APC Desk Mount Power Station PE6U21W, U-Shaped Surge Protector with USB Ports (3), Desk Clamp, 6 Outlet, 1080 Joules White

The media could not be loaded. Purchased this handy power station for two reasons: 1) to reduce floor clutter ; and 2) to work well with my sit/stand desk due to some power cords being a bit too short to work well while my desk is in standing position. I've achieved both goals, the power station works great, the USB-A and USB-C outlets are quite handy for charging various things, and I love the maneuverability of the power station if needed. The main power cord for the power station is long enough to support a standing desk at its full height of 47.2", with 1-1.5' to spare, but that's with the wall outlet in close proximity to the desk.Note: You may have noticed in the video that, because my desk if fairly thin, there's a small gap between the 'clamp' and the underside of the desk - The power station is still pretty stable even if it's not fully clamped, but you can always put a piece of wood or tear a piece of a cardboard box (from the many boxes we receive from Amazon!) as a buffer.Also Note: To reduce risk of electrical fire and for safety reasons, always plug a power station/strip into a wall outlet - not into another power strip.

This product is versatile, keeping it for as long as possible

Great to use if you have an adjustable standing desk. This allows you to plug in your PC/monitor/etc and only have one plug going from the desk to the outlet to allow free range of motion of your desk. The USB pulgs on the top of the mount are nice as well as the easy accessible power switch. My only negative is the spring loaded clip to hold it to the desk doesn't secure it the most sturdy. It's not going to move on its on but it's bumping it will cause it to move. Otherwise this was exactly what I was looking for, nice and low profile and it lets you manage your cables cleanly.

I wanted something that made my adjustable standing desk look a bit more organized. There is no longer a massive rat's nest of power cables on top of my desk (and I also don't like power strips on the floor). I like how the AC outlets are now below the desk (used to power three monitors and my laptop docking station), and the USB ports are on top (used to charge my tablet, a wireless charging stand, and smartwatch charger).I'm removing a star because the clamping mechanism doesn't hold the power station in place at all. As noted by someone in the Q&A section, mine is also kind of wedged between the desk and a wall, so there is no fear of it falling off. Plugging in additional AC power cords will require using two hands. Additionally, the USB-C port doesn't support Power Delivery, so it slow charges my tablet (or wireless charger). Neither are huge issues to me, but these are two things that people probably want to know about when making an informed purchasing decision.Updated: Knocking off an additional star for the USB ports. The USB-C port is so low-powered that it cannot even revive my tablet when the battery is at 0% (but it does recharge normally if the battery is above 0%). I now only use the USB ports for my wireless charger and my smartwatch charger. I now have a separate 20W USB-C charger for my tablet.Update (2/16/2024): I finally got around to contacting APC about unit and the poor-performing USB ports. It got to the point where I just plugged in a USB charger to the unit in order to properly charge my devices. After answering a couple of troubleshooting questions (including the serial number, which is difficult to access especially if you have it wedged against the wall like it is designed), I was granted a warranty replacement. It was sent next-day air. The first noticeable difference was I received a white/gray unit instead of the black one. It's a small nit-pick. The second difference is the clamping mechanism is much stronger. After swapping all cables to the new unit, I can confirm that the USB ports now work as expected. My tablet now registers as fast charging (via USB-C port), and charging my phone in one of the USB-A ports does not affect the power output across any device. I am now bumping this product to 5 stars (ideally I'd want to give it 4.5 stars). Do note that the USB-A ports are fine for regular/slow charging devices.

I was looking for a way to minimize power cords from my rolling home office desk. I was going to buy a standard surge protector and mount it under my desk some how so I can only have one power cable from my desk to the outlet. Then this item popped up. I immediately knew this is what I was looking for. This unique U design slid onto the desktop allowing me to have USB charging on top and hiding the power cables underneath. I am very pleased with this purchase. It has a decent length cord. Very easy to install. Has a small spring clamp that helps (a little) to keep the item from moving. Plus it is made by APC. So far no issues. Hopefully it continues that way. I would/will buy this again if I setup another desk.

This power station works perfectly for me. I have tried several others, with and without clamps, but this design is brilliant as it fits perfectly in the back of my desk which remains uncluttered.I ordered a second one and now I have all UPS-connected devices on one station and all others on a second station.It has. a spring-loaded arm inside that keeps it "attached", more like loosely secured, to the desk. I ended up applying a small piece of masking tape to secure it further as I walk behind the desk often and sometimes I accidentally bump into it.One other problem it solves is that it keeps cables raised from the floor so my Dibea 960 vacuum robot doesn't get stuck all the time as before.I just bought them and I hope I'll get many years of use out of them but otherwise I will let all know here.So far so good and I am very happy with my purchase.

Haven’t tested the protection yet, and hope not to, but the fit and finish is great, the plugs feel nice and are secure, and the USB charging has been extremely handy, and is at a good power rate for keeping phones and miscellaneous USB-charged tools topped up. Nice space saver, and the flat/right-angle wall plug is super for keeping things tucked away neatly, or fitting behind a desk or chair.
