Home life can not be separated from electricity, not to mention patch panels. In recent years, the number of smart home hardware and mobile devices has increased dramatically, and every guy is "hungry for food" after feeding. Only high-quality patch boards can deal with these "power eating demons" safely and efficiently; In view of the mandatory implementation of the new national standard of interpolation in China after April 2017, the new interpolation should be selected more carefully. Today, the row plug evaluated by Bi Dianjun is from Schneider Electric, a Fortune 500 company. The brand's global influence is stronger than that of the domestic electric leader Bull. So it's a great pleasure to get this 1.8m-3 home/office row plug of Schneider Zhiyi series. Thank you Love to play computer games We will provide a trial opportunity, and then we will share with you our trial experience in recent days.

In fact, before the experience, my impression of Schneider still remained in the computer cabinet in the network center when I was at school. Industrial row Schneider brand is very common, but it is the first time to experience it at home. This product is packed in an environmentally friendly paper box, white and green, refreshing. The English LOGO corresponding to the Zhiyi series is Angular, which just indicates that the interpolation has the advantage of inclined plane. In addition, as a new national standard plug, there will be no shortage of child protection doors, 10A current overload protection, high flame retardant PC materials and other standard configurations.

The front and back of the packing box are all provided with a layout, while the back has more details. The humanized 5 ° bevel design echoes Angular from afar, and the layout of this series should have this inclination. As for whether it is humanized or not, we will experience it in detail.

Open the box and take out the insert directly. There is no plastic film covering, no additional instructions and warranty card. But I checked the back of the box and found that there is a two-year warranty commitment marked by Schneider.

The model I got is called "silver black", that is, the lower base is all black, and the upper surface is an integrated fine frosted panel, officially called "pearlescent silver" color. It is said that there are also elegant grey, natural gold, rose gold and other colors. In addition to the three position five hole new national standard jack, Schneider Electric embossing on one end, round corner square pressure spring switch and small hole for indicator light, the upper plane has no sill design, which gives a very strong overall feeling.

The spacing of the three socket positions is consistent, and a circle of rounded square decorative concave line is made for the socket position near the end to increase the visual beauty. This end is also marked with the maximum power of 2500W. Zhiyi series row and insert adopts high-quality flame-retardant engineering bullet proof adhesive, which is flame retardant at 750 ℃, beautiful and firm, and has ROHS/REACH environmental protection certification.

The plastic used for the child protection door is black, and the jack looks deep and textured. Of course, looking good is not the key. Whether the safety door can effectively prevent children from accidentally getting electric shock, and whether the plug is actually plugged in and pulled out smoothly are the key points that should be paid attention to. The actual experience of both is relatively high quality. After all, they are produced by big brands.

Knock the blackboard - from this angle, you can clearly see the 5 ° Angular angle of Zhiyi series. The upper edge of the black base is actually a horizontal plane, and the upper panel is the part that really produces the angle.

Because the plug is usually placed on the side or edge of the bottom of the desktop against the wall, the plug above needs to be reached, but the traditional plug needs to be pulled out vertically, and it is not delicious to reach or bend over. Schneider Zhiyi series has designed a plane tilt angle ingeniously, and the direction of pulling the plug manually only saves a lot of effort because of this small innovation.

In addition to easy plugging and pulling, this inclined plane has another humanization effect. For most ordinary plug banks, plugging in a large plug or a charging head whose center of gravity is biased one way will often cause the plug bank to overturn. Zhiyi Series uses the inclination angle of the upper plane to ingeniously shift the center of gravity of the plug bank to the other side for a certain distance, which can also maintain balance and stability after plugging in a large plug. The actual comparison test effect is really like this. So I am convinced that the inclination innovation is a humanized design.

The design of the power button is also worthy of comment. First, the feedback of press springback is relatively comfortable; Secondly, when the power is cut off, the switch is only a little higher than the plane of the plug row, which can avoid the misoperation of the switch or the influence of the switch on and off when the large volume or special-shaped plug is inserted near the socket (although the probability of the socket orientation being affected is very low at present). This experience was summed up by Bi Dianjun after stepping on Lei, so he attached great importance to it. It is also suggested that when purchasing the plug row, attention should be paid to whether the distance between the switch and the jack is too close, whether the switch design has considered the impact of accidental contact or being blocked by the plug, and whether the position is reasonable.

