Tower Extension Lead 3M with USB 65W
Product description
A tower extension lead can make desk and home office power feel far less cramped, and this one adds built in charging convenience as well. With a 3M extension cable length, it gives you more reach between sockets and your devices, whether that is a PC setup, a laptop station, or a TV and accessories. The built in USB charging and 65W USB C fast charging help you power and charge at the same time, so you do not need extra adapters cluttering your workspace.
The charger section is built around GaN technology, which helps deliver a high output from a compact USB C port. According to the manufacturer, when USB C and USB A are used simultaneously, the USB C port supplies 45W and the USB A port supplies 20W. That means you can keep your phone, tablet, or other USB devices topped up while still using the tower’s AC outlets for bigger items like monitors, printers, or speakers.
Key points
This tower extension lead is designed to be a tidy power hub for a home or office desk, rather than just a standard multi plug. The tower format helps you organise connections vertically, which is especially helpful when you have several bulky power bricks and adapters. With 12 AC outlets and five USB charging ports, it supports the kind of mixed setup many people run at home, from computers and laptops to TV accessories.
Charging is handled through dedicated USB slots, including a USB C fast charger rated up to 65W max. The multi device capability matters if you routinely switch between work calls, device charging, and everyday electronics in the same space. It also includes surge protection and multiple safety features, so it is built for reliability, not just convenience. Do bear in mind that total output depends on how you load the tower, so it is worth being mindful of your power requirements across AC and USB use.

What stands out
There is a clear focus on fast, practical charging without giving up AC capacity. The USB C port supports a maximum output of 65W, using GaN technology, which according to the manufacturer can charge up to 60% faster for compatible devices. When you use USB C and USB A simultaneously, the power is shared, and USB C supplies 45W while USB A supplies 20W, so the charging speed will depend on which ports you are using at the same time.
On the AC side, the tower extension lead is rated for 13A 3250W surge protected power, which helps you run multiple devices together safely under the stated limits. The lead cable uses thicker 100% pure copper wire, which the manufacturer says supports its total maximum output for powering several devices. For durability, it has a fire resistant PC shell with flame retardant properties, which can help it last longer in real home and office use 😊.
Safety and protection are a major part of the design. It includes surge protection, overload protection, and protection against over temperature risk, alongside a built in safety gate. When an overwhelming surge occurs, power to the outlet will automatically shut off, such as during lightning induced surges, helping to protect the electronics you plug in. The manufacturer also highlights UKCA, FCC, CE safety certification, and notes that key components have passed VDE and BS1363 certification, supporting everyday reliability for a desk environment.
Who it’s for
This tower extension lead suits anyone who wants a single unit for both desktop power and USB charging, rather than a mix of separate adapters. It fits well when you have many items to connect, such as a PC or laptop setup, monitors, printers, speakers, and phone or tablet charging at the same time. It may not be the best match if you only need one or two plugs, because the tower format is most useful when you will take advantage of the extra AC outlets and USB slots. If you prioritise surge protection and a structured, organised setup for a home office or household electronics area, it is a practical option to consider.
