Typical Applications:

Extension leads are power distribution units that can have several sockets to allow multiple plugs to run power to different devices. The cable is plugged into the mains through the extension lead, while the sockets can individually power the plugs that are plugged into the sockets. This type of equipment is ideal for extending the length of cable and increasing the number of sockets from a standard mains outlet to allow for better power management of several devices at any one time. The can be used in a domestic environment as well as in other areas like the workplace or within industry to power a range of products like:
Mobile phone chargers, including those with a USB connectivity
Household entertainment (TVs, satellite boxes, routers etc)
Industrial machines and equipment
Office desks (Monitors, computers, phones)
Any electrical device needed to be powered by the mains

FAQs
What are Surge Protection Devices?
These types of devices can protect electronic systems and equipment from the effects of energy surges from various factors including atmospheric conditions, switching conditions or faults.

What are extension leads?
An extension lead is a power distribution unit consisting of a number of sockets, sometimes also called a gang extension. When an extension is required, they are plugged into the mains through a lead and the sockets are able to individually power their respective plugs. This branches out the opportunity for mains sockets to power more than one device at a time. An extension lead would be used in various situations and environments, including in the workplace and domestically.
