Surge Protector Power Strip with USB Ports - 6FT Cord, Flat Plug

Our review of this surge protector power strip finds it best suited for home and small office users who need to power multiple devices safely and tidily. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of 980J surge protection and a practical layout that supports up to eight devices at once - six AC outlets plus two USB-A ports - all fed through a 6ft braided cord with a right-angled flat plug that fits behind furniture without strain.

Key Features

• Six AC outlets: The layout provides space to plug in multiple adapters and devices without crowding, supporting up to 125V/15A/1875W of total load for typical home electronics.
• Two USB-A ports: Built-in USB charging lets you power phones, tablets, or accessories directly without needing separate adapters, bringing the total simultaneous device support to eight.
• 980J surge protection: Three-line surge suppression (line-neutral, line-ground, neutral-ground) helps guard gear from spikes, lightning-induced surges, and electrical fluctuations.
• 6ft braided cord with flat plug: The 6ft 14-gauge extension and 45 flat plug make it easier to reach distant outlets and tuck the plug under furniture for a neater setup.
• Wall mountable: Two screw-mounting tabs allow the strip to be secured to a wall or workbench, keeping cables organized and off work surfaces.
• Fire-retardant casing: A PC case rated flame class V-0 and one-piece copper contacts improve long-term safety and conductivity.

Who It's For

This power strip is aimed at people who need a compact, reliable way to power a cluster of devices in a home office, living room, or garage - especially where outlet access is limited and a flat plug is useful. The mix of AC outlets and USB ports makes it practical for desks with computers, monitors, chargers, and lamps.

It is not meant as a permanent substitute for dedicated whole-home surge protection or for very high-draw appliances. Users with professional AV racks or large power-hungry tools should look for hardwired surge solutions or industrial-grade strips designed for heavier loads.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Robust 980J surge protection with indicator lights for clear status checking.

• Right-angled flat plug and 6ft braided cord make placement behind furniture much easier.
• Wall-mount tabs and fire-retardant casing add to safety and installation flexibility.

Cons

• USB ports provide a combined 3.1A which is suitable for phones and small tablets but not for fast-charging larger tablets or laptops.
• While protected, the 980J rating is moderate compared with some higher-joule commercial surge protectors.

Our Verdict

This surge protector power strip is a sensible, affordable pick for most home and small office setups because it balances surge protection, practical outlet count, and a space-saving flat plug. It offers good value for anyone who needs tidy, safer power distribution for multiple devices but is not intended for heavy industrial loads or as a replacement for whole-home surge systems.
