Overview

The Emuca Retractable Pop-Up 60 Multi-Plug is a desk-mounted power tap designed for built-in installation. It features three Schuko (Type F) outlets plus one USB-A and one USB-C port, all housed in a 60mm diameter cylinder that can be pushed down to hide flush with the surface. With a maximum load of 3680W (16A at 230V AC) and USB-C charging up to 20W, it's a space-saving solution for European-style workspaces and kitchens. The stainless steel top plate adds a premium feel, and the hand-tightened nut allows tool-free mounting on surfaces 1–55mm thick.

Connectivity & Compatibility

This power tap uses a Schuko (Type F) plug and is rated for 230V AC 50Hz, up to 3680W total across all three outlets. The USB ports deliver up to 18W (USB-A) and 20W (USB-C) with support for multiple voltage steps (5V, 9V, 12V). Charging protocols include standard BC 1.2 and some Qualcomm Quick Charge compatibility (based on voltage ranges). Important: this product is designed for the European market. In regions with 100V mains (such as Japan), a step-up transformer is required to reach 230V; otherwise, the unit will not function at full capacity. Additionally, a Schuko-to-local adapter will be needed. The IP20 rating means it should only be used indoors and away from splashes.

Product Info

Released around late 2024, the Emuca Pop-Up Multi-Plug is available on Japanese online retailers for approximately ¥8,461. The package includes the unit with a 1.5m cable and Schuko plug; no additional mounting hardware is required beyond the built-in nut. Warranty details are not explicitly stated but typically fall under standard European consumer law. In the market, this sits as a mid-to-high-end built-in power tap, competing with brands like EVE and Brennenstuhl. Its stainless steel finish and USB fast-charging distinguish it from basic pop-up units.

Best Use Cases

  • Home office users who want a clean desk without visible power strips. The pop-up mechanism keeps outlets hidden when not in use. Not ideal for users with 100V mains unless they invest in a transformer.
  • DIY enthusiasts who can cut a 60mm hole and mount it into a desk or countertop. The hand nut makes installation simple and reversible. Avoid in wet areas due to IP20.
  • European furniture owners looking for a seamless integrated power solution. Works perfectly with EU-standard furniture and appliances. Not suitable for powering high-draw devices like gaming PCs or refrigerators due to combined USB output limitations.
