Is my employer required to provide a power strip?

I am a 100% remote employee. My employer did not provide a large power strip for all of the equipment they sent, so I had to use a personal power strip. Well, they keep sending more and more equipment with larger and larger plugs. They have been unwilling to provide a larger power strip to accommodate these additional items. No worries, I can still perform my job perfectly without them. However, now they are insistent that I plug in the unnecessary equipment. I reminded them that I do not have the outlets for the unnecessary equipment, nor the need for a larger strip personally. In my mind, they should be providing a larger strip. Instead, they sent me an Amazon screenshot of “recommendations.” Are they required to send me a power strip large enough? Or do I have to pay out of pocket?
