TESSAN TS-1020-C Surge Protector Power Bar, 4 AC Outlets, 3 USB Ports

A bedside setup tucked behind furniture has different needs from a desk where several devices need power and charging at once. The TESSAN TS-1020-C brings both uses together in a compact power bar.

Its 45-degree flat plug and 5-foot cord help make better use of a wall outlet in tight spaces. The low-profile plug is designed to sit behind furniture close to the wall.

With four AC outlets and three USB ports, including one USB-C, it provides a shared charging spot for a home office, dorm room or guest area.

What to know

The three-sided layout separates four AC outlets to make room for larger plugs, while two USB-A ports and one USB-C port add direct charging options for devices such as a cell phone, tablet, headphones or camera. That can make a desk easier to organize than a setup relying on separate charging points for each device. The USB-C output is rated up to 5 V/3 A, and each USB-A port up to 5 V/2.4 A, the combined USB output is rated at 3 A total.

The slim, 0.31-inch flat plug is angled at 45 degrees, helping the power bar fit behind a bed, couch or desk placed near a wall. Its 5-foot extension cord offers reach from the outlet to a nearby work surface or bedside table. Surge protection adds protection for connected electronics against power surges.

The unit is rated for 100–125 V AC at 50/60 Hz, with a maximum power rating of 10 A at 125 V. It uses a Type B, three-pin North American plug. The grey power bar has two mounting holes for installation on a wall or other suitable surface, plus rubber feet to help keep it stable on a desk or nightstand.

How to use it

Place the power bar where its cord can reach the wall outlet without being stretched, then connect your devices to the AC and USB ports that suit them. For example, it can keep a laptop and desk accessories connected while using the USB ports for a phone, tablet or headphones. In a bedroom, the same combination can bring bedside electronics and USB charging together in one spot.

The mounting holes offer another way to position the bar when keeping a surface clear is useful. The flat plug is intended for tight spaces behind furniture, route the cord neatly along the floor or beside furniture so it does not interfere with everyday movement.

Tips for day-to-day use

The widely spaced outlets are useful when plugs have larger housings, and the three-sided arrangement gives you more than one direction for connecting them. Keep USB charging close to where devices are used—on a desk, beside a bed or in a shared guest area—rather than scattering charging points around the room.

Buyers often appreciate the flat plug for positioning the strip behind beds and furniture, along with its compact size and mix of outlet and USB options. Those practical details make it handy for a room where access to a wall outlet is awkward or several everyday devices need a convenient place to connect.

When it makes sense

Choose this power bar when one wall outlet needs to serve a combination of AC-powered equipment and USB-charged devices. Compared with using a simple extension cord for one device, its four AC outlets and three USB ports offer a more centralized charging setup, a basic cord may suit a single connection, while this format is useful for a desk, dorm room, bedside area or travel lodging with several devices to plug in.

Its low-profile plug, 5-foot cord and mounting holes make it particularly suited to arranging power around furniture or a compact work area. For a tidy, accessible place to connect everyday electronics and charge USB devices, the TESSAN TS-1020-C combines flexible placement with useful connection variety.
