FAQs

Does this extension lead have surge protection?

No, this Kenable extension lead does not feature surge protection. It is designed for basic power distribution and individual switching, not for protecting sensitive electronics from voltage spikes.

What is the maximum power rating for this extension lead?

While specific wattage is not detailed, it is designed for typical home and office electronics. Always ensure the total power consumption of your connected devices does not exceed the mains outlet's capacity and the extension lead's limits. Avoid connecting high-power appliances like kettles or heaters.

Can I use this outdoors?

No, this extension lead is designed for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof and should be kept away from moisture and damp environments.

How do I mount this extension lead?

The extension lead features keyhole mounting slots on the back. You can use appropriate screws (not included) to affix it to a wall or desk for a more permanent and tidy installation.

What is the cable length?

The cable length for this extension lead is 1 meter.

Can I connect a surge protector to one of the sockets?

Yes, you can connect a surge protector to one of the switched sockets if you require surge protection for a specific device, but this does not protect all connected devices.

Troubleshooting

No power to any socket

Ensure the extension lead is securely plugged into a working mains socket. Check if the main power switch on the extension lead itself (if present) is turned on. Test the mains socket with another device.

One or more sockets not working

Verify that the individual switch for that specific socket is in the 'on' position. Try plugging a different known working device into the non-functional socket to isolate the issue. Ensure the connected appliance is functional.

Extension lead feels warm

Unplug the extension lead immediately and disconnect all appliances. Check if the total power load exceeds the maximum recommended rating. If the lead is damaged or feels excessively hot, discontinue use and replace it.
