機能一覧
This function protects your connected electronic devices from sudden, damaging power surges, such as those caused by lightning strikes or fluctuations in the electrical grid. It can be used whenever your valuable electronics are plugged into the power strip, safeguarding them against unexpected electrical spikes. The benefit is preventing irreversible damage to sensitive equipment like computers, televisions, and gaming consoles, thereby extending their lifespan and saving you from costly repairs or replacements.
Equipped with an 1800J internal surge protector, this power strip safeguards your valuable electronics from sudden power surges, lightning strikes, and voltage fluctuations. This feature automatically shuts down power in the event of an overwhelming surge, preventing damage to connected devices and ensuring their longevity. It provides essential protection for sensitive equipment like computers, TVs, and gaming consoles, offering peace of mind against unexpected electrical incidents.
This function allows you to independently turn the power on or off for each individual outlet on the strip, without affecting other devices plugged into the same strip. It is useful when you want to power down specific devices (like a printer or a lamp) without unplugging them or powering off other electronics. This offers the benefit of saving standby electricity consumption, extending the life of your devices, and providing convenient control over your plugged-in appliances.
This power strip features a single master on/off switch that controls power to all outlets simultaneously. It does not include individual switches for each AC outlet, meaning you cannot power down specific devices without affecting others plugged into the same strip. While this simplifies operation, it lacks the granular control and energy-saving benefits of individual outlet switching.
This function integrates dedicated USB ports directly onto the power strip, allowing you to charge smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and other USB-powered devices without needing a separate wall adapter. It is incredibly convenient when you have multiple mobile devices to charge and want to keep your AC outlets free for larger appliances. The main benefit is decluttering your charging area, freeing up wall outlets, and providing a centralized, efficient charging solution for your portable electronics.
The power strip includes 4 smart USB ports (2 USB-A and 2 USB-C) with a total output of 5V/3.4A. Each USB-A port offers a maximum of 3.1A, and each USB-C port offers a maximum of 3.4A, with smart technology detecting devices for optimal charging speed. This allows for convenient charging of multiple mobile devices like phones, tablets, and earphones without needing separate wall adapters, helping to declutter your charging area and free up AC outlets.
This function automatically shuts off power to all connected devices if the total electrical load (the amount of power being drawn) exceeds the power strip's safe capacity. It is critical for safety, preventing the power strip from overheating and potentially causing a fire or damage to connected electronics, especially if multiple high-power devices are plugged in simultaneously. The benefit is enhanced safety, protecting both your valuable equipment and your home from potential electrical hazards.
This device is built with comprehensive safety features, including overload protection, short-circuit protection, and over-current protection. The dependable on/off switch automatically disconnects power if the total electrical load exceeds safe limits, preventing overheating and potential damage to both the power strip and your valuable devices. This critical safety mechanism ensures a secure charging environment and protects against electrical hazards.
This function incorporates protective covers or shutters over the electrical outlets that prevent small objects, such as fingers or paper clips, from being accidentally inserted into the live electrical slots. It is especially important for households with young children or curious pets. The primary benefit is providing a crucial layer of safety, significantly reducing the risk of electrical shock and offering peace of mind to parents and caregivers.
The product information does not explicitly mention the presence of child safety shutters on the AC outlets. While it includes other safety features like overload protection, the absence of specific mention of shutters means it may not offer this additional layer of protection against accidental insertion of objects into live electrical slots, which is an important consideration for households with young children.
This function features outlets that can individually swivel or rotate, allowing you to adjust their angle. It is particularly useful when you need to plug in bulky power adapters or 'wall warts' that would otherwise block adjacent outlets on a standard power strip. The benefit is maximizing the usable number of outlets, ensuring that all available ports can be utilized efficiently, even with awkwardly shaped plugs.
This power strip features a vertical tower design with widely spaced AC outlets, which inherently helps accommodate bulky power adapters without blocking adjacent ports. Therefore, it does not require or include a rotating outlet function. The fixed, well-distributed outlets ensure that all 12 AC ports can be utilized efficiently, even with larger plugs, contributing to an organized and clutter-free setup.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The Pluackg Tower Power Strip offers a practical and space-saving solution for managing multiple devices in a compact area. Its vertical design and flat plug are significant advantages for decluttering. While it provides a good number of AC outlets and USB ports for its price range, the USB charging capabilities are somewhat limited with a total output of 3.4A across all four ports and no explicit Power Delivery (PD) support, which might be a performance limitation for faster charging of modern devices. The 1800J surge protection is adequate for general use but lower than some higher-end models. As an emerging brand, long-term durability and warranty support are less established, positioning it as a value-oriented option for everyday charging needs rather than heavy-duty or professional applications. It is expected to last for a typical usage period of a few years with proper care.
