GE UltraPro 8 Outlet Surge Protector with USB Charging

The GE UltraPro 8-Outlet Surge Protector is a compact power strip that protects up to eight devices while charging two USB devices and cutting power if protection is compromised. The GE UltraPro combines surge protection, charging convenience, and practical safety features in a single low-profile unit. With a 2160-joule rating, an integrated circuit breaker, and a 4-foot cord with a flat plug, it fits behind furniture and under desks while giving you room for bulky adapters. Two dedicated 2.1A USB ports let you power phones and tablets without needing separate wall chargers.

How much surge protection does this provide for my electronics?

This model delivers a 2160-joule protection rating, designed to absorb transient voltage spikes and divert excess energy away from connected equipment until the protector’s capacity is spent. When the internal protection expires, the automatic shutdown feature stops power to attached devices to prevent further damage.

• 2160 joules of surge absorption for multiple devices
• Protected indicator light shows active surge protection
• Automatic shutdown when protection is no longer effective
• Integrated circuit breaker for overload protection

Can I charge phones and tablets directly from the surge protector?

Yes — the UltraPro includes two USB ports rated at 2.1 amps total, providing enough current for most smartphones and many tablets. The USB dock removes the need for separate wall adapters and keeps charging gear organized alongside your other electronics.

• Two USB ports at 2.1A for direct device charging
• No extra wall adapters needed, freeing up outlets
• USB ports positioned for simple cable routing

Will this fit behind furniture and work with bulky plugs?

The 4-foot cord and space-saving flat plug help you reach distant wall receptacles and tuck the unit behind couches or entertainment centers. Three widely spaced outlets accommodate oversized power bricks so you don’t block neighboring sockets.

• 4' cord with flat plug for tight spaces
• Three extra-wide spaced outlets for large adapters
• Compact profile that fits behind furniture and TV stands

What safety features protect my home and devices?

GE built this surge protector with multiple safety measures including slide-to-close outlet covers, a grounded indicator light, and a resettable circuit breaker. These elements reduce shock risk, confirm proper grounding, and prevent overloads from damaging the strip or connected equipment.

• Slide-to-close safety covers keep unused outlets protected
• Ground indicator light confirms safe grounding at the receptacle
• Resettable integrated circuit breaker prevents overload damage

Who is this for? The GE UltraPro 8-Outlet Surge Protector suits anyone who needs a reliable, compact power hub for home or office — especially homes with entertainment centers, workstations, or crowded charging areas. It’s ideal for users who want to protect multiple devices (TVs, routers, game consoles, laptops) while keeping smartphone and tablet charging neat and accessible without extra adapters. If you need a mid-range surge protector with good joule protection, dedicated USB charging, and practical safety features, this GE unit is a solid choice.
