Overview
Anker calls this a 6-in-1 desktop charging station. It sits on the desk on an AC cord and offers four USB-C ports rated up to 100W each and two USB-A ports rated up to 22.5W.
Anker states 200W combined with two to four ports in use and 199W with five or six, and says two USB-C ports in use can each deliver up to 100W. It doesn't publish how the total is split across other combinations.
Best for: Several laptops and phones from one spot on the desk.

Editor's notes
- Laptops up to ~100W: any USB-C port.
- Two laptops: Anker says two USB-C ports in use can each deliver up to 100W.
- Five or six devices: 199W combined, but the split isn't published.
Based on published specifications and typical power needs for each device type, one device at a time. It isn't a guarantee for a specific model, so check your device's own charging specs.

Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths
- Four USB-C ports, each rated up to 100W on its own
- 200W combined with up to four ports in use
- Runs on an AC cord, so it can sit on the desk rather than in the wall
Trade-offs
- Per-port split isn't published beyond two USB-C ports at 100W each
- Cord length isn't stated by Anker
- At 563g without the cord, it's a desk unit rather than a travel charger

References
Evidence notes
- Anker's page calls it “The Supercharged 6-in-1 Desktop Charging Station” and says to “Ensure the AC cord is fully inserted into the charger and the outlet before use”, recommending “the provided AC cord or a standard C7 2-pin AC cord”. No separate power adapter is listed.
- Anker lists six USB ports (four USB-C, two USB-A) and no AC outlets.
- Anker doesn't state the AC cord's length. ChargerLAB's teardown measures it at about 153 cm, but that isn't a manufacturer figure, so we don't record a length.
- Multi-port totals by number of ports in use: “2 Ports in Use: Up to 200.0W Max”, the same for 3 and 4 ports, and “Up to 199.0W Max” for 5 and 6 ports. Anker also notes that “When using two USB-C ports simultaneously, each can deliver up to 100W max output.” Other per-port splits aren't published, so no allocation table is recorded.
- The 563g weight is stated with “AC Cable Not Included”. Dimensions are Anker's metric figures (112 × 76 × 35 mm).
- Anker lists USB-C voltage steps without naming USB Power Delivery or PPS, so both are marked unverified.
- Release month not recorded: Anker's product page gives no date for this model, and we found no Anker press release naming it.
- The page links to stores but doesn't state how ChargerLAB obtained the unit.
- We couldn't check the UL and Intertek certification databases automatically on 2026-10-24; a manual check is still to do.
- No FCC ID is stated on Anker's pages we read.
- No CPSC recall names this charger; Anker's recalls (2021–2025) cover power banks, speakers, coolers and children's products (saferproducts.gov and Anker's product recalls page checked 2026-10-24).
