4-Way Extension Lead 1.8m with 4 USB and Surge Protector 🔌

This compact power strip combines four widely spaced AC outlets with four USB ports (two USB-C and two USB-A) to keep a desk or kitchen worktop organised while powering multiple devices at once. It is aimed at home and office use where several chargers and plugs need to coexist safely and neatly, offering surge protection and individual switches to control each outlet.

Key Points

The unit supports up to eight devices simultaneously, pairing traditional sockets with modern charging ports so phones, tablets, laptops and appliances can be connected at the same time. Individual on/off switches for each AC outlet let you cut power to unused devices, which can help reduce standby consumption and make it easier to isolate a single appliance without unplugging sockets. Two LED indicators make it simple to check the strip’s power and surge status at a glance.

The braided 1.8 metre cable gives a durable, tangle-resistant feed to the main wall socket and allows the strip to reach distant outlets without trailing cords across walkways. Two mounting keyhole slots on the rear permit secure wall or undershelf installation to save desktop space and reduce clutter. A childproof safety shutter on each AC outlet prevents accidental insertion of foreign objects.

Benefits

Built-in surge and overload protection offers an extra layer of defence for connected electronics, helping to reduce the risk of damage during voltage spikes according to the manufacturer. The combination of USB-C and USB-A ports means fewer separate chargers are required, freeing up wall space and reducing the number of power bricks on view. The separate switches allow selective power control which is practical when using devices with differing power needs or when you want to leave essential equipment running while cutting others.

A braided exterior makes the cable more resistant to wear than standard PVC, offering better longevity in busy environments. The inclusion of mounting slots helps maintain a neater appearance and prevents accidental disconnection, for example when used behind a desk or under a counter.

Usage Recommendations

Place the strip where airflow is adequate and avoid covering it with fabrics or papers to prevent heat build-up. If using high-draw appliances alongside charging ports, be mindful of the combined current draw to avoid tripping circuits. Consider mounting the unit beneath a shelf or on a wall using the keyhole slots to keep desks and counters clear and reduce cable tangling.

Note that while the strip includes several protective features, it may not be the best option for powering heavy-duty appliances that require dedicated circuits. For peace of mind the manufacturer provides a six-month warranty and customer support for service queries.
