Hotimy 13A Cube Extension Lead 5m with USB ports 🔌
Description:
This compact power cube provides versatile charging for shared living spaces and work areas, combining four mains sockets with two USB-A and two USB-C ports and a 5 metre cord to reach distant outlets. It is a practical choice when you need to power multiple devices at once while keeping cables tidy and accessible.
Key Points
The cube design places sockets on four sides, which reduces plug interference and makes it easier to connect bulky adapters. The unit includes individual on/off switches that control the outlets and USB ports, so you can cut power to unused connections quickly. With a 5 metre rubber-covered lead, the extension can bridge across rooms or around furniture without extra cords. According to the manufacturer, the built-in smart IC in the USB ports optimises current for each device, helping to charge phones, tablets and small laptops efficiently. Consider that the total mains capacity is 3250 W and the plug is fitted with a 13A fuse, so high-power appliances should be checked against these limits.

Benefits
Having four mains sockets plus four USB outlets means fewer wall adapters and less clutter from multiple chargers on a desk or bedside table. The cube format helps maintain access to every outlet even when some sockets are occupied by large plugs. Individual switches help reduce standby consumption by allowing only the required sockets to remain live. The long lead increases placement flexibility for home offices, living rooms, workshops and exhibition stands.
Usage Recommendations
Place the extension on a stable surface using the anti-slip pads to prevent movement during use. Use the USB-C ports for newer devices and the USB-A ports for older accessories, as the smart charging IC will adjust output accordingly. Avoid connecting heaters or other very high-draw appliances simultaneously with multiple devices to respect the 13 A fuse and 3250 W limit. For heavier power needs, consider distributing loads across separate circuits or using a dedicated high-capacity supply.
