Is this a surge protector?

No. It is a tap that multiplies outlets and adds USB charging. It does not clamp voltage spikes, so plug sensitive electronics into a real surge protector.

How many devices can I plug in at once?

Five AC plugs plus the USB ports. The real limit is the circuit: keep the combined load within the outlet's rating and avoid running heaters or power tools alongside other heavy draws.

Will it cover the other wall outlet?

Often yes. The body sits over the second socket on a standard duplex plate, which can block it. Check the plug orientation before you commit.

Do the USB ports fast-charge a phone?

They deliver standard USB charging, not the high-wattage fast charging of a dedicated adapter. For quick top-ups on newer phones, use the phone's own charger in one of the AC outlets.

The wall tap itself. No cables or USB cords are included, so bring your own.

Our take on the Griffin 5-Outlet Wall Tap with USB Charging

The Griffin 5-Outlet Wall Tap plugs into a single wall outlet and turns it into five AC outlets plus USB charging ports, so one socket can run a desk, a lamp and a phone charger at once. It is a compact adapter rather than a surge protector, rated for 125 V. It suits renters and small spaces where adding circuits is not an option. No current price was provided, so compare store prices before buying.
