Addtam AD5004B Surge Protector Outlet Extender, 5 AC Outlets, 4 USB Ports, 1800J

Five AC outlets and four USB ports turn one wall outlet into a compact charging and power hub, helping keep everyday electronics together in one place. The Addtam AD5004B adds 1800-joule surge protection and a three-sided layout with extra spacing between AC outlets for a more practical setup around a desk, nightstand, or TV cabinet.

Its Type B plug connects directly to a duplex wall outlet, and the mountable design includes a stabilizing post for a more secure fit. The USB ports can charge portable devices alongside equipment plugged into the AC outlets.

Tips for day-to-day use

Use the three-sided arrangement to separate larger plugs and reduce the chance that they block neighboring outlets. At a home office desk, for example, the AC outlets can serve a computer and other equipment while the USB ports handle phones or other portable devices. The same compact format can help organize charging in an apartment bedroom or beside a TV cabinet.

The four USB ports comprise three USB-A ports and one USB-C port. Their combined output is rated at 4.5 A, each USB-A port supports up to 2.4 A, and USB-C supports up to 3 A. Smart charging detects connected devices and adjusts output. The USB-C port is not intended for devices requiring 14–22V charging voltage.

Strengths

The main advantage over a basic outlet splitter is the combination of five AC connections, four USB charging ports, and surge protection in a wall-mounted format. Its 1800-joule rating is designed to help protect connected electronics from power surges and spikes. A surge-protection indicator light provides a visible status cue, while the three-sided layout gives larger plugs more room than a tightly packed row of outlets.

Need a shared charging spot without giving up AC connections? This extender keeps both types of power access within reach, which can make a small desk or bedside setup easier to arrange. It is rated for 125 volts and 15 amps, with a North American Type B three-prong plug.

Worth noting

The integrated stabilizing post supports the mountable design, while the plug-in format keeps setup straightforward: connect the extender to a wall outlet and arrange devices across its three sides. Its black finish and compact wall-tap form suit spaces where a long power strip would be awkward.

Buyer feedback often highlights the useful mix of USB ports, the fit in wall outlets, and the practical layout for rooms with few available outlets. Opinions on USB charging speed are mixed, so the USB ports are best considered a convenient way to charge compatible everyday devices rather than a substitute for a device-specific charger when charging speed is the priority.

What to clarify

How many devices can it connect? It has five AC outlets and four USB ports, allowing compatible AC equipment and USB devices to use the extender at the same time. The USB output is shared at 4.5 A across the four ports.

What does the surge protection rating mean? The 1800-joule rating describes the unit’s surge-absorbing capacity. An indicator light shows the surge-protection status.

Can the USB-C port charge any USB-C device? It supports USB-C charging up to 3 A, but it is not designed for devices that require 14–22V charging voltage. Check the device’s charging requirements when choosing a USB-C power source.

When it makes sense

The AD5004B suits a home office, apartment, dorm room, or TV area where one wall outlet needs to serve both plugged-in equipment and USB-charged devices. Choose it when a three-sided layout, spaced AC outlets, and built-in surge protection are more useful than a conventional strip with outlets arranged in a line.
