Mscien 5M Extension Lead with 3 USB Ports
Product description
This compact 5 metre extension lead combines four mains sockets with three USB ports to keep a small home office, bedroom or bathroom organised and powered. It offers a high maximum load for heavy use while staying small enough to hide in narrow spaces, which makes it practical for everyday charging needs.
Key Points
The unit includes two 3-pin sockets and two 2-pin sockets alongside three dedicated USB ports, so you can plug in multiple devices at once without swapping plugs. The cable has an increased cross-sectional area of 1.25 mm², which the manufacturer states improves conductivity and reduces energy loss. There is a built-in overload switch and a 13A fuse in the plug that complies with BS1363/A safety standards. ⚡️
The housing uses flame-retardant material rated to 750°C and features child-protection safety shutters on the live ports. Both ends of the lead have screw-mounting holes so the strip can be fixed to walls, desktops or other surfaces, giving a neat installation option that keeps sockets accessible and off the floor. 🔩
Usage Recommendations
Place the strip where vents and other heat sources are clear of the unit, and avoid running the cable under heavy furniture for prolonged periods. For bathroom use, consider the location carefully and follow any local electrical guidelines for sockets near water. The compact size makes it easy to carry between rooms and to conceal behind furniture when not in use. For users who need to mount the unit to a surface, the screw-mount design simplifies installation.
This product is sold as a general household extension lead and may not include additional surge protection features that some dedicated surge protectors offer, according to the manufacturer. Also consider that the USB ports share the overall power budget so charging speeds will vary with the total load. 🔋
