Give your cable tray something to plug into
Here's how the top-reviewed 2026 under-desk power strips compare on outlet count, USB charging, and mounting style.
Compare the top power stripsQuick answer: Our top pick for under-desk power strips is the HHSOET Metal 8 Outlet Mountable Power Strip (Best Overall). If you're looking for best budget, the ANNQUAN 40W Fast Charging Power Strip is a strong alternative.
A cable tray organizes the cords running under your desk, but most trays don't come with their own power strip -- you still need somewhere for the strip itself to live, ideally mounted so it's not just sitting loose inside the tray with cords crossing over it.
The main choice is screw-mount vs. clamp-mount. Screw-mounted strips are typically metal-housed and a bit sturdier; clamp-mounted strips skip the drilling entirely and are easier to reposition or remove later, which matters more if you're renting or don't want holes in the desk.
