Desk Power Socket, Haiaoyyds Desk Power Strip with 3 UK Plugs, 2 USB C Ports, 2 USB A Ports, and 3M Cable, Desktop Plug Socket for Home Office, Black

Uniquely designed power strip that has proved extremely useful
This is a very well-constructed power strip that fits a use case I never though existed. It is extremely convenient to have power (3-pin, USB A and USB C) sockets right there on the desktop. However, there are one or two things that prevent this from being perfect.The video shows just about everything you’re going to need – what’s in the box, what’s inside the strip itself and power and efficiency testing. It is 23cm wide and sits about 8cm in to the desk when it’s clamped on. It provides solid power from all sockets – my testing showed it could easily provide the maximum 18W (9V 2A) that my devices could take from both USB A and C sockets at about 88% efficiency (i.e. 20.3W drawn from the wall, 17.9W delivered to the devices, 2.4W lost as heat), which is pretty standard for most USB chargers.Opening up the strip shows that it contains 2 USB chargers – one at each end of the strip. This means that if you need to charge two devices at the same time, you will get maximum power to each device by charging them at either end of the strip – connecting them both at the same side will mean they share a USB charger and go down to 5V.I had to remove the cover of the strip as there was something rattling around inside when I got it. Naturally, this was a concern because if it were a screw or similar metal object rattling around, it could cause all sorts of dangerous problems. Thankfully, it was just a couple of segments of wiring sleeve, but they should not be in there. While I was inside, I could get a closer look at the internals and they looked pretty solid to be honest, making it a shame that the two loose bits were in there.The clamp itself is a bit small and inflexible – there is no way to change anything about is, meaning if your desk is greater than 43mm thick, you won’t be able to use it. Additionally, you will need at least 4cm of clearance behind the strip as it hangs backwards over the edge.All in all, it’s really well made (apart from the unfortunate wire sleeving), charges USB devices well and is on the whole pretty well designed. I’m certainly not taking it off my desk any time soon – it has proved just too useful. If you can live with the minor problems (and the price), it does the job really well.

Quick and easy way to add more sockets to your desk
Haiaoyyds Desk Power Strip is a great way to get some power sockets on top of your desk. It has 3m of power cord; and adds 3 uk power sockets along with two usb-a and two usb-c sockets. The usb sockets can only delivery 20w between them; but it’s enough for charing my mouse, keyboard etc during the day. It’s a great addition to my desk; it’s handy to have extra sockets when I need them. The 3 * score is because the single clamp on the base doesn’t hold it steady enough; pulling and pushing plugs in over time makes it twist and slip off my desk; and it would be a lot nicer in the age of GaN chargers to have more than 20w available to the usb sockets.

Not the cheapest option but super cool/does it all
Do you know the miscellaneous hassles around sorting a desktop set-up with all the socket requirements and demands for neatness? Of course, you do. This is the answer.Build quality is very good and as long as the clamp set up will fit the desk design it offers a very secure and handy mains and USB solution. Place it where you want. I have mine to my right-hand side on the edge of the desk rather than hidden away, as usual. Just makes things easier, as needed.The USB A and C sockets aren’t going to knock your socks off speed-wise, but you should be able to prioritise OK, for example, you’d want a backup hard drive coming off the USB C, and so on. You get two of each which I would say will easily suit most needs. I got the white version as I’m bored with black everything. It fits in with my bright yellow work desk nicely. I have my monitor, laptop and backup drive plugged into the mains sockets. Perfect.BTW, the top of your desk needs to be 1.57″ or less to accommodate the clamp – most will be fine. You have a decent 3m of mains wire to the main socket in the wall (or wherever). That’s fine for me. In fact probably twice as long as I need to be truly neat under the desk.Easy recommendation from me despite the price, tho note there’s a £5 discount voucher tick box currently (January 2023). A 5***** zero fuss device.

Useful addition to my desk
This desktop power strip comes with 3 UK plugs, 2 USB-A ports, and 2 USB-C ports, which means I can power up to 7 devices simultaneously, making it perfect for my home office.The USB-A port provides 5V/3A, while the USB-C port provides 5V/3A, 9V/2.22A, and 12V/1.66A. What’s even better is that this power strip comes equipped with intelligent charging that automatically detects my connected devices (iPhone, Airpods, Controllers) and can reach faster-charging efficiency.One of the most useful features of this product is the 3M extension cord that allows me to place the power strip wherever I need it on my desk without worrying about the length of the cord. Even better, I can take the desk power strip out and mount it on the desk edge without any screws required, meaning no need to punch holes in the table.Overall, the power strip has been a convenient addition to my workspace. It’s sleek and white, blends perfectly with my desk decor and provides me with ample space to charge all my devices. If you’re in the market for a desk power strip, I highly recommend this product!
