5M USB Extension Lead with 3 USB Ports
Product description
A practical way to add extra plug points and USB charging close to where you need them. This 5 m extension lead combines 4 AC outlets with 2 USB-A ports and 1 USB-C port, so you can power and charge multiple devices from a single wall socket, rather than reaching for separate adapters. It is also built around independent control switches, giving you clearer control over what is on at any time.
With the included UK plug and surge protection design choices, the lead is set up for everyday use at home, in an office, or in a studio where multiple devices are common. You can also make the setup feel tidier thanks to the wall-mountable design, and the 5 m cable helps you place your powered devices without constantly moving furniture. 🔌
Key points
This extension lead is designed for households and workspaces where you have a mix of mains powered devices and USB powered accessories. Instead of using a tangle of chargers, you get a compact strip that supports charging alongside traditional plug sockets. The USB output is specified by the manufacturer as 5 V with a total output of 3.1 A, with USB-A ports able to supply up to 2.4 A each and the USB-C port up to 3 A. ✅
Control is a major part of the experience. There are 5 independent control switches, and each socket position includes a bright indicator light so you can see which outlets are active at a glance. That means less guesswork when you are switching equipment on and off, and it may help you avoid leaving sockets powered when you only need one device running. 🤝
It is also built with safety in mind, with a UK standard plug that includes a 13 A fuse, plus safety shutters and a fire resistant PC casing, according to the product information. The manufacturer also states certification to CE, UKCA, and ROHS standards. For an extension lead used daily, those details matter, because they reduce the risk profile when you are plugging in multiple items. 🛡️

What to know
It makes sense if you want one tidy access point for both plug powered devices and USB charging. It suits typical scenarios such as home desks, workstations, studios, and shops where laptops, phones, lamps, and other equipment may all need power nearby. It also helps you manage your setup, because independent switching lets you control each socket separately rather than turning everything on and off together.
You should also keep within the total power limit when powering mains devices, as the manufacturer advises. That is particularly relevant when you are running higher power appliances alongside chargers, even though USB charging uses a separate output path. When charging, follow the proper procedures for plugging in and using the USB ports, since device charging behaviour can be affected by how cables and power are connected.
5M Extension Lead with USB Slots is built for safer everyday use, featuring a UK plug with an integrated 13 A fuse, safety shutters, and a fire resistant PC casing, according to the product details. It is certified by CE, UKCA, and ROHS standards, which adds reassurance for compliance expectations. The wall mountable design includes 2 wall mounting holes, which can help you save space and store the lead more neatly when you are not using it.
Pros
With 4 AC outlets plus 3 USB ports, you can reduce the number of separate chargers and adapters across your desk or workspace. The 5 independent switches and indicator lights can make it easier to manage multiple items at once, without hunting for which outlet is live. ✅
The 5 m length is useful when you need flexibility in where you place the extension, especially in larger rooms or where the wall socket is not near your equipment. Wall mounting holes can also make installation feel more permanent and less cluttered, particularly in offices, studios, and shops.
On safety details, the UK standard plug includes a 13 A fuse, safety shutters, and a fire resistant PC casing, and the manufacturer states CE, UKCA, and ROHS compliance. Worth noting that USB charging capacity is limited by the stated total output, so the best results come from staying within those limits while using USB power for phones, tablets, and similar devices.
Who it’s for
It’s a good fit if you have multiple devices that need a mix of mains power and USB charging, such as a home office setup, a creative studio workstation, or a shop counter. It suits situations where you want to see and control which sockets are active through the independent switch layout and indicator lights. It may not suit you if you only need a single plug point, since the multi plug and extra USB ports may be more than you require for a small setup.
