Philips 4-Outlet Surge Protector with 2 USB, 4ft

This slim, white power strip blends a flat, space-saving plug and a designer braided 4-foot cord with 720 joules of surge protection and automatic shutdown technology. It supplies four grounded AC outlets plus two 2.4A USB ports, making it practical for home offices, entertainment centers, and bedside charging stations. The unit’s integrated circuit breaker offers overload protection, while keyhole slots let you mount it under a desk or behind furniture for a tidy setup.

How does this power strip protect my electronics from power spikes?

The Philips surge protector uses 720 joules of energy absorption to reduce the impact of voltage surges and spikes on connected devices. When the internal protection components have reached the end of their effective life, the automatic shutdown feature stops delivering power to prevent unsafe conditions.

• 720 joules surge absorption rating
• Integrated circuit breaker for overload protection
• Automatic shutdown when surge protection expires
• $75,000 connected equipment warranty (terms apply)

Will the USB ports charge my phone and tablet quickly?

The strip includes two standard USB ports that together deliver up to 2.4 amps of charging current, suitable for most phones, tablets and small USB devices. It’s designed for everyday charging rather than fast-charge protocols specific to certain phones, so charging times vary by device.

• Two USB ports with combined 2.4A output
• Works with smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and accessories
• USB ports free up AC outlets for larger plugs

How does the cord, plug and mounting design help with installation?

The 4-foot braided cord gives extra reach while resisting tangles and adding a cleaner look than standard cords. The flat plug design sits closer to the wall, creating clearance behind furniture and reducing the chance of accidental disconnection. Built-in keyhole slots let you mount the strip on a wall, under a desk, or beneath a cabinet for a neat, out-of-the-way power source.

• 4 ft braided cable for flexibility and tangle resistance
• Low-profile flat plug saves space behind furniture
• Keyhole slots for horizontal or vertical mounting

What safety and durability features should I expect for long-term use?

The Philips unit combines a durable braided cord and a protective casing with internal safety measures to help guard against overloads and worn-out surge components. When surge protection can no longer be guaranteed, the automatic shutdown prevents continued power delivery until the strip is replaced.

• Durable braided cord reduces wear and tangling
• Integrated circuit breaker helps prevent overloads
• Automatic power cutoff once surge capacity is expended

Who is this for: The Philips 4 Outlet Power Strip with 2 USB Ports is ideal for anyone who needs a compact, attractive charging station with basic surge protection—home office workers, students, gamers, and living-room media setups. It’s best when you want to expand one outlet into multiple grounded AC sockets plus USB charging while keeping cords tidy and protected behind desks, sofas, or entertainment centers.
