> "surge protector" is what Americans call a passive device that splits one outlet into several, yeah?
Technically different, but often combined functions. The splitting bit is a "power strip", or sometimes a "power bar". The surge protection is switching off when there's a short or overvoltage in the supply, or other larger than expected power draw.
