DEWENWILS 6-Way Surge Protected Power Strip 3M 🔌

This 6-way surge protected extension lead from DEWENWILS offers individual switching and a long cable for flexible use around the home or office. It helps to control power to multiple devices such as computers, monitors and chargers while the surge protection adds reassurance for sensitive electronics.

Key Points

Each of the six sockets has its own switch and indicator light so you can leave some devices connected while turning off others to reduce standby consumption. The unit includes a resettable 13 amp circuit breaker built into the plug and a spare fuse for easy replacement, which helps protect against overloads. With a 3 metre heavy duty cable it reaches further than many short leads, making it suitable for desks, entertainment centres and kitchen counters. Note that the surge protection is rated at 270 joules according to the manufacturer, which offers a degree of protection but may not match industrial-grade systems.

Practical Tips

Place the extension lead where vents or heat sources will not be blocked and avoid running the cable under heavy furniture for long periods. The two screw mounts on the back allow the unit to be fixed to a wall or mounted under a desk, which keeps cables tidier and reduces trip hazards. For power-hungry appliances, consider the combined wattage of connected devices to ensure you stay within the 13 amp limit, and replace the fuse only with the correct type provided.

Advantages

The main advantage is straightforward control of individual sockets which can cut standby use and make it easier to manage peripherals. Bright indicator lights show clearly which sockets are live and the long 3 metre lead provides flexibility when outlets are not conveniently located. The inclusion of a resettable breaker and spare fuse adds convenience when an overload occurs, allowing quick restoration without specialised tools.
