Mscien 1M Extension Lead 5-Way Surge Protected Power Strip

This compact 5-way extension lead puts individual control and surge protection where you need it, making it easy to manage multiple devices from a single wall outlet. The Mscien unit with a 1 metre mains cable is suited to desks, living rooms and small offices where separate switching and basic overload protection are useful.

Key Points

Each of the five sockets has its own independent rocker switch so you can power individual appliances without unplugging them. The 1 metre extension cord gives extra reach from a fixed wall socket while keeping the whole unit neat and portable. Two keyhole slots on the back allow wall mounting, which helps save desk or floor space and keeps cables tidier. The housing is made from fire-resistant PC material and the strip is reported to include protection against over-voltage, over-current, overload and short-circuiting, according to the manufacturer. An illuminated master-style switch shows whether the strip is live, helping to check status at a glance. 🔌

Usage Recommendations

For everyday use, plug computer peripherals, chargers and lamps into individual switched sockets to reduce standby consumption and make it easier to isolate each device. Position the strip so the illuminated switch is visible, this avoids accidentally leaving multiple devices energised. For wall mounting, mark the keyhole spacing before fixing screws and ensure the unit is securely seated on the heads to prevent sagging. ⚠️ Consider that this product provides basic surge protection suitable for small electronics; for high-value AV equipment a dedicated surge protector with a specified joule rating may be more appropriate.
