Surge Protector Power Strip, 5-Foot Cord

How to use it

The flat plug is just 0.35 inches thick, so this surge protector is designed to sit closer to a wall than a bulky plug. That can help when a bed, couch, or desk leaves little room behind it.

Its 5-foot cord gives you some reach from an outlet to a nightstand or workstation. The strip has 8 AC outlets and 6 USB ports, putting several charging points in one place.

A soft-glow indicator is intended to be less distracting in a bedroom than a bright status light. Would that make a difference on a nightstand? It may, especially if visible lights bother you while you sleep.

The 1.3-inch spacing between AC outlets is intended to leave room for larger adapters. You can also mount the strip vertically or horizontally using its keyhole slots, such as beneath a desk or along a baseboard. Without having tried it, the practical appeal is clear: it combines outlet access, USB charging, and a low-profile plug in a single setup.

Pros

• Plenty of connection points: Eight AC outlets plus four USB-A and two USB-C ports can accommodate a mix of household devices without dedicating a separate charger to every USB device.
• Useful placement options: The flat plug and 5-foot cord suit tight spaces, while the mounting slots offer an alternative to leaving the strip loose on a desk or floor.
• Basic protection and reset features: It lists 900J surge protection and a press-to-reset breaker. If the breaker trips, the stated reset method is to press it back on.
• Subtle status light: The soft-glow indicator may be preferable near a bed or in a dim room.

The USB output is rated at 17W total, with USB-C up to 5V/3A and USB-A up to 5V/2.4A. That is shared charging capacity, not a promise of high-speed charging for several devices at once. If your priority is fast charging, a dedicated higher-output charger is a different approach and may suit you better. Worth considering if you want one strip for everyday electronics and need AC and USB connections close at hand. It’s not for you if your setup depends on higher USB charging power or a cord longer than 5 feet.

The 15A/1875W rating describes the strip’s stated electrical capacity, it does not mean every outlet can be used for high-draw appliances without regard to the device’s requirements. The listing mentions appliances such as space heaters, but this model’s strongest case is organizing everyday electronics and charging points—not replacing careful load checks or a purpose-built solution for demanding equipment.

Should you buy it?

Choose this strip if you need several AC outlets, a handful of USB ports, and a plug that can tuck behind furniture. For example, it could sit beside a bed with a lamp in an AC outlet and a phone connected by USB, while leaving other outlets available for nearby devices. The mounting slots also make sense if you would rather secure a strip beneath a desk than keep it on the floor.

The tradeoff is that its USB output tops out at 17W across the ports, and the cord is 5 feet long. Those limits matter more than the outlet count if you charge power-hungry devices or need to reach farther across a room. Buy it for a compact, multi-device charging spot with surge protection, choose a different setup if your main requirement is faster USB charging or more reach.
