The Ultraprolink PowerQ 65W UM1165U is a 6-in-1 desktop power hub that combines a 65W GaN USB Power Delivery charger, two Quick Charge 3.0 USB-A ports, two universal AC sockets and a 350J surge protector into a single fire-retardant housing. Sold in India at ₹3,500 (MRP ₹3,999) at ProAudio Video, it is aimed squarely at anyone whose desk, studio rack or edit bay has turned into a nest of wall warts, travel adapters and cheap extension boards. Instead of three separate chargers plus a spike guard, the UM1165U delivers 2500W of AC pass-through and 95W of combined USB output from one BIS-approved 2-metre cable. For an India-made product in the ₹3,500 bracket, that is an unusually complete package.

This review is written for the people who actually buy this kind of hardware in India: content creators charging a laptop, a camera battery grip and a phone between takes; audio engineers who need clean, protected power for interfaces and monitor controllers at a workstation; work-from-home professionals running a MacBook and two phones off one wall point; and studio owners who have already lost a device to a voltage spike and do not intend to lose another. If you want one device on the desk that both powers and protects everything on it, the PowerQ 65 is built for exactly that job.

Power Delivery & Charging Performance

The headline number on the Ultraprolink PowerQ 65W UM1165U is a 65W USB-C Power Delivery output, and in practice that figure behaves the way GaN chargers usually do in India: it is a total budget, not a per-port guarantee. Plug a single USB-C laptop into one Type-C port and you get the full 65W, which is enough to charge a MacBook Air, a 13-inch MacBook Pro, a Dell XPS 13, most Lenovo ThinkPad and HP Envy ultrabooks, an iPad Pro or a Nintendo Switch dock at their rated speed. Ultraprolink quotes roughly 50% iPhone charge in 30 minutes, which is consistent with what a 20W-plus PD source does on a modern iPhone. Add a second USB-C device and the controller splits the budget, typically landing near 45W and 20W — still fast, but no longer full-speed laptop charging.

The two USB-A ports run Quick Charge 3.0 with a 30W maximum, which covers Android phones, power banks, wireless mics, camera battery chargers and Bluetooth headphones comfortably. Where this matters for pro users in India is predictability: a GaN converter holds voltage more tightly under sustained load than the ₹300 multi-port bricks people usually end up with, so your interface, phone and recorder are not fighting each other for current. Across a normal working day — laptop on one C port, phone on the other, a field recorder and a power bank on the A ports, and a monitor plus a desk lamp on the two AC sockets — the UM1165U keeps everything topped up from a single wall point in India’s typical 230V supply.

Build Quality & Design

Physically, the PowerQ 65 is a flat white desktop block rather than a wall-mounted plug, which is the right choice for the way it will be used. The housing is fire-retardant plastic, and internally Ultraprolink uses 100% copper bars rather than the thin copper-clad aluminium found in cheap Indian extension boards — that is the single most important difference between a spike guard that survives a monsoon-season surge and one that melts. The two universal AC sockets accept Indian 2-pin and 3-pin plugs as well as most international pins, and both carry child-proof shutters, a genuinely useful detail in a home office or a rehearsal room where cables sit at floor level.

The 2-metre BIS-approved mains cable is heavy-duty and thick enough to hold its shape without pulling the unit off a desk edge, and 2m is long enough to reach the wall from a mid-room table or a rack side panel. The unit is made in India, which in this segment usually translates into faster warranty turnaround than grey-market imports. What you do not get is a status display, individual per-socket switches, or keyhole mounts for under-desk fixing — the UM1165U is designed to sit on a surface, not disappear behind one. At ₹3,500 those omissions are fair, but worth knowing if you were planning a permanent rack install.

Features, Protection & Connectivity

The feature that justifies most of the price gap between this and a plain 65W wall charger is the protection circuitry. The UM1165U carries a 350J energy rating with a 10,000A peak surge capability, covering the spikes that follow a grid trip, a generator changeover or a lightning event — the everyday reality of running equipment in most Indian cities. That protection sits across both AC sockets and the USB rail, so a spike that would normally travel down a charging cable into a phone or an audio interface is absorbed at the hub. For anyone running a home studio, a conference room or a small edit suite, this is the difference between replacing a ₹3,500 hub and replacing a ₹60,000 interface.

The AC side is rated at 2500W total, which comfortably handles a monitor, a desktop, a printer, a studio amplifier or a small heater — not simultaneously, but with real headroom for typical desk loads. Connectivity is deliberately simple: no app, no firmware, no Wi-Fi. You plug it in, the six ports work, and there is nothing to configure or update. Ultraprolink ships the unit with a 12-month warranty in India, and scanning the QR code in the box registers the product for an additional three months, taking effective coverage to 15 months. That registration step takes under a minute and is worth doing on the day of purchase.

Value for Money in India 2026

At ₹3,500 the Ultraprolink PowerQ 65W UM1165U asks you to pay roughly what a standalone branded 65W GaN charger costs in India — and then hands you two AC sockets, two extra USB ports and a 350J surge protector on top. Priced against building the same setup from parts, a decent 65W PD charger runs ₹2,000–₹2,800, a genuine surge-protected extension board with copper bars is another ₹1,200–₹2,000, and you still end up with two devices and two wall points instead of one. Seen that way, ₹3,500 is a straightforward saving rather than a premium. Against imported multi-port charging stations that land in India between ₹6,000 and ₹9,000, the UM1165U covers most of the same ground for roughly half the money, with local warranty support behind it. For a desk in Mumbai, Delhi or Bangalore that currently runs on three chargers and an unprotected board, it is an easy upgrade to justify.

Who Should Buy the Ultraprolink PowerQ 65W UM1165U?

✅ Buy it if you: run a laptop plus two or three USB devices from one desk and want a single ₹3,500 unit instead of three chargers; work in an Indian city with unstable mains and want 350J surge protection sitting between the wall and your gear; need a portable power base for shoots, live events or client sites where wall points are scarce; or want one BIS-approved, India-made hub with local warranty rather than a grey-market import.

❌ Skip it if you: charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro or a gaming laptop that needs 100W or more, since 65W will only trickle-charge it under load; need four or more AC sockets for a rack or a full studio desk, where a dedicated power conditioner makes more sense; or already own a good 65W GaN charger and a genuine spike guard, in which case the upgrade is convenience rather than capability.
