Watson SP8U-6 Overview

Turn one outlet into eight with the black 8-Outlet Surge Protector with USB from Watson, which features eight NEMA 5-15R outlets, each of which provides up to 2450 joules of surge protection, and two of which are block-sized to accommodate large plugs without blocking access to other outlets. A 15A circuit helps protect devices such as computers, TVs, and mobile electronics, while two USB-A ports, one of which provides quick charging, and two USB-C ports with power delivery lets you charge devices with 5V/3A or up to 20W of power.

This surge protector connects to a wall outlet using an integrated NEMA 5-15P plug with a 6' cord. The plug is equipped with a right-angle connector that is oriented at a 45° offset, which does not block any wall outlets below. LED indicators alert users as to which surge circuits are properly functioning and rear wall mounts allow the surge protector to be mounted off the ground.

Increased Power Outlets
Watson's 8-Outlet Surge Protector with USB adds eight NEMA outlets, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports for all your electronics in the home and office. If you have a lot of gear, you can now power your large devices like a computer and TV from the outlets, and mobile electronics like your phone or tablet from the USB ports. All ports are protected with safety circuits that monitor power surges from overcurrent and overloading power amounts.
USB Outlets
There are four USB ports so you can charge USB devices. One USB-A and a USB-C port output 5V/3A, which is ideal for your phone and wireless earbuds. The two additional USB-A and USB-C ports accommodate QC and PD devices, delivering up to 20W to quickly charge devices at high speed.
Surge Indicator
The outlets are protected by up to 2450 joules of surging power. An LED indicator displays the working surge circuits so you can easily glance at the outlets to see that your gear is protected.
Convenient Power Plug
Sometimes the wall outlet isn't close to the equipment and the placement of a surge protector can be an eye sore. This multi-outlet unit offers a 6' power cord with a right-angle connector. Plug the protector behind the desk or nightstand with it flush against the wall, and power up your electronics on the other side of the worktable.
Rear Wall Mounts
The rear wall mounts allow you to mount the surge protector off the ground and with better access. With the outlets on the wall, you won't have to bend down and rummage through a mess of wires to plug and unplug your gear.
USB Power Output
  • USB-A 5V, 3A
  • USB-A QC 3.0 5V, 3A / 9V, 2.22A / 12V, 1.67A

Does what a power strip should do

By Conrad
Rated 5 out of 5

Decent protected power strip with a switch, USB charging and a nice angled plug so it doesn't interfere with other things on the outlet.

Works just as advertised, well-made.

Happy with this power strip. Having 8 working outlets is fantastic. I can plug all kinds of things in quickly and easily. And having USB ports on it as well is also fantastic. As this strip comes with 4 total USB's. One USB-A and a USB-C port with 5V/3A output for phones and similar items that do not need much juice. And two additional USB-A and USB-C ports for QC and PD devices. These 2 additional ones provide up to 20W to quickly charge devices at high speeds. I love that. This 8-outlet strip also seems very well built, made with quality materials, and should last forever. Nice thick cabling, but not so thick that it is hard to manage, which is what I wanted. I like that the male plug has a right-angle design. This tends to make it more discreet and easier to hide. I also like that 2 of the female plugs have some space, this makes it easy to fit plugin dc power adapters that are large or anything else that has a large male plug. I like that it is white colored, instead of black too. This might sound strange/silly, but I like that it is very visible on the set. This way it is less likely to trip someone and less likely to be accidentally left in the shot/frame. I'd rather notice it before rolling than to find out later in the edit. Which has happened to me with a less noticeable black colored one. Connection points seem well-made, and I do not see any weak points that will break from use. This has a 15amp rating and 1875W Max wattage which is good for my productions and applications. Having 2450 Joules of Surge Protection is also fantastic and adds a nice peace of mind when plugging in some of my expensive gear. This power strip also has a surge protector light to not only let you know that the surge circuits are functioning, but also lets you always know that the strip is receiving power. I insist on having a light on my power strips, so I know they are receiving electric. This can save a lot of time testing outlets. It can also be mounted on a wall if you'd like because it comes with rear mounting options. Which is perfect for an office or when you need to get it off the ground. Again, I'm happy with this extension cord. It is well made and very versatile with its 8 outlets and 4 USB ports. It is a perfect addition to my kit. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

Will this work on 220v?

Will this work on 220v?
Asked by: Nikolas
The Watson 8-Outlet Surge Protector with USB (2450 Joules, Black) would only work with 125VAC at 60 Hz, so it won't be compatible with 220V power.
