A practical mains extension for home and office that centralises AC sockets and USB charging. Keep a cluttered desk organised and top up phones or tablets faster with the smart USB ports, Addtam Extension Lead. Does the safety, layout and charging capacity suit a busy household or shared workspace?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Power Capacity: Six AC outlets with a combined maximum load of 3250W plus five USB charging ports
- • Best for: Home workers, small offices and shared desks needing multiple sockets and USB charging
- • Not ideal for: Users who need laptop-class USB-C power delivery (machines requiring 14–22V)
Six AC sockets suit a mix of plug types while five USB ports handle phones and tablets. Built-in surge and overload protection together with fire-resistant housing focus on safer everyday use.
Faster charging for phones and tablets - with five USB ports including USB‑C 3A
Smart charging circuitry detects connected devices and allocates current accordingly; each USB‑A port can supply up to 2.4A while the USB‑C port delivers up to 3A, with a combined USB output limited to 5A.
Multiple mobile devices can be charged simultaneously at sensible speeds without manual switching, so a phone and tablet can reach usable charge levels quickly during the working day.
Enhanced protection against faults - with surge, overload and short‑circuit safeguards
Protection circuitry guards against over‑voltage, over‑current, overload and short circuits. The housing uses fire‑resistant PC material rated to withstand high temperatures (1382°F).
Connected electronics are less likely to sustain damage from spikes or wiring faults, making the unit a safer choice for living spaces and busy offices.
Tidy, stable desktop arrangement - thanks to a three‑side layout, anti‑slip pads and braided 1.6m cable
A three‑side outlet arrangement spaces plugs to reduce crowding while two non‑slip rubber pads hold the strip in place; the 1.6m braided cable is pure copper and rated for 13A current.
Plugs fit more easily without blocking neighbouring sockets and the durable cable reaches distant sockets without tugging or kinking.
