In today's review, we'll take a look at a very interesting charging solution aimed at users who need to have their electronics always ready to use. Specifically, we're talking about the FIXED Charging Strip, which recently arrived at our editorial office and since I've been testing it for a while now, it's time to introduce it to you.
Technical specifications, processing and design
The FIXED Charging Strip impresses at first glance with its compact dimensions of 110 × 51 × 42 mm and miniA minimalist design that will seamlessly integrate into any workspace. The adapter body is made of high-quality plastic with a matte finish, which not only looks good but also prevents fingerprints.
Thanks to the integrated 1,5m power cable, it is not a problem to place the adapter even in places with difficult-to-reach sockets, for example on a work desk, as I did. It offers a combination of a classic socket for devices up to 2500 W and four USB ports – two USB-C and two USB-A – which significantly expands its usability. An inconspicuous LED indicates the power status.

The main advantage of the adapter is the use of modern GaN III technology, which uses gallium nitride semiconductors. These materials allow to reduce the overall size of the charger, while increasing the efficiency of energy transfer and minireduce heating during operation.
The total power of the adapter reaches up to 65 W, with one of USB-C port(USB-C1) offers a full 45W for charging laptops, while the remaining power is divided between the other outputs. When connecting multiple devices at the same time, the power is divided - for example, when using both USB-C portThe power is 45 W + 20 W, and when using all ports, it is 45 W + 15 W + 5 W.
Power Delivery 3.0 technology ensures that the connected device receives optimal power and charging is maximal effective. Specifically USB-C porty support outputs of 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A and 20V/3.25A (up to 65 W), while USB-A1 can handle up to 60 W and USB-A2 offers standard power of 5 W. The FIXED Charging Strip thus represents a universal and compact solution for charging laptops, tablets, smartphones and other small electronics.

Testing
Since this is a classic charger with a power cord, the use of this product is very wide and I believe that absolutely everyone will find something to use it for. I placed the Charging Strip on my desk so that I had USB-A and USB-C porty together with a classic 230V socket and did not have to use sockets under the table when creating reviews. However, you do not have to be a content creator like me to use a similar product. Thanks to its versatility, the Charging Strip will replace multiple charging adapters and you can eventually start carrying it as your main charger.
If there's one thing I really like about the charger, it's its very solid performance combined with minilow heating thanks to the use of GaN technology, small dimensions and a wide range of options. A pair of USB-A ports, USB-C ports and 230V will satisfy almost everyone. A big plus is the support for Power Delivery 3.0, with the fact that one USB-C port It will always offer 45W of charging power.
So if you need to charge MacBooky Air, Hence MacBooky Pro in the 14" version with basic M chips, this charging power will be enough for you without a problem. There is no need to talk about fast charging of iPhones here at all - according to the words AppOnly 20W is enough, so if you give your iPhone a 45W port, you can be sure to charge it at the fastest possible speed.
Maximal performance is actually the only thing that could be important for some users (specifically owners of more powerful MacBooků) limiting and therefore I hope that FIXED will come up with a more powerful version in the future. Otherwise, there is absolutely nothing to criticize about this product. Even with full port utilization, the charging performance is stable, uninterrupted and everything is therefore completely reliable. The heating of the charger as such is of course present, but I must say that it is definitely not anything extreme, quite the opposite. Overall, this is a very interesting piece that is worth paying attention to.
Summary
What can I say about the FIXED Charging Strip in conclusion? Simply put, if you are looking for the ultimate charging or power solution, you have just found it. This product does exactly that and what's more, it does it very reliably. So I am not afraid to recommend the FIXED Charging Strip, as I will keep it on my desk myself. Such pieces of electronics are simply a joy to use.
