What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing conflicts on USB-C count: its main feature text and specifications state four Type-C ports and two USB-A ports, while the detailed description states two Type-C and four USB-A. It also gives cable options of 2 or 4 metres but separately claims a 2-metre cord. Confirm the selected version's port layout and cable length before buying. The stated 18W is shared across USB ports, and the listing says USB-C does not support devices needing 9V to 22V charging.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

People needing several AC sockets and USB charging points for a desk or home workspace.
Buyers charging phones, tablets or other USB devices that accept 5V charging.

Less suited to

People who need USB-C charging for a MacBook or another device requiring 9V to 22V.
Buyers who need a confirmed cable length or USB port arrangement without checking the selected listing.

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the top two star categories, but a smaller low-rating share means the figures alone cannot explain owners’ experiences. No specific customer comments are available here, so they do not establish how the USB output, switches or overload protection perform in use.

Frequently asked questions

How many USB ports does this extension tower have?

The product details state six USB ports: two USB-C and four USB-A. However, the main feature text reverses those counts, so check the selected listing version before ordering.

What is the cable length?

The listing gives cable length options of 2 metres and 4 metres, while other copy describes a 2-metre cord. Confirm the cable length for the selected version.
