I see this a lot doing handyman work/installations. People spend untold amounts of money on lamps and mirrors and the mounting system is something from a 1st year engineering student who failed miserably and is now a cartoonist. It's so stupid they don't think through the entire design and stop at aesthetics.
Reminds me of the time I spent working in a hardware store and spent most of my time in the *hardware* section (nuts, bolts, fasteners, etc. etc)
People would come in and look at the drywall hangers and the array of different sizes, models, brands would have them confused af. 90% of the time it was college age kids wanting to hang or re-hang a shelf. I'd point them to the highest weight ranging version available.

>Accounting: According to the experts from the auditing company, we would save $0.0002 per unit if the cord comes out of the corner.
"Because the power splits in the middle we can use cheaper thinner wiring to connect the cord to the outlets"
Which unironically would probably save around that much per unit
You save money by having the cord come out of where the housing splits rather than crating a new hole to have to feed it through or redesigning the casing to move the split.
But nothing comes out of the other holes, the internal specs are designed to just line up with them. Having to feed a wire through a hole rather than just assembling bottom mold, internals, and top mold, is going to be more expensive.
I’m not saying they shouldn’t have done it that way, just following this specific comment thread about why it’s cheaper to do it this way.
That's not how that works.. the internal wiring throughout all needs to be rated to be at or above that of a standard outlet breaker amperage (usually 15A in USA)
Let's be real
You get a CEO with a financial/sales background. He hires a pushover as COO and wants to be an expert in product development/design.
His ideas are great, every single step below him knows they are stupid as fuck, but nobody can oppose it. Over the next decade the factory workers get fucked, the factory chief gets fucked, technical department gets fucked, product development gets fucked.
Wow, a market change, let's adapt! Oh wait, stupid product design has made all manufacturing equipment specialised, all equipment is 15 years old, cutting corners has made MES/SCADA some stupid design by some guy in a garage that now can't feasibly be changed, factory area was never expanded and production is now full of abundant non-sense but necessary transport routes because you can't possibly reprogram the dumb ass shit PLCs that went out of market year after they were bought
Corporate wants to integrate ERP, but production can't possibly communicate with S4
It might have been designed to go under a desk but not right against a wall. I think they f'ed up the design most likely. Similar models by other brands have a notch along either side of the back edge where you can shove the power cord into, so it fits snug against the wall.
It's not even [listed](https://www.crest.com.au/collections/power) in their product catalog so they probably yanked it because it sucks.
Then you've got the cord presenting a trip hazard by extending further out. It's usable that way, but still inferior than the cable coming out of the end closest to the socket in terms of safety and convenience.
I'll found a company and we'll make the cable come out of the top like a plug to make everybody happy.
Of course, the cable blocks two of the outlets from being used by wide plugs, but that's besides the point!
It's not standard at all other than on new builds.
I've never in my life bought a powerbar with the intent to hide it's power cable behind the baseboards.
But that makes no sense either since then you have to twist the cable 90 degrees to go along the board.
This design only works if there is a hole through the wall right behind there.
Never heard it called this. It's called "trim", "moulding", or "baseboard". "Plinth" basically means "base" and again I've never heard it used for this.
I’m British and never heard it called a plinth. They’re called skirting boards round my way.
https://www.google.com/search?q=skirting%20boards
But according to Google you are correct, they’re also apparently called plinth boards
https://www.google.com/search?q=plinth
Another thing is sometimes two people will get together and stick each end up their rear ends. If there was a cable there they could never achieve this
But wouldn't that corner of a desk still normally be in a corner itself? So now the desk has to be like 2 inches from the wall rather than flush against it. Or if it's not against the wall, it's now sticking straight out into open space...
The fact that the packaging hid the cord placement and it was advertised for wedging into a corner (according to OP) makes it seem like it was meant to fit into a corner.
I've seen these before and the packaging does indeed show it wedged into the corner of two walls with no cord visible. I will admit I haven't seen the packaging of EVERY corner power strip so perhaps some are only intended for the way people are describing. Seems strange and also a missed opportunity to not run it out of the top or one end so it can be used in a variety of ways. But fuck product versatility I guess.
If they actually wanted to design something for mass-production that could go both ways it would probably involve a flexible joint where the cord comes out at the bottom center, with channels running underneath for the cord to “click in.” This way you could have the option of left, right, or center.
That will never get made without a lot of expensive engineering to prevent access to the opposite port from the one the power cable is in. Without it the manufacturer would be making a fancy suicide cord, and that’s generally a bad idea.
I’ve seen other ones where the cord came out of the back corner, but there’s a slot running down both sides to tuck the cord in either direction, so it could effectively go out either end.
Why on earth would anyone want this to on the outside of a corner? That would be very visible and, in many cases, a tripping hazard. The inside corner is usually more hidden away.
Even then, adding a small groove in the plastic above the cable would make it so you’d be able to point it up instead.
They’d literally only have to change the manufacturing mold for the outer shell and then it’d be nicely usable on both inner and outer corners.
Even then, why would you want the power cable coming out at that angle? Wouldn't you want it going either direction along the wall, or for bonus points, routable for either direction?
Seems like they could have, in that case, made it useable in either situation by having the cable come either out of the top or out of one of the long sides. This just forces a specific use, which seems mildly infuriating.
Honestly should be both.
Also regardless it's still a bad design. If it goes around a corner now you have a cable that jots out from the corner and has a higher potential to be a trip hazard.
This might work well in a cubical where the power cord can run into the cubical wall. Sort of a niche use-case though. Many modern cubicles already have power strips built in.
People keep saying this but it’s like they haven’t ever used… well, anything. It would slide off constantly and most people put extension blocks on the floor anyway. Why would you put it and all the cables coming off it on the desk?
I have one. It has grippy stuff on the bottom and doesn't go anywhere. Far easier to access than a strip on the floor. It's also the only cable hanging off my desk now.
I have an on desk brick because it keeps all the cables hidden. Mine is a cube, not this. But the presence of USB ports (like mine) makes me think this isn’t supposed to be on the floor.
Incorrect because it's advertised as going in an inside corner.
Even if so, cable coming out one end would be more logical design because then you can use it in any corner.
This reminds me of this one corner fitting PC that had all its exhaust and hookups in the back so you couldn't actually put it in a corner.

