Product description
This compact multi-socket extension lead brings mains sockets and USB charging to a desktop without occupying much space, ideal for home and office desks where multiple devices need power. It also functions as a straightforward UK desktop power extension cord for laptops, phones and peripherals, offering both USB-A and USB-C charging alongside three AC outlets.
Key Points
The unit combines three AC sockets with four USB ports, so you can plug in a lamp, laptop charger and still charge phones or tablets from the same point. An easily accessible switch controls all outputs, which helps reduce standby consumption when devices are not in use. The design includes a child safety shutter and anti-slip strips on the base, improving safety and stability on crowded surfaces. The compact footprint makes it convenient for bedside tables, small desks and travel within the UK, while the 1.5 m cable provides a sensible reach to wall sockets. 🔌
Benefits
This product, Extension Lead with 4 USB Slots and Switch, offers a simple way to reduce cable clutter and centralise charging. The USB configuration includes two USB-A ports and two USB-C ports, allowing modern smartphones and accessories to charge without separate adapters. For users who want a neat workspace, the bottom-mounted switch lets you cut power to all outlets quickly, avoiding multiple power taps when stepping away. The inclusion of UKCA and RoHS certifications and overload protection gives extra reassurance according to the manufacturer. ⚡

Usage Recommendations
Place the extension lead on a level surface and position the anti-slip strips against the desktop edge to reduce tipping risk. For rapid charging of modern devices use the USB-C ports where available, as they support higher current per port. Consider that the combined USB output is shared between ports, so simultaneous fast charging of multiple devices may reduce charging speed. The compact enclosure fits confined spaces well, but if you need more than three AC sockets or sustained high-power draws for several appliances, a power strip with individual switched sockets and greater load capacity may be more appropriate.
