Belkin’s 12-outlet USB surge protector (~$41) is the old-school pick for a reason: nearly 4000J of protection, spaced outlets, a flat plug, and a 6 ft cord. USB-A ports are slower than modern GaN USB-C bricks, but if your priority is protecting a PC, monitors, and a dock from spikes — and you already have a tray — this is the conservative choice.
About $41
Pros
- ~3996J surge rating — serious protection headroom
- Twelve spaced AC outlets for bulky bricks
- Flat plug and 6 ft cord reach awkward outlets
- Trusted brand for connected PC / monitor setups
Cons
- USB-A only — no high-watt USB-C on the strip
- Not clamp-mounted; belongs in a tray or on the floor
- Bulkier than Anker’s newer compact strips
Who it's for
Desks with expensive electronics where joule rating and outlet spacing beat USB-C convenience.
