Material science analysis of the Anker 332 confirms the use of a UL 94-V0 flame-retardant chassis and high-purity copper bus bars, which reduce internal resistance and heat generation during peak 1875W loads. This is a non-smart mechanical device, which eliminates risks associated with firmware instability or cloud-based vulnerabilities. The integrated surge protection is rated at 900 Joules, suitable for standard office electronics but below the threshold recommended for high-energy industrial spikes.
The hardware configuration includes a 45-degree angled flat plug to allow furniture to sit flush against the wall. Charging metrics specify an 18W USB-C port utilizing PowerIQ 3.0 technology, though this wattage is shared; occupying the USB-A ports simultaneously will reduce the available throughput on the USB-C rail. The power cord length is 5 feet, providing a standard radius for workstation placement.
Technical documentation indicates that this unit contains no wireless radios and relies entirely on a physical rocker switch for power distribution.
Summary: A reliable, analog power distribution unit prioritized for fire safety and USB-C integration, though it lacks all remote monitoring and automation capabilities.
