Manufacturer description

The TESSAN 8 Outlet Surge Protector turns a single wall socket into an 11-device charging hub: 8 AC outlets plus 3 USB ports, one of them USB C. The 3-sided outlet layout spaces receptacles 1.65 inches apart, which means you can seat eight bulky wall-wart plugs at once without any of them crowding a neighbor. On the charging side, the two USB A ports deliver 2.4A and the USB C port delivers 3A, with device detection that matches output to whatever phone, tablet, or pair of earbuds you connect. TESSAN includes a mounting screw so the unit anchors to your duplex outlet instead of drifting out…
