Simply plug the EcoStrip 2.0 USB Controlled Powerstrip into any PC or Mac and begin to save instantly.

Just plug your computer into the master outlet on the EcoStrip, plug your peripheral devices into the remaining five outlets on the EcoStrip, and plug the EcoStrip patented USB cable into your computer.
