Anker’s new clamp-on power strip tackles cable clutter, includes four USB ports

2 April 2026 at 17:35

Anker has come up with a slightly different take on the usual power strip, and it’s clearly aimed at people tired of cables running all over their desk.

The new Nano Power Strip (10-in-1, 70W, Clamp) is designed to sit right on the edge of your desk. It uses a clamp-style mount, with two sections that grip the top and bottom of the desk and tighten into place with a rotating knob. Simple idea, but it solves a pretty common annoyance.

The layout is split across two levels. On the top section, you get easy access to ports you’ll probably use more often, while the lower section handles additional outlets that don’t need to be front and center.

Up front, there are four USB ports, including two USB-C and two USB-A. One of the USB-C ports can push up to 70W, which should be enough for most laptops. The rest of the outputs are standard AC sockets, bringing the total to ten.

It’s also got 1500J surge protection, which is expected at this point but still good to have, especially if you’re plugging in multiple devices.

Compared to Anker’s earlier Nano charging station, this one is less about portability and more about keeping your desk clean. The clamp design means fewer cables hanging off the edge or disappearing behind the table, which is really the main appeal here.

It’s priced at $69.99 and is expected to go on sale in the US around mid-April 2026. There’s no clear word on availability in other regions yet.

For anyone dealing with a messy setup, this feels like a practical upgrade. Whether it ends up being genuinely useful day to day will probably come down to how well that clamp holds up and how convenient the layout feels in real use.
