The FDTEK Power Strip is a compact, space-optimized unit designed to handle the various power bricks and adapters used in modern homes. It provides four AC outlets and three USB ports (including one USB-C) in a square layout. The housing is made from fire-retardant materials, and the internal components are designed to maintain a secure grip on your plugs even after long-term use.
This unit is built without surge protection, which is a specific requirement for use on most cruise ships and makes it a versatile option for international travel. The 5-foot cord features a 45-degree flat plug, which allows furniture to sit flush against the wall. The back of the unit also includes keyhole slots, giving you the option to mount it to a wall or the side of a desk for better organization.
Usage Considerations
- Device Capacity: The unit has a total load limit of 1250W; it is designed for electronics and should not be used with high-wattage appliances like hair dryers.
- USB Sharing: The 3.1A USB output is shared across all three ports, so charging three devices at once will be slower than charging just one.
- USB-C Charging: The USB-C port provides a standard 5V charge and is not designed for high-speed Power Delivery to laptops.
The 14AWG power cord is built for durability and safety but is relatively stiff, which may be a factor to consider if you are packing it for ultra-light travel. For stationary use on a desk, this stiffness helps the cord stay in place once you have routed it behind your furniture.
If you need a travel-friendly strip that does include some surge protection for your devices, the One Beat 490J Power Strip is a similar compact alternative.
