This Cable Matters 2-pack contains ETL-listed 6-outlet surge protector power strips with two USB-A charging ports and a 12-foot cord to protect and power multiple devices.

These power strips combine surge suppression, long reach, and convenient USB charging so you can extend one grounded outlet into multiple protected plugs for home or office electronics. Each unit is built to meet safety standards, provides a high power rating for demanding equipment, and includes features meant to simplify installation and daily use.

How much surge protection and safety does this strip offer?

Each power strip is ETL listed and provides 490 joules of surge suppression to reduce the risk of damage from spikes. A 15 amp circuit breaker helps prevent overloads, and the molded strain relief with heavy gauge wiring increases durability under frequent use.

• 490 Joules of surge suppression for transient protection
• 15 A, 125 VAC, 1875 W maximum continuous rating
• Built-in 15 Amp circuit breaker to guard against overloads
• 14 AWG internal wiring and molded strain relief for longevity

Can I charge phones and tablets directly from the strip?

Yes — each strip includes two USB-A ports (5V, 2.1A) positioned at the end of the housing for easy, adapter-free charging. These ports are intended for mobile devices and make it convenient to power phones, small tablets, and accessories without occupying AC outlets.

• Two USB-A charging ports integrated into the strip end
• 5V, 2.1A output per the USB ports for smartphones and accessories
• Keeps AC outlets free for bulkier plugs and power bricks
• USB placement designed for easy access while devices are connected

How does the 12-foot cord and mounting option improve placement?

The included 12-foot extension cord gives flexibility when the nearest wall outlet is far from your desk, entertainment center, or workbench. A mounting template makes it straightforward to secure the strip under desks, on walls, or behind furniture to keep cables organized and accessible.

• 12 ft long cord reaches distant outlets without extension adapters
• Mounting template included for wall or under-desk installation
• Flat housing and accessible outlets simplify cable routing
• On/off rocker switch lets you cut power to all connected devices

Will this handle higher-powered devices like printers or TVs?

Yes — the strip’s 15 A / 1875 W rating supports common high-power household and office electronics, including computers, monitors, printers, and many TVs. Still, avoid plugging in appliances or equipment that individually exceed the strip’s rated capacity.

• 15 A, 125 VAC rating suitable for computers and AV gear
• Supports simultaneous powering of multiple devices within rating
• Internal 14 AWG wiring helps maintain safe continuous loads
• Use the on/off switch to conserve energy when the strip isn’t in use
