Why you can't do without a travel adapter
Different countries around the world use different sockets, so you might find that you can't charge your phone, laptop, or power bank without an adapter when traveling abroad. While in European Union countries you will most often encounter type C, E, and F sockets, in the UK you will find type Gand in the United States most often A/B. Asian countries also use different sockets.
Fortunately, FIXED travel adapters will save the day; you can use them to charge safely all over the world. In some countries, the electrical voltage also differs, but you don't have to worry about that, as most modern electronics handle voltages of 100–250 V.

Will you choose a simple or universal travel adapter?
The FIXED range includes simple travel adapters(designed for use in specific countries) and universal travel adaptersFIXED Voyager.
A simple adapter is most appreciated when you are traveling to a single country and want the cheapest solution.
Get a universal one if you travel abroad more often and need to use it in multiple countries over time. It combines a travel adapter and a GaN mains charger with USB-C and USB-A ports.
FIXED universal adapters fit into sockets in most countries around the world, making them your reliable partner.
Don't forget that you can also purchase a power bankor wireless chargerfrom us.
FIXED Voyager – an adapter and charger in one
If you opt for a pocket-sized FIXED Voyager series adapter, you don't need to carry a separate charger, because the Voyager serves as a combination of a travel adapter and a charger.
We offer FIXED Voyager in several power outputs (30W, 65W, 85W, and 120W). You can easily charge your phone, laptop (including, for example, a Macbook Pro), and other devices with it. It handles type A, B, C, E, F, G, I, J, L, and N sockets.
Overvoltage, overheating, and short-circuit protection, as well as a replaceable fuse, will ensure your safety.
Which travel adapter for the UK and which for Japan?
To help you know which socket types are used in the most frequently visited countries, we have prepared a basic overview for you.
- United Kingdom, Ireland, Malta, or Singapore (type G)
- USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan (type A/B)
- Australia, New Zealand, China (type I)
- Older sockets in Italy (type L)
- Cuba (type A/B/C)
You usually don't have to worry about voltage
In addition to socket types, their voltage also varies around the world. In Europe, you will most often encounter 230 V/50 Hz, but for example, in the USA and Japan, the standard is 110–120 V/60 Hz.
Fortunately, you don't have to worry about this, because most modern chargers and electronics have a universal input of 100–250 V(you can find this information on the device label).
But beware: for single-voltage appliances (e.g., an iron and hairdryer), a travel adapter is not enough; you will also need a voltage converter.
Answers to frequently asked questions about travel adapters
Does a travel adapter work in all countries of the world?
Travel adapters work in most countries of the world, but we recommend checking which type of sockets are used in a given country before traveling. FIXED adapters can handle type A, B, C, E, F, G, I, J, L, and N sockets.
Can I use a Czech iron or hairdryer with a travel adapter in the USA?
It depends on the specific device. In the USA, 110–120 V is used, while in the Czech Republic, it's 230 V. If the iron or hairdryer supports dual voltage, you can use it with the adapter without problems. However, if it only supports 220–240 V, the iron and hairdryer will not work correctly, or only with limited performance. You can always find information about the supported voltage on the device label.
Do I need a travel adapter for Slovakia or Germany?
No, the same socket types as in the Czech Republic are used in both Slovakia and Germany, and the voltage is also the same.
What is GaN technology?
GaN is a modern technology (also used by FIXED Voyager adapters) that allows chargers to be smaller, lighter, and more powerful. GaN chargers charge faster, heat up less, and have more compact dimensions.
What adapter do I need for Italy?
In Italy, type C, F, and L sockets are used. Czech two-pin plugs usually work without problems, but for some devices with a stronger or grounded plug, you may need a travel adapter for type L.
