TROND TD-PS-US11S Tower Power Bar, 12 Outlets, PD 20W USB-C, Retractable Cord

The vertical tower format gives you access to outlets on four sides while keeping a desk setup arranged around a single wall connection. Twelve widely spaced AC outlets accommodate larger adapters, and four USB ports add charging options at the top. A 5ft retractable flat cord helps keep excess cable out of the way. The white finish suits a home office, dorm room or shared workspace.

What to know

The TROND TD-PS-US11S combines 12 AC outlets with two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports, so a laptop, monitor, printer and other compatible devices can share one power bar. Wide spacing between the AC outlets helps keep larger plugs from crowding neighbouring sockets. The tower rotates for access around the unit, which is useful when it sits beside or behind a desk rather than in the middle of the work surface.

For USB charging, one USB-C port supports PD 20W, while the four USB ports share a total output of 15W. The AC side is rated for up to 1,625W at 125V/13A, with 1,700 joules of surge protection. Overload, short-circuit and over-current protection are also listed, and the on/off switch has a reset function. The enclosure uses UL94 V-0 flame-retardant PC and ABS materials.

A conventional power bar places outlets in a row, this tower’s four-sided layout makes more sense when several plugs need to remain accessible around a compact workstation. The flat Type B plug is designed to fit behind furniture, and the retractable cord can be wound back by holding the base and rotating the tower.

Tips for day-to-day use

Place the tower where its outlets are easy to reach, then rotate it to bring the connections you need towards you. When the desk is cleared or the power bar is moved, retract the cord to reduce loose cable around the work area. The rocker switch provides a single point for turning the connected setup off, and its reset function is there if the overload protection trips.

The vertical layout is especially practical for a desktop with a mix of power adapters and USB-charged devices. For example, you can connect a monitor and printer to the AC outlets while charging a phone or tablet through USB. If your priority is a line of outlets spread across a surface, a conventional strip may better match that layout, if you want several connections gathered around one accessible point, the tower design keeps them together.

Practical tips

Before connecting a group of devices, consider their combined AC load and keep it within the bar’s 1,625W maximum rating. Use the USB-C port with PD 20W for a compatible phone or tablet, and remember that all four USB ports share 15W total output. The flat, three-prong Type B plug is suited to a matching wall outlet, position the bar so the plug and cord are not pressed or pinched behind furniture.

Buyer feedback often points to the compact footprint, retractable cord and space-saving layout as useful features for keeping a desk tidy. Those details are most relevant when a workstation has several everyday devices but limited room for a long power bar and loose cable.

Is it worth it?

It makes sense if you want a single power hub for a home office, dorm room or computer setup, with AC outlets for equipment and USB ports for everyday charging. The widely spaced sockets help with larger adapters, while the rotating tower keeps connections reachable from different sides. Add the retractable 5ft flat cord and 1,700-joule surge protection, and the result is a practical choice for organizing a multi-device desk without spreading plugs across the work surface.
