This HANYCONY unit is a surge protector power strip for home office desks that have outgrown a single wall socket. It combines eight AC outlets with four USB ports, two of them USB-C, on a 5 ft braided cord.

Key features of the HANYCONY 8-outlet strip

Surge protection is rated at 1080 joules. The flat plug hugs the wall so furniture can sit close, and keyhole slots allow wall mounting. The braided cord is more flexible than stiff plastic and easier to route along a desk leg.

Best situations for the HANYCONY 8-outlet strip

A typical setup: laptop charger, monitor, desk lamp, router and webcam light in the AC sockets, with phone, earbuds and a tablet on the USB ports. It also works as a dorm-room or rental-apartment charging hub.

Mounting it under the desk keeps cables off the floor and stops the strip from being kicked.

Total up the devices you will connect and never run heaters or other high-draw appliances from a strip. Surge protectors degrade after big spikes, so plan to replace an old one every few years.
