. There would NOT be half and half operation.
