White Recessed Power Strip with 45W USB C Port - Desk Outlet

In this review of the CCCEI recessed power strip, the bottom line is simple: it is aimed at people who want a clean, built-in charging solution for a nightstand or end table and need a true laptop-capable USB-C port. The reviewer found the unit useful for hiding cords and consolidating charging in furniture, with the standout feature being the 45W PD USB-C port that can charge a laptop and the pair of QC 3.0 USB-A ports for fast phone charging. Installation requires a 4.9in by 1.7in desk hole and about 1.45in of clearance below, so a modest level of DIY confidence is helpful.

Key Features

• 45W PD USB-C: Provides laptop-capable power and fast charging for modern USB-C devices so you can top up a notebook or tablet from the built-in port.
• Dual QC 3.0 USB-A ports: Two fast-charging USB-A ports supply up to 12V/3A on compatible devices for quicker phone and accessory charging.
• Two AC outlets: Includes 2 grounded three-prong outlets for lamps or other bedside electronics without needing extra adapters.
• Recessed furniture mounting: Designed to sit flush in a nightstand or end table with a flat profile and specified cut size for a neat, built-in look.
• Long flat plug cord: Ships with a 6 ft 45 degree flat plug extension cord so the strip reaches a wall outlet without bending behind furniture.
• Safety certifications: ETL listed with a fire-resistant shell and internal protections for safer continuous use near bedding and furniture.

Who It's For

This recessed power strip is best for homeowners and renters who want a tidy, integrated charging station in a nightstand, end table, or desk hole and who own at least one USB-C device that benefits from PD charging. It suits people comfortable measuring and cutting a 4.9in by 1.7in opening and leaving roughly 1.45in clearance below the tabletop.

It may not be ideal for users who need surge protection claims beyond ETL listing or who prefer plug-and-play bedside cubes without any installation. Also, if you need more than two AC outlets or many simultaneous high-power USB streams, consider a larger power hub.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact recessed design keeps cords out of sight and looks professional in furniture.

• Two QC 3.0 USB-A ports give flexible fast charging for phones and accessories.
• ETL listing and fire-resistant shell add important safety reassurance for bedside use.

Cons

• Some users report intermittent USB port failures, so long-term reliability appears mixed and worth checking on arrival.
• Requires a specific cutout and clearance, so installation is not fully tool-free for everyone.
