Is this safe? Small dehumidifier plugged in with internet modem and home camera system to one receptacle.

Hey everyone, I have a 1-to-3 plug adapter in the top of the outlet for my internet modem and home camera router that plugs via Ethernet to the modem, so they can’t be separated. On the bottom outlet I have the dehumidifier.

Rating for the dehumidifier is 3.5A, modem is 5A, and camera router is 1A.

Just want to check if the amp rating makes sense and the plug adapter as well. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the safety of these depending on what’s plugged into them. The outlet is going into the panel directly.

Thanks.
