Compare two four-output chargers by their single-port ceilings, their fully occupied splits and what is in the box.
The decision in brief
How the options differ
Satechi uses four USB-C outputs; the Anker B2697 package has three USB-C outputs and one USB-A. Both publish named port combinations. Decide which port the most demanding device needs, then read the four-device split and the cable contents rather than comparing headline totals.

The buying guide
Package and specification details
Match the most demanding device to a port
Anker documents 140 W on C1 or C2 and requires a suitably rated E-Marker cable above 100 W. Satechi limits any single port to 100 W and says it cannot supply the full 140 W used by a 16-inch MacBook Pro. A higher port rating matters only if the device and cable can use it.
With all four outputs used, Satechi documents 60 + 45 + 30 + 30 W and asks for the largest device on PD1. Anker documents 65 + 45 + 12 + 12 W, 134 W in total, with C3 and USB-A sharing 24 W. Port position changes the result on both chargers, so plan which device goes where.
The selected Anker B2697 package includes a USB-C cable. Satechi’s manual says the detachable AC cord is the only cable in its box, although the product-page box list names a Charge Cable. Satechi also needs an eMark cable for more than 60 W on a port. Plan a suitable cable for every connected device.
