TrippLite hospital grade power stripe

Has anyone tried TrippLite hospital grade power strips? Such as (http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtSeriesID=836&txtModelID=2661). I was going to build the DIY power center found at Audio Tweaks but in my search for parts I found the TrippLite website and now I'm not sure which way to go. I'd appreciate opinions from the more experienced.

Thanks,
Marvin

Suppliers Allied Electric, Newark, and Mouser all carry Wiremold hospital grade power strips. The part numbers are ULM6-15 and ULM4-15 for the 6 and 4 outlet strips respectively.

What are you attempting to accomplish: additional outlets, surge protection, filtration?

If it's just additional outlets, I'd say the Wiremold is a good, time tested device.

I use the wiremold 9 outlet strip. My only issue with it is that the outlets are too close together to allow use of the big round hospital grade plugs - I have to skip every other outlet, so I can only use 5 of the 9.

Thank you all for your response to my question. I decided to go for the TrippLite power strip for additional outlets. (http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtSeriesID=836&txtModelID=2661).
