Computer Circuits

Have you ever looked under your desk and seen a tangled mess of cords that looks like a wiring disaster? Maybe it’s a mix of power cords, low-voltage cables for your printer, fax machine, or phone, all jumbled together. Not only does it look bad, but it’s also not great for your devices—those tangled cords can interfere with performance and cause all kinds of headaches. Let’s be honest: it’s probably so bad you don’t even know which cord goes to what anymore!

Here’s the thing: every single one of those cords is powering something important for your computer setup. If you’re like most people, you probably have one or two surge protector strips jam-packed with plugs. The problem? All those devices are drawing power from the same circuit, and chances are, it’s too much. You’re likely overloading the circuit.

In fact, the outlet you’re using for your computer is often part of a larger circuit that powers multiple outlets—and maybe even your lights. Ever notice your lights flickering or dimming when you print something? That’s a classic sign of an overloaded circuit.

With so many devices in one room, especially if you’re adding a computer and its accessories, there’s a good chance your circuit just can’t handle it all. That’s why it’s a smart idea to have one or two dedicated outlets installed specifically for your computer and hardware.

Why is this so important? Overloaded circuits aren’t just an inconvenience—they’re dangerous. They can cause fires, electrocution, property damage, and even destroy your expensive computer equipment.
