Mscien 4 Way 5m Extension Lead with 1 USB C 🔌
Product description
This compact 4-gang extension lead combines mains sockets with USB charging to keep multiple devices powered at a desk or bedside. It suits small home offices, dorms and living rooms, offering a long 5 m cable for flexible placement and easy wall or desk mounting, while also reducing cable clutter.
Key Points
The strip provides four UK mains sockets plus three USB ports, including one USB-C slot, which lets you charge phones, tablets and accessories alongside powered devices. The integrated on/off switch shows operating status and the plug includes a 13A fuse meeting BS1363/A standards, offering basic safety features for everyday use. The USB ports use smart charging technology to adapt the output to connected devices, although the USB-C port does not support laptops that require higher voltages such as many MacBook models. ⚡️
This unit is supplied with a longer-than-average 5 m cable, which makes it easier to reach distant sockets without the need for extra wires. Mounting holes at both ends allow secure attachment to walls or desks, so the strip can function as a neat charging station behind a TV or beside a work surface. 🔧

Usage Recommendations
Place the extension strip where the long cable can be routed safely to an existing wall socket, avoiding tight bends and walkways. Use the mounting fixation to secure it horizontally under a desk or vertically along a wall to keep plugs accessible and cables tidy. When charging multiple devices from the USB ports, spread high-draw devices between the mains sockets and USB outputs to avoid approaching the maximum rated load. 🔌
Positive Aspects
The combination of four mains sockets and three USB outlets reduces the need for separate chargers and adapters, saving space on crowded desks. The visible power switch helps quickly isolate all connected devices, which can be convenient overnight or when cleaning. Consider that while the USB-C port offers modern connectivity, it is limited to standard 5V charging and will not provide the higher voltage required by some laptops according to the manufacturer, so check device requirements before relying on it for larger power needs.
