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.

Reviews

  1. DT 5/5

    Solid and trustworthy

    Trusted this strip to keep plugs secure and devices protected. No problems so far and it holds connections well.

  2. Jamison 5/5

    Great for a busy home office

    Ample plugs and the USB ports are handy. Handles dual monitors, a dock, and laptops with room to spare.

  3. Cynthia Loya 5/5

    Durable and portable

    Works reliably in my office. Flat design stops tipping and it’s easy to carry; I’ve used it for many setups with no issues.

  4. Blanca S. 5/5

    Compact and functional

    Lots of outlets fit into my son’s TV shelf. Not bulky, so it tucks into the cabinet without issue.

  5. Laurence P Greenberg 5/5

    Dependable for clinical gear

    Bought two for my physical therapy clinic. Compact on carts, good layout for computers and equipment, and sturdy enough for daily use.

  6. Amy Medina 5/5

    Plenty of connections

    Appreciate the mix of AC sockets and USB ports — exactly what I needed for multiple devices.

  7. 2Stroke GoBrrrr 5/5

    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.

  8. Ting Z. 5/5

    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.

  9. Liam Fuentes 4/5

    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.

  10. Jacob 5/5

    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.

  11. R. 5/5

    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.

  12. Sanyual Alam 5/5

    Reliable for bedside setup

    Bought it for my bedroom and it’s been great — thick cord, plenty of outlets, and useful USB ports. Gives peace of mind against surges.
