Key Features

  • 3-meter power cord with a swing plug that rotates for easier access to wall outlets.
  • Built-in magnet on the bottom allows secure attachment to steel desks or racks.
  • Dust shutters on each outlet prevent dust and debris from entering unused sockets.

  • Master switch on the side lets you turn off all connected devices at once.

Compatibility Guide

This power tap is designed for Japanese 100V outlets with a 2-pin plug (no ground terminal). Rated voltage is 125V. It is suitable for most household electronics, computer peripherals, and AV equipment. Do not use with high-power appliances such as air conditioners, microwaves, or space heaters. Ensure total connected load does not exceed 1500W (typical limit for Japanese power taps).

Ideal Use Cases

  • Desk setups: Connect your PC, monitor, printer, and phone charger in one place.
  • Living room: Consolidate TV, game consoles, and streaming devices.
  • Office: Manage multiple office machines with a single master switch.

Usage Cautions

  • The magnet is strong but may shift if heavy cables are pulled.
  • Turning off the master switch cuts power to all devices, which may require rebooting some equipment.
  • Surge protection components degrade after absorbing a large surge; consider replacing the unit after a major event.
