3M 4 Way Extension Lead with USB 3 m

A practical power solution for desks, home offices and other spaces where sockets are awkward to reach, this 3M extension lead with USB slots gives you more control where you need it most. With 4 AC outlets and 2 USB ports, plus independent switches for each socket, you can power devices separately and help reduce standby use when things are not in use 😊. The 3 m cable length also makes it easier to position a monitor, printer, router or desk accessories without relying on inconvenient wall positions.

If you regularly plug and unplug equipment, or you want a tidier setup for multiple items, this power strip is built for day to day use. The combination of individually switched AC outlets and the USB power ports is useful for desks, college dorm style setups and general indoor use where flexibility matters. It is also designed with safety features and a heavy duty cable so you can run it with confidence during everyday routines.

Key points

You get a 4 way extension socket with two USB charging ports, which can be a straightforward way to organise mixed device types in one place. Each AC outlet has its own switch and indicator lights, so you do not have to switch everything on together. That is handy when you want to run one item while leaving others off, or when you are stepping away from your workspace. The mounting holes at the back help you keep the lead more stable and reduce clutter on the floor.

A widely spaced outlet layout is also a practical detail for UK use, because it can accommodate larger plugs or oversized adapters without blocking nearby sockets. The cable length of 3 m is long enough to reach distant outlets in many rooms, while still keeping the setup manageable on a desk. When outlets are not conveniently placed, having an extension lead like this can remove friction from your daily routine. And because it is mountable, it suits areas where you want a more fixed, organised power point.

It is worth noting that the mounting screws are not included, so you may want to use your existing fixings or pick up suitable screws before installing. If you are planning wall or desk mounting, check you have what you need for the surface you are attaching to.

Key features

The independently controlled sockets are the standout feature here. The power strip includes 5 separate switches with indicator lights, which lets you manage your connected devices individually. That can be especially useful for setups like a home office desk, where you might frequently turn off a lamp, printer or monitor while leaving other items ready. It also helps you avoid leaving power running unnecessarily.

Safety and construction details are also a key part of the design. The product includes a multi safety system, including a 750℃ fire retardant PC casing, and a children safety door design for added protection around the outlets. Alongside that, the lead uses 100% pure copper heavy duty power cord to support excellent heat dissipation and strong conductivity. These elements are designed to give a more reassuring experience for everyday use.

In terms of build and compatibility, the extension lead is designed to suit typical indoor scenarios. It can be used as a desk power strip for items such as a PC, monitor, printer and other electronics, plus smaller accessories like a desk lamp or gaming equipment. It has also reportedly passed BS1363/A and RoHS tests, which is helpful when you want reassurance about compliance and materials.

For placement, the 2 mounting holes on the back support a wall mounted or desk fixed setup to create more usable space. This is a practical way to keep the extension lead tidy, particularly in workshops, studios and office corners. The 52 mm widely spaced outlets are also designed to help fit larger UK plugs and oversized power adapters without blocking other outlets.

All told, 3M Extension Lead with USB Slots combines flexible reach, independently switched control and a mountable design in one unit for busy households. If you want one power strip that can cover multiple devices at once, with the ability to switch them separately, it is a sensible option.
