Power Limits and Extension Cables

Two outlets per person. Don't trip the breaker.

We have enough power for everyone, but only if you follow the rules.

The Limit

You get TWO (2) power outlets.

  • One for your PC/Laptop.
  • One for your Monitor.

Need more?

Bring a power strip.

  • Plug your strip into one of your allocated outlets.
  • Plug your phone charger, second monitor, etc., into your strip.
  • Do not plug your strip into another strip (daisy-chaining).

Safety

  • Do not bring a UPS. They cause load spikes that trip breakers.
  • Do not bring a space heater, fan, or kettle.
  • Keep cables tidy. Don’t create a trip hazard in the aisle.

Breaker tripped?

If your row loses power:

  1. Unplug everything.
  2. Tell staff which row.
  3. Do not flip breakers yourself.
  4. Staff will identify the overloaded circuit and redistribute load.
