Even a mini power strip should have some minimal surge protection also no mention of any safety certifications, so assume none.

Last time .it’s $9.99 . I ordered it, then they sent me a 50w usb c 2 port charger instead. I didn’t complain. I prefer another 2 usb a and 1 40w usb c mini power stipe better, it can charge my iPad Pro 40w.

Buy Nice or Buy Twice.

Looks similar to this one that I recently bought for $25: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07ZGH6LYP

The difference being that the PrimeCables one only has 5V/3A (15W) USB-C, whereas the Amazon one is 30W USB-C PD. I have it beside my couch to charge my laptop and phone.

It's hard to see, but in the picture where it shows the back, there is a ETL (Canada & US) symbol. Not having surge protection is actually why I bought one last time it was on sale. I needed a power strip that I could plug into my UPS, which already has surge protection (it's not a good idea to daisy chain surge protected power bars).

I have one of these and it has the ETL logo at the back:

I love these. Bought some for my arcade mods.

Got them for 9.99 in September, but 14.99 is still great.

Can this be used overseas? I think they use different voltages.

Can't find information on input voltage. Keep in mind that the plug prongs maybe different overseas so might require an adapter which are usually bulky and potentially covers up most of the outlets.

I am so surprised to see this kind of comments in RFD.
Maybe you are not belonging here...

Or are you trying to say "I don’t like it, it feels NOT cheap." ?
Something is missing here...

Crap I'm in recent need of a flat plug to go behind some furniture, and just seeing this thread a day late. Would have been perfect for my needs.
