A smart power strip works on the principle of one master outlet, and a number of slave outlets. The slave outlets are automatically turned off when the "master" device connected to the master outlet is switched off, enters "sleep" mode or standby. I was kindly provided a quality Green Power MDP 900 by Monster Cable for testing energy savings possibilities. (I do like their Green Power products for surge protection and power filtering.)

Tired of printing web pages only to find your printout is full of ads, empty space and other junk you don't want? Tired of feeling bad that you once again wasted part of a tree, never mind the toner and energy to produce this mess.
