The TAP-SLIM6UC series is a very convenient power strip that can be plugged in vertically, horizontally, and in any direction.
Sanwa Supply released the TAP-SLIM6UC series of power strips on August 1, 2025, which can be plugged in vertically, horizontally, or in any orientation. It seemed convenient because it allows you to plug in a variety of power adapters while minimizing space, so I tried it out.
TAP-SLIM6UC-15BK [Slim Power Strip (6 AC Outlets, A1+C1, 33W PD, 1.5m, Black)] Unique 6-outlet design allows for flexible vertical and horizontal insertion. Equipped with USB-PD charging functionality, it provides smart power supply. 1.5m. Black. | Sanwa Supply Co., Ltd.
The TAP-SLIM6UC series comes in two colors, black and white, and two power cord lengths, 1.5m and 3m. This time, we will use the black model 'TAP-SLIM6UC-15BK' with a 1.5m power cord.
The TAP-SLIM6UC-15BK looks like this.
It has six power outlets, one USB Type-A port for power supply, and one USB Type-C port.
The main feature of the TAP-SLIM6UC-15BK is that the plug can be inserted vertically, horizontally, and even in between. It's hard to understand just by reading about it, so let's try plugging it in.
First, this is what it looks like when inserted sideways.
It can also be inserted vertically.
And it can also be used in a rule-breaking way by inserting it 'between sockets.'
It can be inserted vertically, horizontally, or between devices, making it convenient for use with irregularly shaped power adapters like the one below.
If you plug it in sideways, it will take up the equivalent of 2.5 sockets.
If you put it in vertically, it takes up less space.
The adapter is wide and may interfere with the adjacent socket, but the TAP-SLIM6UC-15BK can be inserted between sockets, so there is no problem.
This way you can use the space effectively and plug in multiple adapters.
The maximum output of the USB Type-A port is 18W. The USB Type-C port supports USB PD and can supply up to 33W of power. When using both ports simultaneously, the total maximum output is limited to 15W.
In addition, the plug part of the power cord can swing 180 degrees.
At the time of writing, TAP-SLIM6UC-15BK is available on Amazon.co.jp for 4,790 yen including tax.
