Anker 2100J Power Strip — 12-Outlet Surge Protector with USB-C
Product description
This power strip delivers 12 AC outlets alongside one USB-C port and two USB-A ports to cover a wide range of devices from laptops and monitors to phones and small appliances. It carries a 2100J surge protection rating to absorb spikes and help keep connected equipment safe.
The USB-C port supports up to 20W for fast charging compatible phones (Anker notes rapid charging performance such as taking certain phones from 0–50% in roughly half an hour), while the USB ports share a combined USB output that is capped at 15W total across all USB ports. The layout places extra room between outlets so large wall-wart adapters and bulky plugs can fit without blocking neighboring sockets.
Safety is a core focus: an 8-point protection system combines surge suppression, fire resistance, overload cutoff, temperature regulation and additional internal safeguards to reduce risk during power events. The strip is intended for desktop, shelf, or cabinet use where multiple AC and USB connections are needed.
Designed as an outlet extender, it works for powering entertainment setups, multi-device desks, clinics, and portable workstations. The combination of numerous AC outlets and integrated USB charging simplifies cable management and reduces the need for separate adapters.
Pros
- Twelve AC outlets plus onboard USB-C and USB-A ports
- 2100J surge protection with multiple safety mechanisms
- Angled spacing prevents bulky bricks from blocking adjacent sockets
Cons
- All USB ports share a combined output capped at 15W
- Mostly plastic housing can feel lightweight
- Limited mounting options without additional hardware
VerdictA versatile, safety-focused outlet extender that supplies many AC sockets and onboard USB charging. It’s well-suited for home offices, entertainment centers, and workstations where bulky adapters and multiple devices need power. The shared USB output limit and a mostly plastic feel are minor trade-offs against its protection features and generous outlet layout.

Sturdy build, cleans up cables
Helped organize my messy cords and added three USB chargers. Feels very solid and holds plugs securely; mounting holes could be larger.

Roomy spacing and fast USB
Wide outlet spacing fits large plugs side-by-side. Fast USB ports clear desk clutter, and the heavy-duty cord is flexible for routing.

Good performance, lighter than expected
Excellent outlet layout for big plugs and a sleek look. Feels lighter and more plastic-y than I expected, but still performs well.

Works as advertised
Love the plug layout and USB options. Mounting requires two screws; would prefer a tapable mounting option, but it functions exactly as expected.

Excellent layout, multiple uses
I have several around the house. Outlet arrangement is thoughtful for power bricks, USB-C delivers fast charging, though it can’t mount horizontally.
