Surge suppressors can be such huge PITBs. I remember when I was working for the State back in the late '80s, I had a new box of them come in: and they had pretty much a 100% failure rate in the last socket on the frame. Drove me nuts. So I took to wrapping the last socket in electrical tape and never using it, telling the user to never use it, because it would fail. Must have been a cold solder job or something.
Sometimes you can find ones that have the sockets that are at right angles and adequately spaced to plug in power adapters. I also prefer the ones that have right angle power plugs. But I've yet to find the perfect surge suppressor.
