Our verdict

An Anker desk power strip with surge protection and USB charging alongside AC outlets for a laptop, phone and monitor setup. The spec sheet omits joule and wattage ratings, so check those with Anker.

Overview

Surge protection circuitry inside the Anker Nano Power Strip guards the AC outlets and USB ports that power a desk full of devices. One North American plug feeds everything, so a laptop, monitor, phone and speaker can share a single wall socket.

Mixing AC outlets with USB ports cuts the number of separate chargers on a crowded desk. The spec sheet is muddled, though: outlet counts conflict with the product name, and no surge rating in joules or total wattage appears, so confirm the numbers before buying.

Who it's for

Home offices, dorm desks and gaming setups with a mix of plug-in and USB gear get the most out of the combined outlets. Those wiring up high draw appliances should look for a strip with published load and joule figures.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Surge protection for connected devices
  • USB ports alongside AC outlets
  • Anker backs it for two years
  • Light enough to move between desks
Cons
  • Joule rating not listed
  • Port counts conflict across the listing
  • No total wattage in the specs

Performance notes

Protection comes from the surge suppression circuit, which diverts voltage spikes away from plugged in gear until its capacity is used up. USB charging speed depends on how the strip shares its output across ports, which the spec sheet does not break down.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Anker A9196 power strip run a space heater?

Heater appears in the compatible devices list, but the spec sheet gives no total wattage, so check the strip's rated load before combining a heater with other gear.

Why do the outlet counts differ on the Anker A9196 listing?

The spec sheet lists 10 outlets, 6 ports and 4 USB ports, while the product name describes a different layout. Check the packaging photos for the exact AC and USB split.

Will the Anker A9196 work outside North America?

The plug is listed as Type A two pin North American, so other regions need a matching outlet.
