The Masterplug Double Trailing Socket is designed for DIY enthusiasts and office users seeking a flexible power extension solution. Its key benefit is the ability to create a custom extension lead by selecting your own cable length and plug. A potential caveat is that it requires assembly, as it is sold without a pre-attached cable or plug. This rewireable trailing socket provides two UK outlets, safety shutters, a neon power indicator, and a replaceable fuse.

No, this is a rewireable trailing socket. You will need to supply and fit your own power cable and UK plug.
The fuse rating should match the power requirements of the devices you intend to connect. Typically, a 5A fuse is suitable for lower-power devices, while a 13A fuse is needed for higher-power appliances. Always check the appliance's rating.
This product is designed for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof and should not be exposed to moisture or outdoor elements.
The safety shutters are internal mechanisms. They are designed to open only when a UK plug's live and neutral pins are inserted simultaneously. Attempting to insert a single object will not open the shutters.
'Rewireable' means that the user can attach their own electrical cable and plug to the socket unit, allowing for customization of cable length and type.
Yes, this Masterplug Double Trailing Socket is manufactured to BS1363-2 standards.
Check that the cable is securely connected to the plug and the trailing socket. Verify the fuse in the plug and the fuse in the trailing socket (if applicable) are intact and correctly seated. Ensure the neon power indicator is lit; if not, check the wall socket and the plug connection.
Unplug the device from the mains. Open the trailing socket and plug casing, and re-tighten all wire connections at the terminals. Ensure no stray wire strands are present.
This may indicate a poor connection. Re-check all wiring connections within the plug and the trailing socket.
