One Click Power is an extension lead that works with your computer or hi-fi equipment. The main purpose is to save energy (and consenquently, save money) and make your home office more environmentally friendly.
Plug your desktop computer into the black socket, and your peripheral devices (printer, monitor, scanner, etc) into the other sockets. When the computer is turned off (or on), One Click Power detects this and turns everything else off (or on). So, it will stop you from leaving them on standby (which wastes a huge amount of energy).
Besides your computer, it also works with hi-fi audio visual amplifier (and its peripheral equipments).
It features a low standby power of 0.6 of a watt. Maximum Power is 13 amps, and its cable Length is 2 metres.
