Overview

The ELECOM ECT-0105BK is a 10-outlet power strip designed for home and office use, featuring surge protection and dust shutters for added safety. With a 5-meter cord, it offers plenty of reach for desktop setups or living room arrangements. Rated at 125V 15A 1500W, it can handle multiple PCs, monitors, and household appliances simultaneously.
Its dual-layer heat-resistant casing and urea resin outlets provide extra fire protection, while the dust shutters prevent debris from entering unused sockets—reducing the risk of tracking fires and accidental child contact. The built-in surge protector guards connected equipment against induced lightning surges up to 12,500V (per JEC210/212 standard).

Connectivity & Compatibility

  • The power strip uses a 2-pin plug and offers 10 outlets. No 3-pin to 2-pin adapter is included, so it's best suited for devices with standard 2-pin plugs (common in Japan).
  • Outlet spacing is optimized to accommodate most AC adapters without blocking adjacent sockets, though very large adapters may still cause interference.
  • A 180-degree swivel plug makes it easy to route the cord in tight spaces behind furniture or desks.
  • This product is designed for Japan's 100V AC power system only. Do not use overseas.

Product Info

Released around 2019, the ECT-0105BK is part of ELECOM's Lightning Guard series. It sits in the entry-to-mid-range price tier, typically retailing around ¥2,500. The warranty is one year (requires proof of purchase). Accessories include three mounting screws (one spare) and a manual. It's widely available on online retailers and at major electronics retailers in Japan.

Best Use Cases

  • Home office or gaming desk with many peripherals: Connect your PC, monitor, printer, phone charger, and more—all protected by surge suppression. The 10 outlets eliminate the need for multiple adapters.
  • Families with young children: Dust shutters block unused outlets, reducing the risk of electric shock from curious fingers. The insulated plug cap also helps prevent tracking fires.
  • Users who need flexible cord routing: The 5m cord and swivel plug allow easy placement behind furniture or along baseboards. Mounting screws let you attach the strip to a wall or desk (note: electrical contractor may be required for permanent installation).
    Not ideal for those who need grounded (3-pin) outlets or plan to use the strip outside Japan. If you prefer a power strip with an on/off switch, consider a different model.
