The black model.<\/p><\/div>\n

In the box is the multi-strip outlet and a small instruction card with technical specs. The AC output is rated 13A, 125V, 1625W; and the USB output voltage is the expected 5V. There are eight USB ports, with four delivering 5V\/1A for smaller USB devices like smartphones and four delivering 5V\/2.4A for larger USB devices like tablets. In my testing, everything worked exactly as expected.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Bukm for the review units.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
