Black Power Strip 6 Outlet Surge Protector with USB-C PD 20W - 6ft

In this review of the Black Power Strip, the verdict is straightforward: this unit is for anyone who needs a compact, well protected hub for a mix of laptops, phones and desktop electronics. The reviewer found the 6 grounded AC outlets plus dual USB ports (including a PD 20W USB-C) and a 1780 joules surge rating make it a reliable choice for home, dormitory or office use, with the built-in smart IC and integrated circuit breaker providing practical safety for connected devices.

Key Features

• 6 AC Outlets: Six grounded outlets let multiple large plugs and adapters be used without blocking adjacent sockets thanks to the widely spaced layout.
• USB-C PD 20W and USB-A: The USB-C PD 20W port and smart USB-A port share charging intelligently to deliver fast charging up to the strip's limits for phones and tablets.
• 1780 Joules Surge Protection: A MOV and GDT based suppressor with a minimum 1780 joules rating helps protect electronics from spikes, surges and lightning-induced transients.
• Integrated Circuit Breaker: Built-in overload protection trips and disconnects power if external loads exceed the 1800W/15A rating, preventing further damage until reset.
• Right Angle Flat Plug and Mountable Body: The flat plug saves space behind furniture and four mounting holes allow wall or under-desk installation for tidy cable management.

Who It's For

The Black Power Strip is aimed at students, apartment dwellers and home office users who need to run several devices safely from one location, especially where outlet spacing and a low-profile plug matter. The combination of wide outlets and a flat right angle plug makes it especially useful behind entertainment centers, desks and beds where space is tight.

Users who require very high power loads for continuous heavy appliances should look elsewhere, since the strip is rated to 1800W/15A and will trip its protection if that limit is exceeded. Also, those needing more than a single PD port for high-wattage laptop charging may prefer a dedicated charger.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Robust surge protection with 1780 joules and multiple suppression components for improved safety.
• Convenient mix of six AC outlets and two USB ports including a PD 20W USB-C for fast device charging.
• Practical design features like a flat right angle plug, 6 ft 14 AWG cord and mounting holes for flexible placement.

Cons

• Limited to 1800W/15A total output, so it is not suitable for powering many high-draw appliances simultaneously.
