One Beat 3‑Side Power Strip: Compact Surge Protection for Modern Setups
The One Beat 1680J 3‑Side Power Strip is a compact but capable charging hub designed for people who need to power several devices in a tight space without creating cable chaos. Its three‑sided layout, built‑in surge protection, and combination of AC outlets with USB ports make it a strong all‑in‑one solution for desks, nightstands, and travel.
Design and Build Quality
This power strip is built around a three‑sided cube-style design, which lets you plug in bulkier chargers without them blocking each other. Traditional flat strips often waste outlets once you add a laptop brick or oversized adapter; here, the outlets are spaced so that each side can be used at the same time. The low‑profile form factor sits neatly against a wall or at the back of a desk, and the white finish blends in with most home and office setups.
The housing is made from flame‑retardant material, and the unit is ETL listed, which means it has been independently tested for electrical safety standards. That’s important if you plan to leave it plugged in behind furniture or use it with expensive electronics like laptops, tablets, and gaming consoles.
Power Capacity and Surge Protection
At the core, you get five AC outlets plus built‑in surge protection rated at 1680 joules. That joule rating is a good fit for everyday use—perfect for protecting a workstation, entertainment center, or bedside charging station from power spikes. It’s not an industrial‑grade rating meant for heavy shop tools, but it’s more than enough for phones, laptops, monitors, routers, and small appliances.
The integrated surge circuitry helps absorb sudden voltage spikes from storms or grid fluctuations, instead of passing them directly to your connected devices. For someone running a home office, that extra protection is cheap insurance compared to the cost of a laptop or monitor.
USB and USB‑C Charging
One of the biggest advantages of this One Beat model is that you don’t need to add separate USB chargers. It includes:
-
4 USB charging ports, including at least one USB‑C port
-
Smart charging that automatically allocates up to the maximum rated output per port, so phones and tablets charge efficiently
This lets you plug in phones, tablets, earbuds, power banks, or small gadgets directly with just a cable. It’s especially handy for travel: you can plug the strip into a single hotel outlet and charge multiple devices overnight without hunting for extra sockets or carrying several wall bricks.
Everyday Use: Home, Office, and Travel
For a home office, this strip works well behind a monitor or under a desk: you can power a laptop charger, monitor, speakers, and router while keeping USB ports free for phones and accessories. On a nightstand, it simplifies everything—lamp, alarm clock, and multiple phones or watches all plug into one unit, with cables routed neatly.
Because of its relatively compact design and all‑in‑one functionality, it also makes sense as a travel companion. Instead of carrying a stack of chargers, you can drop this into your bag and instantly turn one wall outlet into a mini charging station in hotel rooms, airports, or coworking spaces.
Who This Is Best For
This power strip is a strong match if you:
-
Need to power multiple devices in a small space without bulky adapters blocking outlets
-
Want built‑in surge protection for laptops, routers, and entertainment gear
-
Prefer integrated USB and USB‑C ports so you can travel with fewer separate chargers
-
Value a unit that’s ETL listed and built from flame‑retardant materials for safety and peace of mind
If you’re building or upgrading a desk setup, outfitting a dorm room, or looking for a compact travel power hub, the One Beat 1680J 3‑Side Power Strip offers a practical mix of protection, charging flexibility, and space‑saving design.
