Introduction
Traditional flat power strips eat up desk space and leave bulky adapters fighting for room. The SMALLRT Power Strip Tower takes a vertical approach with 12 AC outlets plus 4 USB ports (including USB-C), making it a practical charging station for home offices, dorm rooms, and workstations.
Design and Build
This tower-style strip stands upright so large power bricks don’t block neighboring sockets. It comes with a 6.5 ft heavy-duty cord and a solid, compact body that sits neatly on a desk or floor. Four separate switches let you control different groups of outlets independently, which is handy for cutting power to idle devices.
Outlets and USB Charging
You get 12 standard AC outlets rated at 125V / 10A (1250W total). On the USB side there are 3 USB-A ports and 1 USB-C port with a combined output of 5V/3.4A (USB-A up to 2.4A each, USB-C up to 3A). It’s enough for phones, tablets, earbuds, and small accessories without needing extra wall chargers.
Safety and Everyday Use
Built-in overload, short-circuit, and over-current protection automatically cut power if something goes wrong. The vertical layout keeps cords organized, and the individual switches help save energy by turning off unused sections. Real-world use feels stable for computers, monitors, lamps, and charging multiple gadgets at once.
Who Should Buy This?
If your desk or dorm is short on outlets and you want a tidy, space-saving solution with USB charging built in, the SMALLRT tower is a strong budget pick. Ideal for students, remote workers, and anyone who needs more sockets without a messy horizontal strip.
