Extension Lead 5m with USB Slots – 3-Way Cube Power Extension with 4 USB (13A/3250W)
Product description
At a glance
This 5m extension lead with USB slots is built for one common problem: when your wall socket is full, but you still need to power normal appliances and charge devices at the same time. The “cube” design idea is also a practical one—more compact and easier to live with on a desk, in a dorm, or in a living room where space is tight.
On paper it’s a 3-way UK cube extension lead with three UK outlets plus four USB ports (2 USB-A and 2 USB-C). That means you can run multi-device charging alongside mains-powered items, without having to juggle separate chargers and extension blocks.
What it’s for (and where it fits best)
A setup like this tends to make the most sense in everyday spaces where you’ve got a mix of tech and everyday appliances. Think of a computer desk where you want your laptop, phone, and maybe a router on charge, while still needing a mains plug for a monitor, lamp, or small accessory. Or a home office where devices multiply quickly and you’re trying to keep the desk less of a cable jungle.
The 5m cable length is also the type of spec you notice in use. If the nearest socket is awkward—behind a sofa, near a TV stand, or across the room—this extra reach helps you avoid using shorter, more restrictive leads.
Worth noting, it’s positioned more as a “small hub for charging + power” than a heavy-duty solution for running lots of high-wattage appliances at once. If you’re routinely plugging in multiple energy-hungry items, you’ll want to be a bit careful with how you split loads.
Key features that matter day to day
The USB side is designed around fast charging capability via USB-C. The lead supports up to 15.5W on USB-C (3.1A) and up to 12W on USB-A, with a total USB output stated as 15W across all ports. It also says the ports can detect connected devices and distribute an appropriate amount of current.
On the mains side, it’s rated for up to 3250W at 250V/13A. That’s the kind of figure that makes it suitable for common household items (the description calls out examples such as kettle, hair dryers, and microwave ovens). In real buying terms, that rating is what you look for if you want one lead that isn’t limited to low-power charging-only use.
And then there’s the compact cube body. Measuring 3.5 x 3 x 3 inches (as stated) it should be easier to store or pack than bulkier extension leads. It’s also the sort of form factor that can be more manageable in tight spaces, but it still needs sensible placement—don’t cram it where cables have to bend sharply.
Safety and reliability: what you can lean on
Safety is one of the stronger selling points here, based on the information provided. It’s CE certified, includes a built-in 13A fuse, and is made from 100% fireproof PC materials (as claimed). There are also safety shutters on the sockets, designed to help protect children from accidental contact.
None of that means you can ignore basic common-sense rules (like keeping it away from water and avoiding overloading). But as far as extension leads go, this one’s clearly trying to cover both day-to-day reliability and household safety.

Buying verdict
It makes sense if you want one compact cube extension lead that can cover both charging and everyday mains use—especially on desks, in offices, or in a dorm room where you need multiple connections in a limited space.
It might not be the best match if you regularly plan to power several high-wattage appliances at the same time. Even with a strong mains rating, running heavy loads in parallel always needs common-sense load awareness.
It’s also worth double-checking your real-world layout before committing: while 5m gives you flexibility, the cube size and cable routing still matter. If you need a long run across awkward angles or through tight gaps, you may still find yourself planning the route carefully.