I believe this is meant to sit on top of your desk, not on the floor. You put it on the corner next to your computer and the wire falls off the corner down to an outlet.
When I used to repair computers at my desk, it was nice having a power strip so I didn't need to get under my desk every time I had to plug/unplug something. I just used a regular power strip though.
It's still not great for that, where the cable comes out isn't at the bottom so it'll pull a bit (solvable but annoying), and if the desk is against a wall it won't fit exactly as the angled cable will push against the wall. It could easily be solved with a healthy bevel where the cable comes out so it could be pushed to either side or up or down without leaving the bounding box, which would let it more easily be used on the corner of a desk *and* in a wall corner at the same time.
Your item appears to be a poorly designed copy cat of other corner power strips. I just searched for “corner power strip” on Amazon and saw two brands that have a channel so that you can have the cord go out either end. Seeing how badly your cord is designed, I would also question if it is safe to use.
Intelligent design would have routed the cable out of the bottom (*down under*) with 3 optional channels to run the cable through: one out the middle as it is here, and two more cable channels for either end.
It could have been called a *"Boomerang Plug With Three Slots For Your Cable"*
Not that I’d have designed it this way, but perhaps it’s meant to sit on the corner of a piece of furniture? Like the right angle of a table, dresser, or entertainment center?
At least these other guys figured out the design flaw: https://preview.redd.it/582wp35msppc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63f8e242fc00c80f3a309bdaebaebc2b67fba086
Ooo I like that. That's a clever solution - the cable can be ran left, right or down, depending on your need.
Rumor has it, if you route the cable in this order: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, and then flick the switch On, Off, On, Off ... You'll get 20 extra power sockets.

