I'm a real dummy when it comes to electrical gadgets and can't decide between this power strip and the Belkin ones, which are available in either 1 amp/5 watt or 2.1 amp/10 watt. Both Belkin models have two USB ports....

You probably already made up your mind by now, but if you haven't I think you should just pick between this one or the Belkin 2.1 amp/10 watt. The older Belkin (1 amp/5 watt) is practically useless in terms of its USB ports (way too underpowered for today's devices). &#10004; Keep in mind that the Belkin 2.1amp is split between the two USB ports (i.e. combined they can output 2.1 amp, and if both are used simultaneously then it will be less for each port). So you can charge a tablet at full speed if that's the only thing plugged into the USB ports, or two devices as slower speed. &#10004; Also know that the Belkin is also a "surge protector" so you have protection against surges, while the Monster strip is simply a splitter. &#10004; The Monster strip is rated for 110v-220v. The Belkin is technically rated for ONLY 110v (US), BUT reviewers have state they've successfully used it internationally. I have the older Belkin and am also having trouble deciding between this Monster strip or the newer Belkin (2.1 amp). If you need/want the surge protection then the Belkin is the only way to go. Otherwise the smaller size of the Monster strip is nice, but it's bright blue light can be annoying (but you can tape over that). I'm also considering getting the 4 outlet version of the Monster strip and just forgoing the USB port (since it's only 1.5 amp). Really a judgement call at this point. Hope this helps.

No, the first two (5 and 10) are Watts, not amps. At 2.1A, this provides about the same power as the 10W iPad charger (multiply by 5V, which is USB standard). I have this outlet and it does seem to charge at full rate.

guess I didnt think before buying this-- 12v with an2.4 amp out put 28.8watts -- the package saids dual 12w in a circuit either voltage is half or the amperage depends on serial or parallel -in parallel if voltage stays the same the amp draw would be spit. this is confusing-but it advertises 12w per port--- 12 divided by 2.4 =5v- gues I have to get the meter out- kirk saids 24w and 4.8a total-- nowhere is it printed- can check by meter

I am not sure I can answer your question but from the info I read from another reviewer who said he took the device apart, he said that the right port did provide 2.1 amps but that the left port was just some resistors and did not supply as much current. He did not say anything about what both of them put out at the same time. You might try a search on Levitons website where they provide the specs. We use ours daily on both ports and they work great for us.

Not 100% sure with that question, I purchased my Home Power source for a Belkin product

The 75 watt is great for pretty much anything you have i use it for my phone laptop almost anything that can plug into a wall charger the decision is more on preference and power needed. If the 75 watt can handle it then i would go for it but like i said its a lot based on preference.

Strip says its 15 watts/ meter and it is 5 meters( about15 feet) so at 12 volts that's 6.25 amps minimum per strip. 8 to 9 amps would be a better value to use to size your power supply. 3 strips with a 20 amp power supply would've pushing it.

Mine came with a "wall-wart" type USB power supply right in the box. Any 5v DC power supply that puts out 1.8 to 2.0 amps should work fine

I'm not precisely sure on that. The thing has 2 USB ports. One for Apple devices. The other for anything else. They are stamped "A". And. "NA". The little pamphlet says you'll get full 2.4 on the A port but if you use both at one time the power is divided & I don't remember the exact breakdown

The device sheet specifies that it can handle 10 Amps or 2500 Watts. (You can assume the power strip load is virtually zero.) Just add up the max power drawn by each device you plug into the strip and keep the total under 2500 W.If you only have the current load (@ 120 Volts) divide it by 2 to get the load that appears at 240 V. Keep this current total under 10.

Should be rated at 2.1 amp. Charges as fast as my Belkin charger rated at 2.1

I am not positive, but from what I have read it is so that you can draw twice as much power to supply the unit. most computer ports supply have a watt of power by using 2 you can suppy 1 watt. The unit is rated at 2 watts to supply that you will most likely have to run one usb port to your computer and the other to a powered USB hub that has a higher power rating. I have not noticed much difference with 500mv or a full 2000mv of power.

No their is not. It doesn't matter what wattage the device you wish to use as the main (as long as it's not something crazy ie high powered tools, generators etc that will fry the power strip) when you that device is turn the internal circuitry of the power strip will send a response to the other outlets telling them to turn on. If a some or all of your device are not turning on/off at the same time their is a small knob on the side of the strip where you can adjust + or - to make them all work. Most of the time you do not need to touch this as it's very sensitive to adjustments you make.

I used the one I bought for 4 desktop computers and 4 monitors. I bought the highest rated outlet strip. If the outlet will handle it, this power strip should

A USB port uses a max 500ma of +5vdc power = 2.5 watts. Thanks for using AnswerParty!

5 amps. But the power supply is 12 volts, so in reality the USB-devices you connect can pull way more than that since the USB ports are only 5 volts. Remember that volts multiplied with amps equals wattage (so 12 volts times 5 amps equals 60 watts). Nine USB ports providing a maximum of 0.9 amps times 5 volts equals 40 watts, and then you have a charger port of 2.1 amps times 5 volts which equals 11 watt. So in theory, if you fill up the entire device with USB-devices that can draw maximum power from all the ports, the maximal power draw should be around 51 watt, which is less than the power supply provides. Therefore, this hub should never give you any disconnects because of too huge a power draw, which was a frequent problem with my old USB hub.

Yes. Amperage on a 120v outlet is a total of 20amps. USB ports draw about .5 for USB 2.0. I think USB 3.0 allows up to 5 amps
