Power frame power strip Bachmann BM0023845 with 2x CEE7/3 sockets, 1x USB-C (100W), 2x connector modules, 0.2 m cable

The Bachmann power frame BM0023845 is a compact power distribution unit designed for desktop or under-desk installation. It integrates two CEE7/3 mains sockets and a high-power USB-C port capable of delivering up to 100W, together with two connector modules and a short 0.2 m supply cable. This configuration provides AC power for peripherals and fast USB-C charging for laptops, smartphones and other devices in office, workshop or home environments.

Advantages

The unit combines standard mains sockets with a high-wattage USB-C charging port in a slim frame suitable for mounting on or under work surfaces. Its short cable reduces excess length when installed close to the main feed point, and the included connector modules allow modular connections or extensions as required. The 100W USB-C output supports high-power laptop charging as well as fast charging for phones and tablets.

Suitable for

• Workstations and desks where integrated power and USB-C charging are needed
• Home offices and study areas for powering monitors, chargers and peripherals
• Workshops and small production areas for tools and low-voltage device charging
• Meeting rooms and hot-desk setups that require shared power access and laptop charging

When it may not be suitable

This unit is intended for use in locations where a short supply cable is sufficient; it may not be suitable when a longer cable run or centralized power distribution is required. It is not designed to provide specialized protection features such as built-in surge protection beyond standard safety requirements or to replace full rack-mounted power distribution units in data centre environments.

Key specifications

• Outputs: 2 x CEE7/3 mains sockets, 1 x USB-C port (up to 100W)
• Additional modules: 2 connector modules for modular connections
• Cable length: 0.2 m supply cable for close installations
• Mounting: suitable for desktop or under-desk installation
• Use cases: supports powering of laptops, phones, tablets, monitors and small peripherals

How to use

Mount the power frame on or under the desired work surface following the manufacturer’s installation instructions and local electrical regulations. Connect the short supply cable to a nearby mains feed or junction point, secure the unit and plug devices into the CEE7/3 sockets or the USB-C port as required. Ensure that total connected load does not exceed the circuit capacity and that compatible USB-C cables are used for high-power charging.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 0.2 m supply cable is sufficient for your installation location
• Verify the required mains socket type and compatibility with connected devices
• Check that a single 100W USB-C port meets your fast-charging needs for laptops or other devices
• Ensure installation complies with local electrical codes and mounting space is available

Recommendations

Use certified USB-C cables rated for high-watt charging when powering laptops via the 100W USB-C port, and avoid exceeding the electrical circuit capacity by distributing high-draw devices across separate outlets when necessary.
