Recessed Power Strip Flat Plug 5-in-1 - 45W Fast Charging

In this review the recessed HHSOET 5-in-1 power strip is evaluated as a compact furniture outlet for desks, islands and workstations; the single biggest reason to buy is that it combines two AC plugs plus a QC 3.0 USB-A and PD 3.0 USB-C into a recessed module that keeps cords off the floor and charges larger devices quickly. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable cutting a desk hole, and the 10 ft power cord and 45 degree flat plug make it useful in tight spaces behind furniture.

Key Features

• 45W fast charging: The PD 3.0 USB-C port provides up to 45W for laptops and tablets, while the QC 3.0 USB-A offers up to 36W for phones and accessories, enabling faster top-ups than standard USB outlets.
• Dual AC outlets: Two grounded outlets handle common desk devices with a 10 amp / 125 volt / 1250W output rating so small power tools, monitors or lamps can run from the same unit.
• Recessed furniture design: The module drops into a desk hole (L 3.89' x W 1.61') to hide wiring and cover imperfect cuts with its larger top flange for a cleaner surface installation.
• Space-saving flat plug: The 45 degree flat plug keeps the unit close to walls and furniture, leaving room for other plugs and reducing strain behind cabinets or benches.
• Long cord and mounting hardware: The supplied 10 ft power cord and two mounting screws let you place and secure the strip under or behind work surfaces without extra parts.

Who It's For

The recessed strip is ideal for home office users, makers and anyone fitting a small charging station into a desk, island or workbench who needs a mix of AC and fast USB power without visible clutter; its PD 45W output makes it especially useful for laptop charging at a workstation. It also suits installers who want a low-profile, recessed outlet with a long cord and a flat plug that fits tight layouts.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need surge protection or industrial-grade waterproofing, and people unwilling to cut into furniture or lacking 1.53 in of clearance under the surface, since the product requires a recessed mount for best results.
