Belkin 6-Outlet Power Cube w 3 USB-A Ports - Compact Charging Hub

In this review the Belkin 6-Outlet Power Cube is evaluated as a compact, travel-friendly charging hub for people who need multiple plugs without a tangle of cords. The bottom line: it is ideal for travelers, dorm rooms, and small desks because the cube design condenses six charging points into a roughly 2.5 in cube while adding a 5 ft cable that reaches behind furniture or to inconvenient wall sockets. The review focuses on real-world use, build considerations, and whether the integrated USB-A ports match common device charging needs.

Key Features

• Compact cube design: The roughly 2.5 in cube footprint provides six charging points in a small package that reduces desktop clutter.
• Six total outlets: Three AC outlets plus three USB-A ports let you power a mix of laptop adapters and mobile devices at once without swapping cords.
• 5 ft cord: The included 5 ft cable gives flexible placement so the cube can sit where you can reach it instead of directly at the wall.
• 18W USB output: The three USB-A ports share up to 18W total, making them suitable for phones and tablets at typical charging speeds.
• Sturdy brand warranty: The two-year warranty offers some peace of mind if the unit fails within the early ownership period.

Who It's For

The Power Cube is best for travelers, business people, and students who need a compact multi-outlet solution for hotel rooms, airports, or small living spaces. Its mix of AC and USB-A ports is convenient for charging a phone, tablet, and accessory simultaneously while keeping a small footprint.

Shoppers who want the highest USB charging speeds or who need heavy-duty surge protection should look elsewhere; the cube is designed for convenience and basic power distribution rather than advanced surge features or high-watt USB-C PPS charging for power-hungry laptops.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact, space-saving design that significantly reduces outlet clutter on a desk or in a hotel room.
• Three AC outlets plus three USB-A ports let multiple devices charge at once without adapters.
• 5 ft cord improves placement flexibility behind furniture and in hard-to-reach outlets.
• Two-year warranty adds support confidence for everyday use.

Cons

• Build quality reports are mixed, so durability may vary between units in regular travel use.
• USB output is shared at 18W total and uses USB-A only, so it is not ideal for the fastest laptop charging or USB-C only devices without an adapter.

Our Verdict

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I charge a laptop from the USB ports?
The USB-A ports provide a shared 18W output and are suitable for phones and tablets, but they are not intended for full-speed charging of most USB-C laptops without a compatible higher-watt USB-C power source.

Is the cube good for travel?
Yes, the compact cube and 5 ft cord make it practical for hotel rooms and airports, though build longevity can vary with frequent packing and heavy use.

Does it include surge protection?
The product is presented as a power cube for charging convenience and does not emphasize heavy-duty surge protection, so buyers needing robust surge features should choose a dedicated surge protector.
