    Monster Power Center Vertex – Surge Protector w/ 6 AC Out, 2 USB-A & 1 USB-C Port

    For people that work from a home office or even from their company’s office, is it quite common to have a few different devices around, as that can easily improve your quality of life when working. These devices can include a computer or laptop, potentially a secondary monitor, as well as a tabletop lamp, and also your Smartphone’s dedicated charger, and possibly, even a portable heater unit. Now, in order to have so many devices set-up in your work-space, it’s extremely important to have a reliable surge protector around. That’s because having a decent surge protector around not only gives you the ability to plug-in multiple devices to power via one single power outlet, but ultimately (and more importantly) allows you to ensure that you can keep all of your devices protected from unexpected high-voltage power surges / power spikes. And for that, there’s nothing like the Monster Power Center Vertex.

    The Monster Power Center Vertex is an advanced surge protector that features 6 AC Outlets and an extra long 6 ft double-nylon-braided cord, as well as a 4 ft. Detachable Magnetic USB-HUB that integrates 2 USB-A ports and 1 USB-C Port for a whooping 32W of total power, along with a 3000J Surge Protection Safety Function.

    Unlike most surge protectors on the market that only offer you a few AC outlets only, the Monster Power Center Vertex is designed to keep all of your devices connected to power, no matter if those are powered by electricity, or even via a USB-A or USB-C connection.

    All in all, this advanced surge protector gives you the perfect solution for hard to reach outlets, and while its extra-long 6 ft. double-braided nylon cord ensures that you won’t even require any sort of tools to set it up.

    With it, you can conveniently power up to 9 devices simultaneously while always having the assurance and peace-of-mind that your connected devices are fully protected from any potential high-voltage power surges.

    Now, let’s have a slightly more detailed look at it and check out everything that it has to offer you.

    DESIGN & SPECS

    Starting with the Monster Power Center Vertex’s size, this advanced surge protector comes at a fairly compact size, which basically gives the device the flexibility to be neatly set-up in tight spaces, such as behind a piece of furniture.

    INTERFACE / CONNECTION PANEL

    Moving on to the Monster Power Center Vertex’s interface, meaning its connection panel. As said before, this advanced surge protector is designed to allow you to power up to 9 devices simultaneously, and those can be both electric-powered devices as well as battery-powered USB-enabled devices.

    So, starting right at the top-side of the unit, we have an On & Off Power Switch, and below it, there’s a set of 6 AC Grounded Outlets that allow you to power up and protect up to 6 devices simultaneously. This includes any sort of electric-powered devices such as computers, other office gadgets, as well as any standard home appliances.

    More importantly, and as said earlier, this advanced surge protector is also rated to have a 3000J Surge Protection Safety Function that’s certified to absorb a high amount of energy to adequately protect your equipment, even when you have 6 devices all simultaneously connected to this outlet extender hub.

    On that note, know that at the top-right of the unit, there’s also two (x2) built-in LED Indicator Lights that respectively inform users when the Monster Power Center Vertex’s 3000J Surge Protection is active, as well as properly grounded.

    Moving on, below the device’s set of 6 AC Grounded Outlets, we also have its 4 ft. Detachable Magnetic USB-HUB, which integrates 2 USB-A ports (at the left-hand side) as well as a USB-C port (at the right-hand side) for a whooping 32W of total power.

    Note that the unit’s 4 ft. Detachable Magnetic USB-HUB can be magnetically mounted to a wall (or a flat surface such as a desk) by using the 3M Adhesive Sticker that comes included in the package.

    On that note, know that when not in use, the unit’s 4 ft. Detachable Magnetic USB-HUB can be neatly wrapped around the core of the main unit (meaning the surge protector itself) so that it stays packed seamlessly in place.
