Power Tower Strip with 12 AC Outlets

The 12 widely spaced AC outlets are the defining feature here: they’re designed to make room for bulky adapters that can crowd a standard power strip. This tower also combines three USB-C ports, including a dedicated 20W PD port, with two USB-A ports, so phones and smaller devices can share one charging station. Its 6-foot cord and 45-degree flat plug offer more placement flexibility behind furniture or along a desk. The trade-off is that the listed USB charging details specify 20W for only one port, not the output of the other USB ports.

Technical details

The tower provides 12 AC outlets, three USB-C ports, and two USB-A ports, for a listed total of 17 devices. One USB-C port is dedicated to 20W Power Delivery charging. The AC outlets are spaced 1.5 inches apart to help accommodate larger plugs without blocking neighboring sockets. A 6-foot flat power cord ends in a slim 45-degree plug, which can fit more easily in tight spaces behind a desk or piece of furniture.

For protection, the product description lists 1800 joules of surge protection, overload protection, and flame-retardant housing. It also describes a weighted, non-slip base intended to help keep the tower steady. One useful detail to keep in mind: the available information doesn’t state a total power rating or the output of the remaining USB ports, so it doesn’t answer every planning question for a setup with several demanding devices.

Getting the most from it

Think of this as a shared charging and outlet hub rather than a way to increase the capacity of a circuit. It can help consolidate a desk setup with a laptop, lamp, printer, phone, and smaller USB devices, while the vertical layout keeps the connections gathered in one spot. In a dorm room, for example, the spaced outlets may be handy when a charger block would otherwise cover the next socket. A solid pick if your main frustration is outlet crowding and you want USB charging built into the same unit.

The dedicated 20W USB-C PD port is the clearest choice for a compatible device when you want the specified fast-charging connection. The other USB ports can handle items such as earbuds, a smartwatch, or a power bank, but their individual charging rates aren’t provided. It might not be a great match if your buying decision depends on knowing the exact output available to every device or the total supported load.

Usage tips

Place the tower where its base can sit flat, then route the cord so it isn’t pulled tight behind furniture. Before connecting a collection of equipment, consider what will be plugged in and use the device information—not the outlet count alone—to judge whether the setup is appropriate. The tall format can free up a crowded desk surface, but it still needs a stable spot on the floor or work area. For a tighter gap behind furniture, the flat plug may help, the tower itself is better suited to a visible, accessible place where you can reach its outlets.

Questions before you buy

How many devices can it connect at once? The product lists 12 AC outlets and five USB ports, or 17 connection points in total. Actual suitability depends on the devices and their power requirements.

Does it include USB-C Power Delivery? Yes. One USB-C port is specified as a dedicated 20W PD port. The listed details don’t give output figures for the other USB ports.

What protection features are listed? The description specifies 1800-joule surge protection, overload protection, and flame-retardant housing. Those features don’t replace checking the power requirements of connected equipment.

Is it worth it?

This power tower makes most sense when you need many accessible outlets, have adapters that block neighboring sockets, and also want a few USB connections in the same place. Compared with a basic extension strip, its tower layout and widely spaced outlets address clutter more directly, a simpler strip may suit a setup with only a few plugs and no need for built-in USB. The 20W PD port is a useful defined feature, but the missing output details for the other USB ports and total power rating matter if you’re planning a more demanding workstation. Choose it for outlet organization and mixed everyday charging, not on the assumption that all 17 connections can support any combination of devices.
