When you plug this iXCC dual USB charger in, does it block the other outlet?

Yes, it is rather large top and bottom. I use it on strips that have side-facing outlets rather than stacked.

No it does not. This is another reason I love this device. It is slim enough to use it in a wall plug and use the other plugin at the same time. Or you can use both wallplugs AND BOTH USB at the same time.

Not if you plug the Belkin in the bottom outlet. You can still use the top outlet without interference from the Belkin. If you plug it on the top, then, yes, it will block the bottom outlet. I've had no problems with it, and the Belkin has its own outlets on each side, so when plugged in the bottom, I end up with 3.

I can only think of one reason why you would want to charge this and another device at the same time by using this device. When you do that, it charges very slowly, or not at all, depending on the power absorbed by the other device.

I don't have a double outlet to test with but I believe the devise will only control the electric current of the outlet it is plugged into, leaving the outlet next to it working normally.

Yes, the other outlet is left open for another grounded plug. The prongs on back mirror the slots on the front as far as placement is concerned, although stacking modules isn't advised.

It will block two sockets, but double what you had. The light is very bright. If you don't want it so bright, you might get the older model with two leds

depends......we have ours on the top outlet and it doesn't cover the bottom one. Now when it's pluged in the bottom one the charging cords pluged into it does block the top outlet.

Generally speaking the answer is NO it doesn't not block both sockets. The remote connection requires the top connection. If another plug is higher than just a simple plug like a lamp or iron, it will not fit below the remote control outlet. I love them as they save me a bit of traipsing back and forth turning lights on and off from my family room to thru the dn/lv room to my bedroom. Presently, I have a LR table lamp connected to the remote and plugged in Christmas lights in my windows below it. Hope this helps.

It can be plugged into a regular outlet, but because of its shape it will cover the second plug outlet rendering it unusable while using the device.

The hub's charging capabilities are independent of the computer. I have numerous devices charging at the same time via the hub, not through the computer, even though they both are connected.

Yes and No.The USB ports are powered and the surge suppress indicator works.I have mine plugged into a GFCI outlet. This device is designed to be attached to a standard duplex outlet using the supplied screw that mates with the screw hole for a standard wall plate. This cannot be done with a GFCI. I use it by being careful to hold the device when pulling cables out.

Yes. It plugs in at same place the charger plugs in so you can't do both, but yes it works cause thats what I use it wth

Hey, Kathy. I have this and it does not impede the charger plug. It's a quality piece; very happy with the purchase.

It can only charge one USB item at a time. The rest of the outlets look like wall jacks.

No, the top outlet is not blocked when plugged into the bottom receptical of the outlet. A great reliable product for home use. The foldin plug makes it good for travel.

No, the charger plugs into a sidemount receptacle and only occupies one plug. You only need one circuit as the draw is minimal. You should check to see how many other devices are on that circuit though - one dedicated feed would be ideal.

No this will not block the top outlet. I plug all mine into the bottom to leave my top free for something else.