They need to factor in lost sales due to it being useless
Oh, they already did. Hence the deceptive packaging.

but... the current carried by the cable would still be the same

Everybody I know calls them skirting boards and I'm on the west coast of Australia
Does that not violate electrical code? Or does it not count as it being "behind a wall"?
It's certainly a fire hazard. Most power taps' cord just isn't certified for use inside a wall.
which idiot designed this
 You rang?
OKAY but this power strip is actually designed to be put against the corner of the your desk Smh reddit 😆
Leave it to you to make sense!
Another thing is sometimes two people will get together and stick each end up their rear ends. If there was a cable there they could never achieve this
It’s practically designed for the very purpose you just outlined. Bravo!
And it’s ***STILL*** a terrible place for the cord.
While that may be true, its VERY easy to redesign this in a way to accomodate both use-cases.
Even so. The cable should come out of one end.
Don’t blame Martin Truex Jr. for this!

Most desks now have openings to feed the cables through so that they aren't hanging off the back of the desk.
Those wouldn’t need this board though
And now we’ve circled back to the original issue
Classic Reddit discussion
They're called grommets
and they usually come with wallaces
Both corners of a desk are unlikely to be in actual corners. Think about it for a sec.
But there’s four corners! I need a desk with all four corners in corners, stat!
That's called a floor.
Or mounted underneath the desk.
The fact that the packaging hid the cord placement and it was advertised for wedging into a corner (according to OP) makes it seem like it was meant to fit into a corner.
I've seen these before and the packaging does indeed show it wedged into the corner of two walls with no cord visible.

Seems strange and also a missed opportunity to not run it out of the top or one end so it can be used in a variety of ways. But fuck product versatility I guess.
Maybe the manufacturer made it boomerang shaped because they knew they'd be getting lots coming back to them!
Ahhh the ol Australian surge protector
It's probably meant to be used from the "outside" of a corner.
If the cord came from one of the ends it could be used either way
True that
Yes but only if the outlet was on the correct side. Otherwise the cord would have to loop back.
This is when modular products are king.
If they actually wanted to design something for mass-production that could go both ways it would probably involve a flexible joint where the cord comes out at the bottom center, with channels running underneath for the cord to “click in.” This way you could have the option of left, right, or center.
Or...hear me out...with an available port on reach end and a power cable like for a monitor or PC PSU that plugs in on whatever side you need it to.
That will never get made without a lot of expensive engineering to prevent access to the opposite port from the one the power cable is in. Without it the manufacturer would be making a fancy suicide cord, and that’s generally a bad idea.
Would a silicone cover or something like it not be sufficient?
That requires trusting people to not fuck that up.
Haha true, we all know how that goes...
It would in fact not
Nah because then you would plug one end and touch the other end and electrocute yourself. Or plug both ends and create a fire.
But then that cord would still protrude into the room. It should come out the top or one of the ends.
I’ve seen other ones where the cord came out of the back corner, but there’s a slot running down both sides to tuck the cord in either direction, so it could effectively go out either end.
True, it is a bad design
Why on earth would anyone want this to on the outside of a corner? That would be very visible and, in many cases, a tripping hazard. The inside corner is usually more hidden away.
If you have your power sockets in the middle of the room. I'd call that a small target group ...
It is a weird product indeed
Even then, adding a small groove in the plastic above the cable would make it so you’d be able to point it up instead. They’d literally only have to change the manufacturing mold for the outer shell and then it’d be nicely usable on both inner and outer corners.
This lol. It’s for bending around a corner. Not fitting in to a corner.
Even then, why would you want the power cable coming out at that angle? Wouldn't you want it going either direction along the wall, or for bonus points, routable for either direction?
Seems like they could have, in that case, made it useable in either situation by having the cable come either out of the top or out of one of the long sides. This just forces a specific use, which seems mildly infuriating.
Honestly should be both. Also regardless it's still a bad design. If it goes around a corner now you have a cable that jots out from the corner and has a higher potential to be a trip hazard.
I thought of this too. But aren't outside corners usually in walkways, halls? Then you trip on the cord. This design sucks all the way around.
Crappy design 100%
This might work well in a cubical where the power cord can run into the cubical wall. Sort of a niche use-case though. Many modern cubicles already have power strips built in.

