Clarea Posted June 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2018 From that view, I cannot tell if that would physically fit. Plus, Oasis already has 3 US receptacles on the desk, so maybe you only need one that does USB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaumD Posted June 29, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Probably NOT. Looks like this goes over both plugs of a standard duplex outlet and doubtful it will fit over the single plug on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpayroll Posted June 29, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Looks like it may be " to big " to fit where the plug goes. We have one that has a regular plug to plug into the outlet and then six usb outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizgal64 Posted June 29, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Oh geez, why didn’t I think of the possible single plug? Ok, any USB plugs you all recommend? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SbbquilterUT Posted June 29, 2018 #15 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Have to admit I have used the Belkin shown earlier on multiple cruises - bought it because it had USB and regular plug in available. Did not even realize it was surge suppressed so need to rethink my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATSEAMYLIFE Posted June 29, 2018 #18 Share Posted June 29, 2018 We use this one from Amazon - has an adjustable plug to any direction and has 2 USB slots https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-SurgePlus-Protector-Charger-rotating/dp/B00ATZJ5YS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1530291417&sr=8-1&keywords=belkin+outlet+with+usb I have that one also. I like it because the plug rotates so no matter which way the receptacle is orientated it will fit. There use to be two models, you want to make sure to get the higher USB output amps. When it says "5 amp" USB output that means 2.5 for each outlet if two devices are plugged in. However, last year I bought this one as it's much smaller and easier to pack. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2HIR9R/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chengkp75 Posted June 29, 2018 #22 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Aren't we so technologically advanced today? Just like my single cell phone signal will cause airplanes to crash... While there have been no documented cases of cell phones interfering with the navigation or control circuits of a "fly by wire" airliner, and hence the lessening of the restrictions on use of these, there are documented cases of surge protectors causing fires on ships (and I've witnessed a couple), including a Marine Safety Notice from the USCG, showing a definitive link between use of a consumer surge protector and shipboard "delta" wiring: https://www.dco.uscg.mil/Portals/9/DCO%20Documents/5p/CSNCOE/Safety%20Alerts/USCG%20Marine%20Safety%20Alert%2003-13%20Surge%20Protective%20Devices%20Onboard%20Vessels.pdf?ver=2017-08-08-082206-293 The danger of surge protectors in shipboard wiring is that your surge protector can be working perfectly fine, even be right out of the packaging, and a ground fault anywhere else on the ship can cause your surge protector to fail and cause a fire. It is a "silent killer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
