Tessan
TESSAN makes power strips, wall outlet extenders, travel adapters and charging stations — the unglamorous hardware that decides whether a desk, a bedside table or a suitcase actually works.
Its signature is the ultra-thin flat plug, around 0.35 inches deep, which lets furniture sit flush against a wall instead of standing off it. The range also covers surge-protected towers, desk clamp strips and universal adapters for travel.
What TESSAN is good for
- Tight spaces — flat plugs behind beds, sofas and desks where a standard plug will not fit
- Surge protection — towers rated in joules, which matters when power returns after a brownout
- Overseas travel — universal adapters covering EU, UK, AU and US outlets
- Desk setups — clamp-mounted strips and charging stations that keep cables off the floor
Worth knowing before you buy: adapter or converter
This is the mistake that destroys equipment. A travel adapter changes the shape of the plug only. It does not change the voltage. The Philippines runs 220V, while the United States, Japan and Canada run around 110V.
Plugging a 110V-only appliance into a 220V socket through an adapter will damage it, sometimes immediately. Check the label on your device — most modern chargers, laptops and phone adapters say “100-240V” and are safe worldwide. Hair dryers, curling irons and small kitchen appliances often are not.

Surge protection in joules
A higher joule rating absorbs more energy before failing. It matters here because the surge when grid power returns after an outage is what damages electronics, not the outage itself. For a desk with a computer on it, surge protection is worth the difference in price.
All TESSAN products sold here carry a 1-year warranty and ship nationwide across the Philippines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a travel adapter change the voltage?
No, and this is the mistake that destroys equipment. An adapter only changes the shape of the plug. The Philippines runs 220V while the US, Japan and Canada run around 110V. Plugging a 110V-only appliance into a 220V socket through an adapter will damage it, often immediately.
How do I know if my device works in the Philippines?
Read the label on the device or its charger. If it says 100-240V, it works worldwide and only needs a plug adapter. If it says 110V or 120V only, it needs a voltage converter, not an adapter. Most laptops, phone chargers and camera chargers are 100-240V; hair dryers and small kitchen appliances often are not.
Why does the joule rating on a surge protector matter?
A higher joule rating absorbs more energy before the protection fails. It matters here because the surge when grid power returns after a brownout is what damages electronics, not the outage itself. For anything with a computer attached, surge protection is worth the price difference.
What is the point of a flat plug?
It lets furniture sit flush against the wall. A standard plug protrudes far enough to stop a bed, sofa or desk pushing back properly, and bending the cable to fit damages it over time. TESSAN flat plugs are around 0.35 inches deep.
Can I plug a power strip into another power strip?
No. Daisy-chaining strips overloads the wiring behind the socket and is a genuine fire risk. If one socket needs to serve many devices, use a single strip with enough outlets rather than chaining several together.
Which do I need — a power strip or an outlet extender?
An outlet extender plugs directly into the wall with no cord, which suits a bedside or a kitchen counter where the socket is already close. A power strip has a cord and suits a desk or entertainment centre where the socket is several feet away.
Is there warranty support in the Philippines?
Yes. TESSAN products bought from VMIDirect carry a 1-year warranty handled locally, with nationwide shipping.
What does cETLus certification mean on a TESSAN power strip?
It means the product has been independently tested to US and Canadian electrical safety standards by a certification body such as Intertek, covering things like overload, short-circuit and fire resistance. It's a stricter third-party check than the FCC and RoHS marking some other TESSAN models carry instead.
Do retractable USB cables wear out faster than a fixed cable?
The retraction mechanism is an extra moving part, so it can fail before a simple fixed cable does under heavy daily use. The PS10US00's retractable cable is rated at 20W PD, which suits phones and earbuds but is not meant for laptop charging.
