Tripp-Lite U280-008-CQC-ST USB Charging Station

At home or in the office, this USB charging station provides enough power and ports to keep your devices at high capacity. No more peering behind furniture to find an available outlet or unplugging one device to charge another. This compact charging station charges up to eight devices at the same time, including smartphones, tablets, MacBooks, Chromebooks and Amazon Kindles, at a maximum of 120W. It doesn’t require a computer, so you can take it anywhere AC power is available.

Five small and four large brackets are included to hold multiple devices during charging or to store them and keep them organized when not in use. The brackets easily insert into slots built into the charger’s surface. You can customize storage space according to the number and size of the connected devices, ranging from smartphones and AirPods to larger laptops and tablets.

Six BC 1.2-compliant USB-A ports are each capable of delivering up to 5V 2.4A (12W) of power*, enough for fast-charging most smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. Built-in auto-sensing lets the port detect the connected device and automatically adjust the required power level accordingly for optimum charge and compatibility.

*When all ports are being used simultaneously the U280-008-CQC-ST can handle up to 5V 6.2A (31W). After 6.2A the unit will go into overload protection and drop the port causing the overload.

Another USB-A port features Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 Class A technology up to 12V 1.5A. Connect a QC 3.0-compatible device for speedy charging—up to 80% battery capacity in as little as 35 minutes.

For devices that are even more powerful, the USB-C port provides up to 20V 3A (60W) for battery-intensive devices like the MacBook Pro or Chromebook Pixel.

Using the included detachable base and hardware, you can mount the charger to the wall or rest it vertically on a flat surface, such as a desk or workbench. You can also place it flat on a horizontal surface, or unfold it in order to install the included dividing brackets for organized charging.

To charge your USB devices, simply plug the included external dual-voltage (100V–240V) power supply into any standard NEMA 5-15R or 1-15R outlet, and connect your devices to the available USB ports. The charger protects against overheating, overcurrent and overcharging. A green LED indicates the unit is turned on and receiving AC power.
