Power strip Bachmann DESK2 ALU BLACK with 2x CEE7/3 sockets and 1x USB-C 45W, cable 0.2 m, RAL9005

Bachmann DESK2 ALU BLACK is a compact desktop power unit designed for supplying mains power and fast USB-C charging at a single workstation. The unit integrates two CEE7/3 mains sockets and one USB‑C power output rated at 45W, mounted in an aluminium housing finished in RAL9005. With a short 0.2 m connection cable, this model is intended for close-proximity installation on desks, meeting tables or other work surfaces where a discreet, durable power solution is required.

Advantages

The DESK2 ALU BLACK combines standard mains sockets with a dedicated USB‑C PD output, allowing simultaneous power delivery to desktop devices and rapid charging of laptops or mobile devices without separate adapters. The aluminium housing provides mechanical stability and thermal dissipation while the compact footprint minimises clutter on the work surface. The 45W USB‑C output supports high-power charging for compatible laptops and tablets, and the RAL9005 finish matches common black office furnishings.

Suitable for

• Office desks and hot-desking stations
• Meeting and conference tables
• Home workspaces and compact study areas
• Charging laptops, tablets and smartphones via USB‑C
• Supplying mains-powered peripherals such as monitors, lamps and chargers

When it may not be suitable

This unit is designed for close-proximity desk installation and is supplied with a short 0.2 m cable; it is not intended as a replacement for in-wall power outlets or for installations requiring long cable runs. The DESK2 ALU BLACK provides two mains sockets only, so users needing multiple downstream mains outlets or surge protection features should consider larger power strips or systems with additional sockets and protective components.

Key specifications

• Housing material: aluminium
• Colour/finish: black (RAL9005)
• Mains sockets: 2 × CEE7/3 (Type F compatible)
• USB output: 1 × USB‑C Power Delivery, 45W

How to use

Position the power unit on the desk or table within reach of the devices to be powered. Plug the short connection cable into a nearby mains outlet. Use the CEE7/3 sockets to connect monitors, task lamps or other mains devices. Connect laptops or mobile devices to the USB‑C port using an appropriate USB‑C cable; the USB‑C port negotiates power delivery up to 45W for compatible devices. Avoid obstructing ventilation around the aluminium housing during extended high-power use.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure a nearby mains outlet is available due to the 0.2 m cable length
• Confirm device charging requirements are met by a 45W USB‑C output
• Check that two mains sockets are sufficient for your peripherals
• Verify compatibility of plug types with your local mains plug standard

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, place the unit on a stable, non-flammable surface and avoid covering the housing. Use quality USB‑C cables that support power delivery for optimal charging performance. If multiple high-draw mains devices will be used simultaneously, verify the combined current draw against your mains circuit capacity.
