18 Outlets Surge Protector Power Strip - Heavy Duty 6 ft Cord

In this review of the 18 Outlets Surge Protector Power Strip, the bottom line is simple: it is for anyone who needs to power and protect a large cluster of devices without sacrificing USB charging. The unit stands out for offering 18 widely spaced AC outlets plus four USB ports on a single, heavy duty extension with a 6 ft flat plug cord and a 2100 joules surge module. For a busy computer desk, entertainment center, or workbench where many plugs and reliable surge protection are required, this power strip balances capacity, safety features, and cord flexibility.

Key Features

• 18 AC outlets: Plenty of room to plug in multiple chargers and bulky adapters without blocking adjacent sockets, which is useful for a desktop or AV setup.
• 4 USB ports: The integrated USB outputs deliver a combined DC 5V/3.0A so phones, tablets, and peripherals can charge without occupying AC outlets.
• 2100 joules surge protection: A three-level surge circuit using TVS, MOV and GDT provides fast energy absorption to protect sensitive electronics from spikes.
• 6 ft flat plug cord: The right-angled flat plug and 6 ft cable offer flexible placement behind furniture and better fit against walls.
• Heavy duty construction: Rated for 100-240VAC and 15A/1875W with an environmental PC shell and flame resistance for longer life and safety.
• Overload protection and ETL listing: The integrated over current switch limits working current and the ETL certification covers major components for safer everyday use.

Who It's For

This power strip is best for users with many devices: gamers with consoles and accessories, small office desks hosting multiple monitors and chargers, and living room media centers where space for adapters is at a premium. The wide outlet spacing is particularly beneficial where several bulky power bricks are used.

It is less suited for single-device use where a compact surge bar or an outlet with only a couple of plugs would be simpler and less costly. Also, environments that require hardwired or industrial-grade power distribution beyond 15A/1875W should look for commercial solutions.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Large capacity with 18 outlets keeps adapters separated and usable at the same time.
• Built-in USB ports free up AC sockets and handle common mobile charging needs.
• Robust surge protection with 2100 joules and a three-level circuit for better defense against spikes.
• 6 ft flat right-angled cord and cable ties make placement and cable management easier.

Cons

• At 11.7 in, the unit is sizable and may be overkill for minimal setups or travel packing.
• Total USB output is limited to 3.0A combined, so fast charging multiple large tablets simultaneously is not supported.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much surge protection does it provide?
The strip offers 2100 joules of energy absorption using a three-level protection circuit (TVS, MOV, GDT) to reduce damage from voltage spikes.

Can I charge multiple tablets from the USB ports?
The four USB ports share a total output of 5V/3.0A, so they comfortably charge phones and small devices but will not provide high-speed charging for several large tablets at once.

Is the cord suitable for tight spaces behind furniture?
Yes, the 6 ft right-angled flat plug is designed to sit close to walls and the included reusable cable ties help keep the cord organized.
