Tower Extension Lead 12‑Way 1.8m with 18W USB C and Surge Protection 🔌

This tower-style extension lead combines multiple AC sockets with smart USB charging ports to keep a busy desk or living room organised and powered. It includes an 18W USB‑C fast charging port and a compact footprint that helps manage several devices at once, making it practical for home and office use.

Key Points

The tower offers twelve AC outlets and five USB ports, including a USB‑C socket rated at 18W for faster charging of compatible phones and tablets. It is designed to reduce clutter by stacking sockets vertically, so you can plug in larger adapters without blocking neighbouring plugs. The manufacturer states the USB‑C port can charge up to 30 percent faster than typical USB‑A ports for supported devices, which can save time during busy days. 🔌

Safety is prioritised with surge protection and overload prevention built in, and the unit is housed in a fire‑resistant PC shell. According to the manufacturer, the extension lead includes an automatic shut‑off when a dangerous surge is detected, helping to protect televisions, computers and other sensitive electronics from spikes. There is also a master on/off switch for simple control of connected devices. ⚡

Usage Recommendations

Place the tower on a flat surface close to a wall socket to keep the 1.8 metre cable tidy and accessible. Use the vertical layout to accommodate bulky adapters and chargers without the need for additional extension cords. For devices that support fast charging, connect them to the USB‑C port to benefit from the higher power output. For smaller gadgets such as smartwatches and speakers, one of the USB‑A ports will be convenient and efficient.

Consider that the total listed output is shared across all sockets and ports. If many high‑power appliances are connected at once the available power per outlet will be reduced, so avoid running several high‑load devices together. The surge protection helps against spikes, but like all surge protectors it has limits and may not replace other forms of overcurrent protection in more demanding electrical environments.
