At a glance
The Crest 8 Socket Switched Power Board + USB PD 65W is a versatile power solution for home offices, entertainment units and desk setups needing many outlets plus fast USB charging. Its key strengths are eight individually switched sockets, 1500J surge protection and USB-C PD for compatible laptops. The main limitation is that 65W USB-C charging may be modest for larger high-performance laptops.

Things to consider
The USB-C output tops out at 65W, so it is better suited to phones, tablets and many everyday laptops than larger power-hungry workstation or gaming laptops.
Home office suitability
Excellent for desks with laptops, monitors, printers and accessories that need both AC power and USB charging.
Surge protection score
8/10 - 1500J surge protection is strong for everyday electronics in home and office setups.
Portability rating
5/10 - practical to move between rooms, but the 8-socket format is better for semi-permanent setups than travel.
Multi-device compatibility
High - supports up to eight mains-powered devices plus USB-C and USB-A charging for laptops, tablets and phones.
Durability vs category average
Above average - surge protection, individual switches and a right-angle plug make it better equipped than basic power boards.
Key benefits
- 8 switched sockets: powers multiple devices from one board while letting you turn each outlet on or off individually.
- 1500J surge protection: helps protect connected electronics from damaging voltage spikes.
- 2 USB-C ports with PD 65W: charges compatible laptops, tablets and phones directly without needing separate wall chargers.
- 2 USB-A ports with 36W QuickCharge: provides faster charging for compatible mobile devices and accessories.
- Individual LED switches: makes it easier to manage standby power and see which outlets are active.
- 1.8 m power lead: gives extra reach for placement behind furniture, under desks or around entertainment units.
- Right-angle plug: helps fit the board into tighter spaces and can sit more neatly behind cabinets or desks.
- Child protection shutters: adds peace of mind in shared family spaces by helping reduce accidental contact with socket openings.
Q: Can this power board replace a laptop USB-C charger?
A: Yes, for compatible USB-C laptops that charge within 65W. A compatible device connected to a USB-C port can draw up to 65W via PD, but laptops that need more power or use a proprietary charger will still need their original adapter.
Q: Will all USB ports fast charge at the same time?
A: It can charge four USB devices at once, using two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports. Fast charging depends on each device, cable and which port is used, so not every connected device will necessarily charge at its maximum supported speed together.
Q: Does each socket have its own on off switch?
A: Yes. Crest PWK14477 has individually switched sockets, so each connected device can be turned off without unplugging it. That suits setups with consoles, speakers, printers or chargers that do not need to stay powered all the time.
Q: Is the 1.8m lead long enough for desk or TV setups?
A: Yes, in many home setups. Crest PWK14477 has a 1.8m lead, which gives more placement flexibility behind a TV unit or under a desk, though it is still designed for nearby wall outlets rather than reaching across a room.
Q: How much surge protection does this Crest power board have?
A: Crest PWK14477 has 1500J surge protection. That is suited to everyday electronics such as TVs, monitors, speakers and game consoles, but surge protection helps reduce risk from voltage spikes and is not a guarantee against every electrical event.
Q: What makes this board less suitable for travel use?
A: Crest PWK14477 is better suited to a fixed setup because it combines 8 sockets, four USB charging ports and a 1.8m lead in one unit. That gives strong capacity at home, but it is bulkier than a small travel charger or basic extension lead.
