Compact extension lead with two AC outlets and four USB charging ports including a 3A USB-C. Surge protection and CE/RoHS certification help protect mains-connected devices.
Faster Charging – Thanks to USB-C 3A and smart charging technology
Smart charging circuitry detects connected USB devices and adjusts current output, allocating up to 3A to the USB-C port and up to 2.4A to each USB-A port, with a combined USB output of 4.5A.
Phones and tablets receive closer-to-maximum safe current for quicker everyday top-ups, reducing the time spent waiting for devices to reach usable charge levels.
Safer Mains Use – With surge protection, certifications and fire-resistant housing
Surge protection circuitry prevents over-current, over-charge, short circuit and overheating; CE and RoHS certifications confirm compliance and the housing is made from fire-resistant PC material rated to 1382℉.
Mains-connected kit benefits from multiple protections, while the robust casing and certified safety measures reduce common electrical risks in the home.
Long Reach and Durability – With a 5m braided pure-copper cord rated to 13A
A 5-metre braided cable uses pure copper conductors for improved current carrying capacity (13A) and the braided sheath resists deformation and wear compared with standard cables.
Generous cable length reaches distant sockets and the durable braid keeps the lead tangle-free and resilient in everyday use around desks and living areas.
