    I want to push the big red AC buttons on Genki’s USB-C packed power strip

    Genki has announced its first power strip, capable of charging up to seven devices simultaneously using three AC outlets and four USB-C ports. The Moonbase can deliver up to 240W of power through its USB-C ports — maxing out at 140W to a single device — and will be available with custom USB-C cables featuring built-in lighting, making it easier to plug devices in when it’s dark.

    The Moonbase is available for preorder now through an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign with delivery expected in April 2025. Full retail pricing for the power strip alone is expected to be $120, but it’s discounted to $88 for those who preorder early, or $129 if you also want a set of four of Genki’s Moonlink USB-C cables.

    Measuring about 7.7 inches in length, the Moonbase features three AC outlets on top that are generously spaced to accommodate chunkier AC adapters and multi-port chargers. The AC outlets feature a transparent design with LEDs that change color at the push of a button. Below the outlets, the power strip incorporates an energy efficient GaN (Gallium Nitride) charger delivering a total of 240W of power through its four side USB-C ports.

    The maximum power output of an individual USB-C port is limited to 140W, and that’s when just two of them are in use. With devices plugged into all four of the Moonbase’s USB-C ports, two can deliver a maximum of 100W, while the other two top out at just 20W.

    One of the four Moonlink cables includes a built-in display and the ability to handle 240W of power.

    Not every USB-C cable can handle over 100W of power, so Genki created an optional set of upgraded USB-C Moonlink cables to go along with the Moonbase. Three of the cables support 100W charging and come in small (1-foot), medium (3.3-feet), and large (6-foot) lengths, while the Moonlink+ can handle 240W and includes a built-in LED display showing the current power draw.

    With one end plugged in, all of the Moonlink cables glow on their other end to help illuminate the USB-C port on the device you want to power — the lighting turns off once both ends are plugged in. Although the Moonlink cables are available as part of a bundle with the Moonbase power strip, you only get one of each of the four versions — unfortunately, you can’t pick and choose which of the cables will work best for your setup.
