Product Information

Full details

The Rackhams Tower 10 Gang Extension Lead is designed for home office users and professionals looking to declutter their workspaces while powering multiple devices simultaneously. Its primary benefit is the space-saving vertical orientation that consolidates ten AC outlets and two USB ports into a compact footprint, though users should note that the tower's height may not fit under lower-profile furniture.

FAQs

Does this tower feature individual switches for each outlet?

No, this model features a single master power switch that controls all 10 outlets and the USB ports simultaneously.

Is the surge protection indicator light separate from the power switch?

The neon indicator integrated into the main switch confirms that the unit is receiving power and the protection circuitry is active.

Can I use this for high-wattage kitchen appliances?

This unit is designed primarily for home office equipment; avoid plugging in high-draw heating appliances to prevent overloading the circuit.

How long is the power cable?

The unit includes a 2-metre long power cable.

What are the physical dimensions of the tower?

The tower measures 140mm in width, 413mm in height, and 140mm in depth.

Are the USB ports suitable for data transfer?

No, the USB ports are intended solely for power delivery and charging mobile devices.

Troubleshooting

The neon indicator light is not illuminated.

Check that the plug is fully inserted into the wall outlet and that the wall switch is turned on.

USB devices are charging slowly.

Verify the charging cable being used is in good condition; if issues persist, ensure the total power draw on the USB ports is within reasonable limits for standard peripheral charging.

Power is cut to all devices.

The unit's internal circuit breaker may have tripped due to a surge or overload; unplug excess devices and wait a few minutes before switching back on.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High capacity with 10 total sockets
  • Space-saving vertical tower design
  • Includes dual USB charging ports
  • Built-in surge protection for safety
  • Long 2-metre cable for improved reach

Cons

  • Tower height (413mm) may be too tall for some tight desk enclosures
  • No individual switches per socket
  • White color may show dust more than darker finishes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the tower, place the unit on a stable, dry surface within 2 metres of your wall outlet. Plug the lead into the mains and ensure the neon indicator illuminates upon flipping the master switch. For maintenance, periodically dust the base and the area around the sockets to prevent debris buildup. Keep the unit away from liquid sources and avoid daisy-chaining it with other extension leads to maintain surge protection efficiency. When not in use for extended periods, simply toggle the master switch to 'Off' to minimize power consumption.
