Power strip Bachmann 916.505 with 1x Schuko socket and 1x USB‑C 30W

The Bachmann 916.505 power strip combines one Schutzkontakt (Schuko) mains socket with a single integrated USB‑C port capable of supplying up to 30W. Designed as a compact power distribution solution, it provides a grounded AC outlet for a single appliance and a fast-charging USB‑C output for laptops, phones, tablets and other USB‑C devices. The unit is intended for home and office environments where space-saving, straightforward connectivity and reliable charging are required.

Advantages

This model integrates a grounded Schuko socket and a 30W USB‑C charger in a small footprint, reducing the need for separate adapters. The device is built for simple installation and everyday use: the Schuko outlet includes enhanced touch protection and the USB‑C port supports fast charging profiles up to its 30W limit. Its compact form factor and single incoming cable with a plug make it suitable for desktop placement or shallow power strips where one AC outlet and one USB‑C charger are sufficient.

Suitable for

• Charging laptops and tablets that accept up to 30W USB‑C PD or compatible fast‑charge profiles
• Powering a single small appliance via the grounded Schuko outlet (e.g., lamp, monitor, small printer)
• Home office desks or meeting rooms with limited outlet needs
• Travel or mobile workstations where compact, combined AC+USB power is desired

When it may not be suitable

The Bachmann 916.505 is not intended for powering multiple high‑draw appliances simultaneously; it provides only one grounded AC outlet and one USB‑C output limited to 30W. It is not a multi‑outlet surge protector or a replacement for a full‑size power strip when several devices require simultaneous AC supply or higher charging power. For devices that demand higher USB‑C power (e.g., some 45–100W laptops) or multiple AC sockets, a different solution is recommended.

Key specifications

• AC outlet: 1 x Schutzkontakt (Schuko) grounded mains socket with enhanced touch protection
• USB output: 1 x USB‑C port, up to 30W output
• Design: compact module combining one AC socket and one USB‑C charger
• Cable: fixed supply cable with plug suitable for standard mains connection (short lead for direct connection)
• Intended environment: indoor use for home and office settings

How to use

Plug the unit into a compatible mains socket and connect your appliance to the Schuko outlet. Use a suitable USB‑C cable to connect a phone, tablet or laptop to the USB‑C port for charging. Verify the connected device supports or negotiates charging at up to 30W to achieve optimal charging speed. Ensure the total load does not exceed the allowable current for the single AC outlet and observe device temperature during extended high‑power charging sessions.

What to consider before purchase

• Power requirements of your laptop or other USB‑C device—30W may be insufficient for some larger laptops
• Need for additional AC sockets or surge protection if multiple devices must be powered simultaneously
• Compatibility of plug and mains voltage for your country or installation location
• Placement and cable length requirements due to the fixed short supply lead

Usage recommendations

For reliable everyday use, connect one AC device to the Schuko outlet and charge one USB‑C device at a time. Avoid using the AC outlet for high‑current appliances while also charging at high USB power. If you require charging for higher‑power laptops, choose a charger with a higher wattage rating.
