Very nice to see Anker having migrated to a direct plug and dropped the 18 gauge extension cord (dressed up as a heavy duty power cable).
I'd presume that this product should be listed under UL 498A Current Tap (see Anker's listing here[certipedia.com]). Allow me to link to a completely random, comparable product[amazon.com] I do not personally recommend but which indicates this UL 498A listing's applicability to this product form factor. Most any basic one to many AC outlet adapter without a cord would fall under this UL standard, as these random Home Depot[homedepot.com] and Amazon[amazon.com] listings illustrate.
Forgive slickdeals current problem with quoting. I'd update the earlier thread for an attempt at clarification but I don't wan to risk breaking the original post. Allow me to clarify one of my statements here:
I'd presume that this product should be listed under UL 498A Current Tap (see Anker's listing here). However, the Anker adapter fails to carry a listing under UL 498A.
I cannot recommend an AC adapter which fails to list under the appropriate UL listings.
Anyone shopping for meaningful alternatives could consider the following examples:
CyberPower has a 3 outlet AC power strip model GC306UCHD with USB A and 15W USB-C cyberpowersystems.com[/url]] you can find at Home Depot for around $13(!). Unlike most every Anker power strip, the Cyber Power product is listed through ETL intertekconnect.com[/url]] as a power strip and surge protector.
You can also find a comparable form factor from Amazon and historically at a per unit price as low as $7 per cube if you were willing to buy a 4- or 6-pack (1-pack ASIN B082Q1LC55, 4-pack ASIN B082Q26YYT; 6-pack ASIN B082Q26GGD). As a bonus, the Amazon product has 4 USB ports, a heavier gauge extension cord (14 gauge), and has surge protection. In addition, the Amazon product has both of the appropriate/expected UL certifications (UL 1363 for relocatable taps - since the cord and receptacles are NOT molded together - and UL 1449 for surge protective devices) UL Product IQ[/url]].
Good luck!
Jon

Bought 3 to have some around the house and to gift one to my parents. Code worked for all 3 in the same order. Thanks for the deal!

:
So if u have 3 usb devices plugged, that means each will get 10W?
Anker replied to a question on Amazon and said that the USB-C port drops from 30W to 18W output if any of the USB-A ports get used. Which I assume means you share 12W between the 2x USB-A ports.
You're absolutely right, though the multiple listing companies out there can make the process a challenge. There really are three steps to this process:
First: does the product claim third party listing?
This would be through UL, ETL/Intertek, TUV, or any other number of listings companies. Note that proper labeling is normally required, which Anker typically fails... likely for the reasons to come.
(Proper labeling is typically seen as those holographic metal foil labels or an integral part of the injection molding to indicate a listing certificate number and/or the appropriate standards)
Second: does the third party agency confirm the listing?
In this case, yes! (See my link to TUV in an earlier post)
Third: do the listings apply to the product in question?
Here is where Anker power products fail most consistently. Here the appropriate standard would be under UL 498A which the Anker product lacks. This should not only make their various protection claims suspect, but should erode trust in their power products overall.
Good luck!
Jon
Consider who makes these products, and where they're located. Answers almost every question about legitimate labeling...
And Anker is better than most.... At least in sales pitches....Just saying.

I have a similar model and it's decent for travel but I would not use it in any permanent location. Not because of any safety issue (of which I wasn't aware) but because the cube shape makes for a bit of an ugly cord tangle compared to any decent power strip.
This is just what advertising looks like in 2022. Previously you put a coupon in a newspaper or magazine, then you built a TV spot with a special number, and now you generate a tracking code and buy eyeballs on social media sites like Slickdeals.

The product is advertised as compatible with 100V - 240V. However, comments in reviews and here claim it supports 110v only. That seems strange. I have not come across a charging adapter that only supports 110V in quite some time.
Now I am unsure what to believe. The random comments or the advertised specs. Does anybody know for sure?
