Quick charge compatible power tap 'Anker PowerPort Strip PD 3' & 'Anker PowerPort Strip PD 6' review that can insert both 3-pin plug and USB Type-C cable

Power strip ' Anker PowerPort Strip PD 3 ' that has a USB Type-A port and a USB Type-C port that support quick charging, and has 3 and 6 outlets that support 3-pin plugs with grounding electrodes, respectively. ' Anker PowerPort Strip PD 6 ' appeared on Tuesday, November 10, 2020. I actually tried using a power strip with a USB port, which is said to be the first for Anker.

First of all, I will try using 'Anker PowerPort Strip PD 3' with 3 taps. Inside the box were instructions, support contact information, and the main unit.

The size of the tap part is about 23 cm in length, about 5.5 cm in width, and about 3 cm in height. Compared to the iPhone 12 of about 14.7 cm x about 7.2 cm, it looks like this. There are three outlets with a grounding electrode, two USB Type-A ports, and one USB Type-C port in between.

Both USB Type-A ports support Anker's proprietary charging technology Power IQ, and the USB Type-C port supports USB Power Delivery for quick charging.

When I connect a Pixel 4a that supports quick charging, the message 'Fast charging' is displayed properly.

Since the distance between the outlets is a little wider, even if you insert a slightly larger plug like a USB conversion adapter, it will not interfere with the neighbors.

At the base of the main unit, there is a switch that can manage the power supply at once. When you connect it to the outlet and then turn the switch 'ON', it glows white and you can tell at a glance whether it is energized.

The length of the cord is about 180 cm.

It has a ground wire, and by connecting it, you can prevent electric leakage in the unlikely event. In addition, there is a note saying 'Be sure to connect the ground wire before use'.

There are two holes for hanging on the back of the main body, and the specifications are written in the center. With a rated voltage of 125V and a rated current of 10A, a maximum output of 1000W is possible. The USB Type-C port can output up to 30W, but when used with the USB Type-A port it drops to 18W.

The contents of 'Anker PowerPort Strip PD 6' are the same, and include the manual, support contact information, and the main unit.

Compared to the previous Anker PowerPort Strip PD 3, the width of the outlet has doubled to about 9.5 cm. The length is 22.8 cm, which is a little shorter, and the height is about 3 cm.

It looks like this when placed side by side with the iPhone 12. It is a rugged impression for a 6-outlet tap.

Below the switch at the base are the words 'Grounded Protection' and 'Surge Protection'. The former works when a ground connection is made. It glows blue when you connect the outlet to the ground and turn on the switch at the base. The latter is to protect the equipment from a sudden voltage rise caused by lightning. It works without a ground connection and glows blue when the switch is turned on.

The length of the cord is about 200 cm longer than the previous product.

There are also holes for wall hanging and specifications on the back. There are two differences from 'Anker PowerPort Strip PD 3': 'rated current 15A' and 'output 1500W'. The specifications of the USB port do not change.

By connecting devices to all outlets and USB ports, you can charge up to 9 devices in this way. However, care must be taken not to exceed the rating for power consumption.

The price of 'Anker PowerPort Strip PD 3' is 3590 yen including tax. Amazon is holding the first sale, and it is said that 20% points that can be used on Amazon will be presented with a limited number of 100 points.
