Manufacturer description

The Anker 341 Power Strip solves the nightstand and desk-corner outlet shortage with 11 charging points in a footprint roughly the size of a smartphone. You get 8 AC outlets spread across three sides, 2 USB-A ports, and a 20W USB-C port that charges a phone at high speed without occupying an AC slot. The 45-degree flat plug sits close to the wall, so a bed frame, desk, or TV stand can be pushed back without pinching the 5 ft cord. Two screws in the box let you mount it under a desk or behind a headboard instead of leaving it loose on the floor. At 15.3 oz and 4.5 x 3.6 x 1.6 in, it travels…

Frequently Asked Questions

How many devices can the Anker 341 power strip charge at once?

Eleven. It has 8 AC outlets, 2 USB-A ports, and 1 USB-C port, so a full room of devices can run off one wall socket.

How fast does the USB-C port charge a phone?

The USB-C port is rated at 20W, which is fast-charge speed for most phones and lets you skip a separate wall brick.

Is 2000J enough surge protection for a TV or PC?

2000J is a mid-to-high joule rating suited to home electronics, and Anker backs it with a connected equipment guarantee for the product's full service life.

How long is the cord and will the plug fit behind furniture?

The cord is 5 ft and ends in a 45-degree flat plug, so a nightstand, desk, or TV stand can sit close to the wall without bending the cable.

Can it be mounted instead of sitting on the floor?

Yes. Two screws are included for wall or under-desk mounting. At 4.5 x 3.6 x 1.6 in and 15.3 oz, it stays out of the way once mounted.
