STGAROT 5-Way Socket Extension Lead with Retractable 80cm USB-C Cable and 2x PD 30W Fast Charging Ports (1.8m, Black)
Product description
If you’ve ever looked at a messy desk and thought “I just need more sockets without losing track of chargers”, this STGAROT 5-way extension lead is built for exactly that kind of everyday chaos. It combines multiple AC outlets with USB charging, and it even includes a retractable USB-C cable, so you’re not constantly hunting for the right lead.
That said, it’s not a magic solution for every setup. You still need to respect the AC power limit, and the USB charging power is shared rather than independent for every port.
The essentials
This is a UK-style extension lead designed to run several devices at once: it offers 5 AC outlets plus multiple USB ports (2 USB-C and some additional USB support via the stated USB-C and USB-A slots). The two PD 30W USB-C ports are the headline for faster charging, while the retraceable USB-C cable gives you extra reach in a more controlled way than a permanently flapping cable.
It also includes 5 individual switches, so you can turn devices on and off separately instead of powering everything together. For anyone who tends to leave chargers or desk equipment running “just in case”, that’s a practical quality-of-life feature.
What you’ll notice in day-to-day use
The most useful part, on paper, is the mix of sockets and charging in one place. On a home office desktop or entertainment area, you can plug in things like a monitor, lamp and a small speaker, then use the USB ports for phones, tablets or other accessories.
The retractable 80cm USB-C cable is another real-world detail: extend it, lock it into place, and retract it again with a short pull. The design uses a magnetic recess to help manage placement, which sounds minor until you’re trying to keep cables tidy behind furniture.
Where it may feel less impressive is if you expect each USB port to behave like a dedicated fast charger. The two PD 30W USB-C ports share a total USB output, so the exact charging experience can depend on what else you’ve got plugged in.
Key takeaways: charging and power limits
You should treat the USB power and the AC power as shared resources.
- USB-C fast charging: The two PD 30W USB-C ports are intended to reduce charging time compared with basic USB charging.
- Shared USB output: The USB ports share a total output of 30W, so running multiple USB devices at once may reduce how much power each one effectively gets.
- AC outlet capacity: The lead is rated for a maximum total appliance power of 3250W, and the instructions state the connected appliances’ total must not exceed the rated power.
If you’re planning to run higher-draw appliances from the sockets, it’s worth double-checking your devices’ requirements first. This kind of multi-outlet lead is more about everyday electronics than powering something that draws a lot of heat.
Switch-by-switch control that actually helps
Five individual switches let you manage each plugged-in device separately. That can be handy if you’re using the extension lead as a “desk hub”: you can turn off a lamp or secondary device without unplugging it.
It also has wide spaced outlets (described as 2.2 inch wide space) to help fit plugs of different sizes. In real life, that’s often the difference between “it fits” and “the bulky adapter blocks the next socket”.
One caveat to keep in mind: individual switches are great for convenience, but they don’t remove the need to keep an eye on total load.
Safety and build considerations
This model includes a standard UK plug with a 13A fuse and mentions a child-protective safety door to help prevent accidental contact. It also uses 750°C flame-retardant material.
None of this means “ignore limits”, but it does suggest the manufacturer has aimed at common UK home-safety expectations for extension leads.
It’s also in a carbon fibre look style, which won’t affect performance, but does make it feel more at home on a living room or office desk than a basic plain strip.
Who it suits (and who should be cautious)
It makes sense if you want one lead to handle both power and charging in a busy area—think office desk, living room media setup, or a kitchen counter where you’ve got several small devices needing power.
It may not be the best match if you’re looking for a purely high-powered extension for heavier appliances, or if your main priority is independent fast charging per device regardless of how many USB ports you use. Because the USB output is shared, heavy simultaneous USB charging won’t always deliver the full PD 30W experience to every connected device.
Before buying, check three things: your total AC load stays within 3250W, your devices’ charging needs align with USB-C PD fast charging, and you’re comfortable with a retractable cable length of 80cm for your layout.
Is it worth it?
Buy it if you want a practical 5-way extension lead that also covers everyday USB charging, especially if you’ll benefit from the 2 PD 30W USB-C ports and the convenience of switch-by-switch control. The retractable USB-C cable can be a nice tidy-up feature for desks and shelves.
Skip it if your plan is to run higher-draw appliances from the sockets, or if you need guaranteed full-speed charging for multiple USB devices at the same time—this setup shares USB power, so one device may not get the same output as another when everything is connected.
Mini FAQ
Does it support fast charging over USB-C?
It’s designed with two PD 30W USB-C ports, and the text says these ports can reduce charging time versus standard USB charging.
Is the USB power dedicated per port?
No. The USB ports share a total output of 30W, so charging performance can be affected when multiple USB devices are connected.
How long is the retractable USB-C cable?
The retractable USB-C cable is described as 80cm.
How many AC outlets and switches does it have?
It’s described as having 5 AC outlets and 5 individual switches.
What’s the maximum power for connected appliances?
The instructions state the total power of connected appliances must not exceed the rated 3250W.
