Tower Extension Lead 5M 8 Outlets 3250W

If you need more charging and plug capacity in one tidy spot, this tower extension lead gives you that flexibility without trailing multiple adapters across the floor. The Tower Extension Lead 5M combines 8 AC outlets with both USB-C and USB-A ports, so you can power common home and office electronics and top up smaller devices at the same time 🧠. With a 5 m braided cable and a built in surge protector, it is designed to suit desk areas, entertainment units, and kitchen counter setups where reach and protection both matter.

Using a tower shaped layout is a practical way to keep everything organised. Instead of bulky multi plug strips that fight for space, the vertical design helps prevent plugs being blocked and keeps desk accessories easier to access. There is also a master switch so you can turn all outlets off at once, which can be handy when you want to reduce standby use or quickly switch off a working area.

Key points

This tower extension lead is built around everyday practicality. You get 8 AC outlets for your larger devices, plus USB charging slots for phones, tablets, and smaller desk accessories. According to the manufacturer, it supports charging of up to 12 devices simultaneously, which can simplify setups where you have a mix of laptops, chargers, printers, and entertainment equipment.

The cable length is 5 m, helping you place your connected devices without needing an awkward extension further down the line. The braided construction uses pure copper cable, which the manufacturer describes as thick and durable for stable high power delivery. A non slip base is included to help keep the unit stable on desks, bedside tables, or kitchen counters.

Safety features are part of the design too. The unit includes overload protection and child friendly safety shutters, so sockets are covered when nothing is plugged in. There is also a surge protection element to help safeguard electronics against voltage spikes and power fluctuations.

Finally, the master switch makes daily use simpler. You can switch off all AC outlets in one go, rather than reaching for each plug. If you like keeping cable clutter controlled, the tower format can also make it easier to keep things visually neat.

What to know

The mix of AC and USB ports is the main benefit here, especially when your setup includes both full powered devices and smaller chargers. The unit provides 2 USB C slots and 2 USB A ports, for a total of 4 USB ports. According to the manufacturer, USB A supports up to 2.4 A max per output, and USB C supports up to 3 A max, with smart IC charging technology that detects your devices and adjusts charging speed to demand.

You should also check total load before use. The manufacturer advises ensuring the total load does not exceed 3250 W, which is important if you plan to run multiple higher power devices from the tower at the same time. If your devices are mostly low power chargers and office peripherals, you will typically be using a smaller portion of the rated capacity, but it is still worth thinking through your current draw.

The surge protection and overload protection are intended to support day to day reliability. Built in surge protection helps protect against voltage spikes and power fluctuations, while overload protection adds an extra layer if the connected load becomes too high. The child friendly safety shutters can be reassuring in homes with young children, since they cover sockets when not in use.

For cable management, the vertical tower design is designed to save desk space and reduce plug blocking. That means you are more likely to keep cables accessible and avoid digging behind furniture when you need to swap a plug. If you are setting up a home desk, a dorm style workstation, or a kitchen charging area for daily devices, the 5 m reach and integrated USB ports can help reduce the number of separate chargers you need.

It’s a good fit if you want an extension lead with both AC outlets and USB charging in one space saving tower, and you value a stable base plus surge protection. It may not suit you if your priority is a compact, lightweight strip for tight cabinet spaces, since the tower form takes more vertical room on the surface.
