Surge Protector Power Strip with USB C Ports - 10ft Braided Cord

In this review of the AUOPLUS surge protector power strip, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, well-built power strip for home, office, and dorm use that balances convenience and protection. The reviewer finds the combination of five widely spaced AC outlets and three USB chargers, including a USB-C port, makes it a versatile charging hub. With a 10 ft braided cord and a right-angle flat plug, this strip solves common placement problems while the built-in overload and 1050J surge protection give reasonable peace of mind for everyday electronics.

Key Features

• Five AC outlets: Widely spaced outlets let you plug in bulky adapters and multiple devices without blocking neighboring sockets.
• Three USB chargers: Two USB-A ports and one USB-C port provide shared 5V/3.1A output so phones, tablets, and small devices can charge together.
• USB-C fast charging: Smart IC technology optimizes current for connected devices so compatible phones and tablets charge efficiently.
• 10 ft braided cord with flat plug: The long, durable braided extension cord and right-angle flat plug make it easy to place behind furniture or by a nightstand.
• Surge and overload protection: Built-in 1050 joules of surge suppression and an overload switch/circuit breaker help protect connected equipment from spikes and faults.
• Mountable design: The power strip can be fixed in place for tidy installs in shared workspaces or entertainment centers.

Who It's For

This power strip is well suited to people who need a compact, multi-outlet solution with modern USB convenience: students in dorms, home office workers with multiple chargers, and living rooms that host gaming consoles and streaming devices. The long 10 ft cord and flat plug make it easy to reach distant outlets and tuck behind furniture.

Those who require heavy-duty industrial surge protection or very high-power appliances should look for specialized solutions; the strip is rated to 1250W/10A and is intended for everyday electronics rather than high-current heaters or large appliances.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Widely spaced AC outlets accommodate bulky adapters without blocking neighbors.
• The USB-C plus USB-A combination covers modern devices and legacy chargers simultaneously.
• Durable 10 ft braided cord and right-angle flat plug improve placement flexibility.
• Built-in 1050J surge suppression and overload protection add a layer of safety for consumer electronics.

Cons

• The strip is designed for typical electronics and is limited to 1250W/10A, so it is not suited for very high-power appliances.
• USB output is capped at a total of 5V/3.1A, which may not deliver maximum fast charging for some high-wattage laptops.