10A overload protection reset switch is installed at the outgoing end of the cable, which can further reduce the risk of leakage and electric shock of the plug. In addition, we can see that the cable outlet hole of Schneider Zhiyi series is very exquisite, and the rubber buffer sleeve with a length of nearly 1.7cm has also been made, which is very well done.

The cable is thick, black, strong and tenacious, 1.8 meters long, with unambiguous specifications, and has passed the national CCC certification together with the plug; 3x1mm ² RVV is limited by the new national standard. It uses high-quality copper conductor, which is not easy to heat up, has a long life, and is reassuring in quality.

There are 5 screw holes on the back of Schneider Zhiyi series row plug, and there is no anti-skid rubber foot pad, which is a pity - after all, the cable is so heavy that the row plug is easy to slide when it is placed on the table, and the bottom is not easy to be scratched when the rubber pad is high. The screw is an irregular triangle, which can't be disassembled without professional tools. This light experience will not be disassembled for the time being, and you will add disassembly evaluation later. Remind everyone that non professionals should not casually take the plug board at home to open and disassemble it. After all, it is an electrical appliance, and it is easy to be damaged if it is disassembled improperly. Improper assembly may also bring potential electricity use hazards.

Add a close-up of the plug. The plug is of medium size, integrated, solid three-phase electrode material, and CCC certification and parameter printing are complete.

The plug is also easy to plug and unplug, with enough strength and solid materials, and there is no shortage of buffer rubber blocks at the incoming end.

There is a plane made of piano paint on the back of the row plug, with various parameters of the row plug, some precautions and manufacturer information, website and customer service hotline, etc.

The 3-bit jack can be said to be both flexible and practical. However, it's a pity that Pen Dianjun didn't have USB output when he got this model. However, if the USB port is added, the volume of row plug will increase sharply. As far as the connection of the daily electrical plug is concerned, the three positions are just enough to extend the power supply line in a small range, and the larger hole spacing can also ensure that the plugs do not conflict with each other. According to the actual measurement, it is no problem to plug two quick chargers next to each other at the same time. If three Meizu quick chargers are not plugged in at the same time, one of them will plug in, which cannot be considered as a success. Personally, I think it is worthwhile for manufacturers to open as many hole spacing as possible if they design multi hole array in the future (although it will slightly increase the volume/length and width of the array, and increase the cost of useful materials).

There is just a black version of Xiaomi Row at home, which is compared with Schneider Zhiyi. Xiaomi's frosting looks thin and light, but after I plug in a big plug, such as the ORICO 4-port USB charger in my hand, the Xiaomi row plug is very easy to "roll over", while Schneider has "steady happiness" and stands out in design.

In addition, as I don't know, millet's upper surface sanding effect is thicker, while Schneider's is more meticulous. However, according to my experience, both should pay attention to prevent the surface from being scratched by sharp objects.

In actual use, plug and unplug various electrical plugs and charging heads for many times, and you can feel the biting force of the internal copper conductor is always there, neither too difficult to plug in nor too loose. The overall experience can definitely challenge the Bull patch board that has been used for 4 years at home.

summary

The three row inserts of Schneider Zhiyi series are made of sufficient materials and high-quality workmanship, and the new national standard is fully matched, giving a safe and reliable feeling; The jack is equipped with a safety protection door. The overall material selection, including the cable and plug, is high quality. It is high temperature flame retardant and has 10A overload protection. The cable is solid, and both ends have buffer protection to increase the service life. In terms of appearance color matching and appearance value, the integrated frosting process, simple style and upper surface inclination design make it present a unique visual sense. The latter can bring more convenience to plug in and out easily and stability that is not easy to overturn.

The product also has some shortcomings, for example, the back is not equipped with a soft rubber pad to prevent slipping, which increases the probability of scratching the back plate; In addition, it is recommended to expand the jack spacing a little more. If it can be expanded by 1-3mm, it will be enough for my three quick charging plugs to be plugged in at the same time; Finally, in addition to the paper box, there should be a plastic packaging that is more stable (I wonder if I got the original packaging), and it is not easy to get damp during transportation.

In a word, this evaluation made me fully understand the quality of Schneider's big brand, and further understand the quality of row and plug. If domestic emerging row manufacturers such as Xiaomi can refer to the experience of Schneider, they should be able to make more high-quality products. In a word, if you want to buy a practical N-bit socket separately, this Schneider Electric Zhiyi series socket with humanized tilt plane design can be included in the list of hands.
