Do Away With Messy Wiring!
Chances are, if you're a gadget freak you have a couple of surge protectors around that serve as the focal point of a tangled mess of power cords. Belkin's hoping to change that with its new self-organizing surge protector, Conceal. It has an interesting folding design that lets you plug everything in and just clamp the thing shut, leaving all the mess hidden away -- except where those cables come out of the side, of course. Fortunately, the cables are at least all pointed in the right direction in some semblance of order. The high-end surge protector has eleven outlets (six regular, six "blocks" for large AC adapters, plus an extra "convenience" plug on the side) and ports for Ethernet, coax, and fax/modem cables. We played around with it recently when Belkin was in town and we certainly think this is a great solution for untangling the mess of wires every electronics consumer deals with. It does have one major drawback, however: the price. At $59 through Belikin's online store, Conceal will set you back a good bit more than your average $6 strip from the convenience store.
