Description
This HANYCONY surge protector power strip is the 8-outlet, 4-USB model with a 5 ft braided cord, aimed at desks where the wall socket sits behind a cabinet. It turns one outlet into a central charging station for a laptop, monitor, lamp and phone.
What you get with the HANYCONY strip
The listing describes 8 AC outlets spaced 2.2 inches apart, two USB-C and two USB-A ports, surge protection rated at a minimum of 1080 joules, a lighted switch, a built-in circuit breaker, and a flat right-angle plug that sits close to the wall. Keyhole slots allow mounting under a desk.
Getting value from the HANYCONY strip
Mount it under a standing desk so cables move with the frame, place it on a dorm desk, or run it behind a TV stand where a bulky plug would push furniture away from the wall.
The USB ports are handy for phones and earbuds, but a big laptop will charge faster from its own adapter plugged into an AC outlet.
Pre-purchase check: uSB output modest for laptops
Check that the 5 ft cord reaches your outlet and that bulky adapters fit side by side. Never daisy-chain power strips, and replace surge protectors after a major surge.
Alternatives to the HANYCONY strip
Compact cubes with fewer outlets suit travel, while higher-rated strips suit home-theatre setups.
