Cube Power Strip vs Wireless Cube: Which Should You Choose?

Choosing between the Cube and Wireless Cube Power Strips? Compare features, charging capacity, and wireless options to find the best power hub for your desk or home.

When Uncaged Ergonomics first released the Cube Power Strip, it quickly became a favorite for people who needed more outlets in less space. Compact, mountable, and capable of powering up to 9 devices at once, the Cube set a new standard in desktop charging hubs.

But modern power needs have evolved. Enter the Wireless Cube Power Strip — a next-gen solution that combines all the features of the Cube with the added convenience of 15W wireless charging.

So which one is right for you? Let’s break it down.

1. Core Features: What They Have in Common

Both the Cube and Wireless Cube share the same core DNA:

• Compact palm-sized design
• TUV Certified for safety
• Built-in surge protection
• On/off switch for quick control
• 10 ft flexible cable for convenient placement
• Mountable bottom design for walls, desks, or workbenches
  

Each model is engineered to power multiple devices without blocking outlets, even when using bulky adapters.

2. The Cube Power Strip: Small Size, Maximum Outlets

The Cube Power Strip is a classic all-in-one charging hub that powers up to 9 devices at once:

• 5 AC outlets
• 3 USB-A ports
• 1 fast-charging 20W USB-C port

This makes it the ideal choice for:

• Dorm rooms
• Gaming desks
• Offices with multiple monitors and laptops
• Anyone who wants maximum AC outlets without clutter
  

Best For: People who prioritize more outlets (5 AC plugs) over wireless charging.

3. The Wireless Cube Power Strip: Power + Wireless Charging

The Wireless Cube Power Strip keeps the same compact cube form but swaps one AC outlet for a 15W wireless charging pad on top.

What you get:

• 4 AC outlets
• 3 USB-A ports
• 1 fast-charging 20W USB-C port
• 1 Wireless Qi charging pad (15W)
  

That means you can charge your iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, AirPods, or any Qi-enabled device just by setting it on top of the hub.

Best For:

• Nightstands & bedside tables
  
• Office desks where phones are always charging
  
• Anyone who wants wireless charging + wired capacity in one hub

5. Which Should You Choose?

👉 Choose the Cube Power Strip if:

• You need maximum AC outlets (5 instead of 4)
  
• You run a gaming desk, workshop, or office with lots of devices
  
• Wireless charging isn’t a priority
  

👉 Choose the Wireless Cube Power Strip if:

• You want wireless charging integrated into your power hub

6. Why Both Outperform Generic Power Strips

Cheap knockoffs often promise USB-C or wireless charging, but many cut corners:

• Fake “USB-C” ports that charge slower than USB-A
• No ETL or TUV certification
• Poor cable shielding that overheats
• No surge protection
  

Both Cube models are engineered for safety and longevity, with real USB-C PD fast charging, 100% copper wiring, and global safety certification.

7. Real-World Use Cases

• Students & Dorm Rooms: The Cube is perfect for tight spaces with multiple devices.
  
• Home Offices: The Wireless Cube keeps your desk phone always charged while freeing outlets for monitors and laptops.
  
• Bedrooms: Wireless Cube doubles as a nightstand hub with wireless charging for phones + lamps.
  
• Workshops: The Cube’s 5 AC outlets handle tools, chargers, and lighting.
  

Conclusion: Cube or Wireless Cube?

At the end of the day, both models are compact, certified, and powerful solutions for modern charging needs.

• If you need more AC outlets, stick with the Cube Power Strip.
  
  
• If you want wireless charging convenience, upgrade to the Wireless Cube Power Strip.
