JcBlaon QC860-CU Power Strip with 8 AC Outlets, 4 USB Ports and 1050J Protection

Some workspaces need extra AC outlets, others also need convenient USB charging and a way to keep bulky plugs apart. The JcBlaon QC860-CU combines both in a compact outlet extender with a 5-foot flat extension cord. Need to power a desk setup without crowding the neighbouring sockets? Its multi-directional layout helps make room for larger adapters.

Why it’s worth it

Eight widely spaced AC outlets and four built-in USB ports—two USB-C and two USB-A—give you options for connecting everyday equipment and charging devices from one spot. The outlet spacing is 1.57 inches, designed to help keep larger plugs from blocking adjacent sockets. That can be useful at a home office desk with a monitor, printer and desk lamp, alongside a cell phone or tablet that charges through USB.

The USB ports support 5V/2.4A per port, and smart charging technology detects the connected device. A 1050-joule surge-protection rating, overload reset circuit breaker and green grounded/protected indicator add practical protection and a visible status check for a desk or shared living space. The flat plug and 5-foot cord offer more flexibility for positioning the strip than a short, fixed outlet extender.

Quick overview

The QC860-CU is a black power strip with eight AC outlets, four USB charging ports and a 1050J surge-protection rating. Its four-sided socket arrangement is designed to reduce plug conflicts, while the flat extension cord can run beneath furniture or through a narrow gap behind a desk. A slot on the back supports wall mounting or installation beneath a cabinet, providing an alternative to placing the strip on a tabletop.

It suits common electronics and accessories such as laptops, monitors, printers, fans, gaming consoles, cameras, DVD players, cell phones and tablets. For a small office or dorm room, the mix of outlets and USB ports lets several devices share one power location, a basic strip with AC outlets alone may be a simpler fit when USB charging is not needed.

Usage tips

Place the strip where its cord can reach the wall outlet without being stretched, and use the flat plug to route it through a tight furniture gap. For a clearer desk surface, use the rear slot to mount it on a wall, desk or beneath a cabinet. Switch on the overload protection to activate it, and use the green indicator to check grounded/protected status at a glance. The product is described for daily indoor use, making a home office, bedroom or dorm room a natural setting.

What to clarify

How many devices can it connect? It has eight AC outlets and four USB ports, for up to twelve connected devices across those sockets and ports. The USB ports comprise two USB-C and two USB-A connections.

Will larger power adapters block other outlets? The AC sockets are spaced 1.57 inches apart and arranged in multiple directions to help accommodate bulky plugs while leaving neighbouring outlets accessible.

Can it be placed off the desk? Yes. The rear mounting slot supports installation on a wall, desk or the underside of a cabinet. Its 5-foot flat extension cord also helps route power beneath furniture or through narrow gaps.

When it makes sense

It makes sense if your workspace or shared room needs a single place for several AC-powered devices plus USB charging. The combination of spaced outlets, mixed USB ports, a flat 5-foot cord and 1050J surge protection brings useful flexibility to a home office, bedroom or dorm setup.
