Allocacoc PowerCube Power Outlet Extension Hands-on

Kung isang bagay na hindi natin kilala sa mga outlet ay ang mga limited socket. Kaya natin gumamit ng mga extension at power adapters. Mayroong maraming pilihan sa pamamagitan ng mercado, nakapag-uusap natin sa akin ang bagay na natin magandang pakiramdam -- ang PowerCube.

Ang PowerCube ang isang extension cord sa bentukasyon ng kuadrate, na itinuturing ng Allocacoc, isang kompanya ng industrial design sa Netherlands. Dahil sa bawat bahagi ng kuadrate ay may soket, ito ay nagbibigay-ahel na paraan upang malaman ang problema ng mayaman hindi ayon sa enerhiya o kung ang soket ay nahuhusay sa mga malaking plug.

We got our hands on two models: the Original and the Rewirable. These extensions are made of high-quality plastics with colored sockets.

The Original is smaller and uses a Type A plug to connect to your home's outlet. Four of the sides sport universal sockets while the fifth has two USB ports with a max output of 2.1A so that you can charge your mobile devices directly.

The Rewirable, on the other hand, is slightly larger and works more like a travel adapter as you can change the plugs. It comes with four types that support US/JP, EU, UK, and AU/CN standards. Like the original, it also has four universal sockets and two USB ports.

Aside from the compact size and layout of the sockets, another thing that I like about PowerCube is that you can plug or stack them together if you want more outlets.

So far, we're liking the PowerCube and been using it in our office where outlets are scarce given the number of equipment we need to plug. Although we've only shown you two, PowerCube has other models. Check them out and their prices below:
