Electrical strips and USB charging stations are quite common. What’s not common is a power block that does all of this and interfaces with around-the-World electrical voltages and sockets.
The BAVIN PC588 5.4 amp power block is a unique power system that provides 3 AC surge protected power outlets and 6 USB charging ports. Included in this layout is an on/off power switch.
Each of the 3 AC power outlets are configured to accept most electrical power plugs, male or cable end, from around the World (US/UK/AU/EU
WORLD-WIDE OUTLET CHART
No need for individual plug adapters to mate with your various appliances. In addition, six smart fast charging (3.4 amp) USB ports in two groups of three, identify charging current required by electronic devices. A five-foot power cord with a US plug is hard wired into the unit. Unfortunately, you will need a plug adapter that matches the outlet in the country where being used. Please note, this unit does not convert voltages, it simply provides plug adaptation!
I found the BAVIN POWER BLOCK PC588 to be most convenient and practical, especially its compact size of 6.10” L x 3.94” W x 1.2” D and 12.2 ounces.
MSRP: $17.99
