FDTEK Flat Plug Power Strip with USB (4 AC + 3 USB), 5 ft Cube Extension Cord, Overload Protection, Black
Product description
If your desk (or hotel room) turns into a charging logjam, this FDTEK cube-style power strip is built to keep things usable. It combines 4 AC outlets with 3 USB charging ports, and it’s designed so adapters can sit side-by-side without taking over every outlet.
On paper, it’s the kind of compact desktop charging station that helps you power more things at once—phone, lamp, laptop, and other everyday devices—without turning your workspace into a tangle of cords. That said, because it’s a small cube, it’s not the best fit if you routinely need lots of heavy-duty outlets or a long cable reach for a wide room layout.
Key takeaways
You get a flat plug power strip that’s meant to be space-friendly, plus overload/safety protection and an on/off switch for convenience. The USB side uses built-in smart IC charging to identify devices and distribute current based on what’s connected.
The big practical win is layout: the AC outlets are arranged so bulky adapters are less likely to block each other. If you’ve ever fought with a power strip where one charger “steals” the outlet next to it, you’ll probably appreciate this design.
What matters most for everyday use
This is a desktop charging station style power strip with a 5 ft power cord. The flat plug matters more than you’d think: it should help you access outlets in tight spaces behind furniture or desks where a thicker plug might be too awkward.
The cube format also aims to look tidy. Instead of spreading across a table and creeping into cables, it’s designed to sit neatly and keep your setup contained—whether that’s an office desk, a nightstand, or a shared travel space.
And when you’re done charging, the top on/off switch can help you cut power when the outlets aren’t in use. It’s a small touch, but it’s exactly the kind of thing people use daily.
Where it shines
The manufacturer positions it for charging multiple devices at once: up to 7 devices simultaneously (4 AC + 3 USB). In real-life terms, that could mean charging a cell phone and tablet over USB while powering an AC lamp or small appliance—without waiting for one outlet to free up.
Another standout is the USB output: the total USB output is 5V 2.4A, with smart IC charging intended to automatically identify connected devices and optimally distribute current.
A quick use example
Picture a work-from-home setup: you plug in your lamp and a laptop charger to the AC outlets, then connect your phone and tablet to the USB ports. Because the USB ports sit separately from the AC outlets—and the cube design is meant to reduce adapter blocking—you’re less likely to end up rearranging everything just to plug something in.

Things to consider before buying
A few limitations are worth keeping in mind. First, the USB charging is capped at 5V 2.4A total, so it’s not meant to be a high-powered charging hub for every demanding device at once—more of a practical “cover the basics” station for phones, tablets, and similar gear.
Second, it’s described as having non-surge protection design and mentions it can be suitable for a cruise ship. That’s useful context, but if you’re specifically looking for surge protection for sensitive electronics, you’ll want to double-check what “non-surge protection design” means for your needs before relying on it.
Finally, since it’s a compact cube, it’s better aligned with desk/home/hotel/travel setups than with larger home theater or whole-room distribution needs.
Final verdict
You should buy this FDTEK flat plug power strip with USB if you want a compact desktop charging station that handles multiple devices, uses smart USB charging for phones/tablets/power banks, and is designed to reduce adapter blocking with its side outlet layout. The on/off switch and overload protections are also meaningful for day-to-day peace of mind.
You may want to skip it if you need surge protection for sensitive gear, expect higher USB power capacity than 5V 2.4A total, or need a power strip with long, flexible positioning for a large room.
In short: it’s a solid “laptop + phone/tablet + lamp” type of strip, and the cube shape looks like it was made for clutter-prone desks. Just keep its USB limits and the non-surge note in view when you’re deciding.