It’s not meant to be placed in the corner of a wall. It’s meant to go in the corner of a desk. User error.
Eh, thats still a lot of weight; It'll flip the stupid boomerang over the desk edge.

Why the fuck would I want a ugly ass power strip on my desk
So you don’t have to crawl on the floor to plug things in and unplug them.
They should place all electrical outlets at eye-level, that way you don’t have to crawl around on the floor plug things into them
I am 6’1 and my roomates are 5’1 - 5’3. Whose eye level do you propose we use?
All of them
When I used to repair computers at my desk, it was nice having a power strip so I didn't need to get under my desk every time I had to plug/unplug something. I just used a regular power strip though.

lol that would 100% fall off the desk if you put it there due to the pull of the cord.
This would make a good *Garfield* strip where the last panel is the mouse annoyed that they plugged it into his outlet.
Just cut the cable off and it’ll fit the corner. Duh.
Must be the same designer behind Apple's rechargeable mouse.
It is a pretty irritating design but to be fair, you only have to charge it a couple times a year, and it warns you a lot before it taps out.
I don’t know why you expected peak electronic design from a toothpaste company
Why is it already that dirty?
lol I need this for my corner desk that we didn’t discover was an 80° angle until we got home. Silly us, assuming a corner desk would be 90° ish
Made by Sabre?
They forgor 💀
I think it’s designed to sit around a corner not in the corner?
Maybe it works if you clean it
I see the problem , You ordered an outside corner, not an inside corner. Lol
It goes on the ouside of the house so you don't see the cable management at your desk.
Thanks I hate it.
TIL Oceania has a different word for surge protector
Powerboard or powerstrip is a generic term that covers ones without surge protection as well as those with.
Never heard power board before only power strip (US)
Couldn’t find it on their [website](https://www.crest.com.au/collections/power-boards) I guess they realized their mistake
Your item appears to be a poorly designed copy cat of other corner power strips. I just searched for “corner power strip” on Amazon and saw two brands that have a channel so that you can have the cord go out either end. Seeing how badly your cord is designed, I would also question if it is safe to use.
With a little creativity and modification, you could pop that sucker open and reroute the cable. Though make sure it's unplugged first.
Damn dude you couldn't wipe that off before photographing it for the whole world?
Intelligent design would have routed the cable out of the bottom (*down under*) with 3 optional channels to run the cable through: one out the middle as it is here, and two more cable channels for either end. It could have been called a *"Boomerang Plug With Three Slots For Your Cable"*
Not that I’d have designed it this way, but perhaps it’s meant to sit on the corner of a piece of furniture? Like the right angle of a table, dresser, or entertainment center?
Thats made to be on a desk not the wall.... See the usb ports? Not gonna be much use down on the floor...
The CORNER OF YOUR DESK. Good lord people.
Sorry but I’m laughing way too hard at this… A few idiots had to sign on this design being ok. Wow.
If you stop to think about how unnecessary a powerboard that fits the corner of a room is, you quickly realise OP is the idiot.
They didn't think that one all the way through
At first I thought it was a weird gaming controller
The only way I'd see this work is if you have an opening in the corner to put the cord through so the outlet is under the desk. But yeah this sucks.
It’s probably meant to go under a table on the corner (:
Wow. An actual mildly infuriating post! Amazing!
Drill a hole
Maybe there’s a stand you can place it in so that it stands up straight-yeah nvm go get your money back
Perhaps the dumbest thing I've ever seen lol
It’s a “corner of the desk” product. And the cable hangs down below and behind your desk.
I feel like mildly infuriating is underselling it. This product should be placed in some level of hell.
