Kensington 33117 International All-in-One Travel Plug Adapter

When I travel internationally (not that I travel much), but when I do, I usually take tons  of gizmos with me.

Accompanying me on-flight is my laptop, USB hard disk, 2 sets of mobile phone (one on roaming and other one local to the country where I will be staying), iPod, portable speakers, headphone/mic, web cam, digital camera, voice recorder, chargers for the rechargeable batteries, mini-printer (yes, I tag one along), and lots of plugs!

Why lots of plugs, because for example in UAE they use the British socket, same in HK and Singapore, and Kuwait, etc. Quite the opposite in US. I’m always on a look out for a store like Walmart, so I can buy a plug-converter for my beloved gadgets.

One of my associates travels with just about the same amount of gizmos with him, yet, him being German, he’s got it all planned out. He uses a simple all-in-one-adapter, rather than hauling all those horrid plugs.

Its high on my list of things to buy, but the Kensington 33117 International All-in-One Travel Plug Adapter is a MUST have.

The attached picture describes pretty much of what it is capable of. Like when you were young and you had those ballpoints that would write in many different colors and you’d  choose the color from the top, the same way, this adapter behaves. You can choose the plug you want from the sides and it pops out.

So you’re thinking will it work in Russia? France? Iceland? New Zealand? Ghana? Boliva? The answer is Yes! It will. The Kensington will work in just about 150 countries. It is rated for up to 275 Watts, so don’t be plugging in any high-wattage appliances to it like a Microwave or a hair-dryer.

It will just about connect to all your peripherals from laptops to iPods, etc. I highly recommend it.
