What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Cable length is contradictory: the title and specification say 10 Metres, while feature and description text say 2M. Switch descriptions also differ, referring to four independent switches by row in one place and individual switches on each outlet elsewhere. The USB output is described as both 5V/3.4A and 17W, and the listing does not clarify USB port types. Confirm the selected model's cable length, switch layout and USB details before purchase.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Households or desk setups needing several AC outlets and USB charging connections in one tower.
- Buyers who value separate outlet controls and a compact way to organise connected cables.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need a confirmed cable length before ordering, unless they can verify whether the selected unit has a 10-metre or 2-metre lead.
- Anyone relying on a particular USB connector type or exact switch arrangement without confirming those details.

Customer feedback reports appreciation for the compact size, cable tidiness, USB ports and individual controls, while durability feedback is mixed, including reports of units failing within weeks. This is relevant for a tower intended to keep several devices together, but it does not establish the cause or frequency of failures. The reported interest in separate controls should also be weighed against the listing's inconsistent descriptions of the switch layout.
Positive themes
- Customers appreciate the compact size, cable organisation, USB ports and individual controls.
Mixed feedback
- Durability feedback is mixed, with some customers describing the unit as robust and others reporting failures within weeks.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the cable?
The listing is inconsistent. The title and item-length field say 10 Metres, while feature and product-description text state 2M. Check the selected listing before ordering.
How many sockets and USB ports does it have?
The title and feature text specify 8 AC outlets and 4 USB ports, described together as 12 connection points.
What USB output is claimed?
The listing describes a combined USB output of 5V/3.4A and elsewhere gives a maximum of 17W. It does not clearly identify the USB port types.
