BEVA 3-way extension lead with 2 USB-A and 1 USB-C (1.5m cable) with individual switched sockets
Product description
If your desk (or games setup) is forever short on plugs, this BEVA extension lead tries to fix it in one go. You get three AC sockets plus two USB-A ports and one USB-C, with individual switches so you can actually control what’s on.
It’s not perfect for every charging scenario, but for day-to-day power and phone/tablet charging it’s the kind of practical multi-plug setup that can genuinely reduce cable clutter.
The essentials
This is a mountable extension lead with a 1.5m cable and three AC outlets. Each socket has its own switch and LED indicator, which makes it easier to stop using standby power when you’re not actively running a device.
On top of the AC power, there are also 2 USB-A ports and 1 USB-C port for charging. The idea is that you can charge multiple smaller devices directly from the strip instead of needing a separate USB adapter.
What it’s best for (and what you’ll notice)
Where it feels especially useful is when you have a mixed set-up: a laptop or monitor on AC power, plus a phone, earbuds case, tablet, or other USB-chargeable gadgets. Instead of hunting for wall sockets, you can place the strip within reach thanks to the 1.5m lead.
A simple example: imagine you come back from work, plug your laptop into one AC socket, then top up your phone and wireless accessories via USB-A/USB-C. With individual switches, you can switch off a socket when, say, a peripheral isn’t in use, rather than leaving everything live.
That said, don’t assume the USB-C is universally compatible with every USB-C charging standard and device behaviour. The listing is clear that the USB-C port does not support devices that require a higher 14–22V charging voltage and that rely on USB Power Delivery (PD) negotiation for faster charging.
Key points for real-life use
The three individual AC switches are the standout “day-to-day” feature. It’s an easy habit to build: if a device only needs power occasionally, you don’t have to unplug it from the strip each time.
It also includes mounting support: there are two hanging slots on the strip designed for wall mounting, with the goal of creating a neater desktop or installation area.
On the charging side, the USB ports are described as using smart charging technology that detects the connected USB device and adjusts current output for optimal charging efficiency. For most everyday USB charging, that’s a sensible approach—just remember the limitation around the USB-C port’s voltage/PD support.

Where it shines, and where it may fall short
This setup makes the most sense if you want one tidy hub for both standard plug-in devices and everyday USB charging, particularly in places like home offices, gaming setups, multimedia centres, or workshops (the listing calls out those kinds of locations).
However, it may not be a great match if you specifically rely on USB-C Power Delivery that negotiates higher voltages for faster charging. In those cases, the USB-C port’s limitation could leave you disappointed, and you may need a different charging approach.
Also, while it offers safeguards and individual switching, it’s still a multi-device power strip. If you plan to run higher-power appliances, it’s worth double-checking that this is the right kind of strip for your devices (the listing doesn’t specify load limits here).
Is it worth it?
Buy it if you want a practical extension lead that combines three switched AC sockets with built-in USB charging, and you value the ability to control each socket separately without constantly unplugging devices. It’s especially suitable for home desk spaces where you want easier access to nearby outlets and less cable mess.
Skip it if your primary goal is fast USB-C charging for devices that need USB Power Delivery with 14–22V negotiation, because the USB-C port on this model explicitly doesn’t support that.
When it makes sense to choose this over a simpler extension lead: if you frequently charge multiple USB devices and you’d rather not add extra chargers, this can reduce clutter and keep everything in one place.
When to avoid it: if your set-up is dominated by power-hungry appliances or you need PD-based high-voltage USB-C charging, you may be better served elsewhere.
Mini FAQ
Does it have individual switches for the sockets?
Yes. It’s described as a 3-gang extension plug with individual switches and LED indicators for each outlet.
How long is the cable?
The cable length is 1.5m.
What USB ports are included?
There are 2 USB-A ports and 1 USB-C port.
Is the USB-C port fully compatible with USB Power Delivery?
The listing notes that the USB-C port does not support devices that require 14–22V charging voltage and use USB Power Delivery (PD) to negotiate higher voltages for faster charging.
Is it suitable for wall mounting?
It includes two hanging slots designed for mounting in various applications, intended to keep things neat in a desktop or installation area.
