Tower Extension Lead 5M 13A 3250W surge protector 🔌

This tower-style extension lead combines power distribution and device charging in a compact column that helps keep desks and communal spaces tidy. It works as a surge protector extension lead with USB ports, offering multiple AC outlets and fast USB charging for phones, tablets and other electronics, making it practical for homes and offices.

Key Points

The tower includes eight AC outlets arranged to reduce plug crowding and four USB ports for charging without adapters. The USB set-up features three USB-A sockets and a single USB-C port, which helps when you need to top up a phone and a tablet at the same time. Built-in safety elements include surge protection, overload protection and child-safe shuttered sockets, offering an extra layer of defence against short circuits and current spikes. The tower is housed in a fire-resistant PC casing and uses internal pure copper conductors for improved heat tolerance and electrical conductivity. The 5 metre cable gives plenty of reach for living rooms, study areas and kitchen counters, preventing extension leads from being stretched across walkways. 🔌

Usage Recommendations

Place the tower on a stable, flat surface to prevent tipping and allow airflow around the casing, particularly when several high-draw devices are connected. For charging efficiency, connect higher-draw appliances directly to the AC outlets and use the USB ports for phones, tablets or power banks. The four independent switches let you control groups of outlets separately, which reduces standby consumption and makes it easy to isolate specific devices. Consider the total load when multiple appliances are running at once and note that continuous heavy loads close to the maximum rating may increase the unit temperature, according to the manufacturer. ⚡

Practical Tips

Route the 5 metre cable to avoid signal interference with audio or video equipment, and keep the unit away from damp areas. The tower works well in shared workspaces where several people need to charge devices simultaneously, and it can cut clutter in kitchens where multiple small appliances are used. If using power-hungry kitchen devices, check the combined wattage to ensure the total does not exceed the stated 3250W capacity.
