Verbatim 49545 | Universal Travel Adapter with 5-Port USB

The Verbatim 49545 power plug adapter Universal is designed for UK business travellers and international commuters. It allows you to connect devices in over 180 countries.

Key Technical Metrics

6-in-1 Simultaneous Charging Capability

This adapter allows you to charge up to six devices at once. You can use the AC socket for a laptop and the five USB ports for smaller electronics. Because it supports 30W Power Delivery (PD) and Quick Charge (QC) 3.0 via USB-C, it refuels compatible devices rapidly. In practice, this reduces the need for multiple chargers in your bag.

Global Compatibility with UK Safety Focus

The unit features retractable plugs for EU, US, and UK configurations. It also supports rotating pins for AU/CN sockets. However, you should verify the specific plug type required for your destination. The housing is made from fireproof polycarbonate. It includes safety shutters that require significant force to open, protecting children from accidental contact.

Compact Design with LED Indicators

With a footprint of 70 x 50 x 54 mm, this adapter is highly portable. It weighs only 149 g, making it easy to pack. LED indicators provide visual confirmation of power status. The design does not block adjacent outlets, which is useful in crowded airport terminals or hotel rooms.

Certified Compliance and Build Quality

The Verbatim 49545 is certified by CE, UKCA, FCC, and ROHS. These certifications confirm compliance with relevant UK and EU directives. The internal fuse is BS1362 compliant, a specific standard for UK plug fuses. Note that warranty region specifics are not provided; confirm UK coverage if required.
