Product Information

Full details

The 5 Star 6-Gang Surge Protection Extension Lead is designed for home and office users who need to power multiple devices from a single outlet while ensuring equipment safety. Its primary benefit is the built-in surge protection, which shields sensitive electronics from damaging voltage spikes; however, users should note that while it provides protection, it does not act as a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for total power outage coverage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this lead have an on/off switch?

This model is designed for continuous power and does not feature individual switches for each socket.

Can I plug this into another extension lead?

No, it is strictly advised against daisy-chaining multiple extension leads as this creates a significant fire hazard.

What is the cable length?

The integrated cable is 2 meters long.

Will this protect my PC during a lightning storm?

While it provides surge protection, it is always safest to unplug sensitive electronics completely during severe electrical storms.

Can this be wall-mounted?

While it is primarily designed to sit on a floor or desk, many users mount them using the rear keyhole slots if available, though checking the underside of your specific unit is recommended.

What is the maximum amperage?

Please check the label on the bottom of the lead for the specific maximum load rating to ensure your appliances are compatible.

Troubleshooting

Connected device not receiving power

Check that the main wall socket is switched on and that the plug is inserted firmly.

Extension lead feels warm to the touch

Unplug some devices to reduce the total load and ensure the lead is not covered by blankets or carpets.

Unit stops working after a power spike

If the surge protection has been triggered by a massive surge, the internal fuse may be blown; check if the unit needs replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects expensive electronics from power spikes
  • Provides ample capacity for 6 devices simultaneously
  • Includes a practical 2m cable for versatile placement
  • Sturdy build quality for long-term use

Cons

  • No individual power switches for each socket
  • Does not protect against total power loss
  • Larger power adapters may block adjacent sockets
  • White plastic can show dust and grime over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, simply plug the extension lead into a standard wall socket. Ensure that the total current draw of all devices connected to the lead does not exceed the manufacturer's recommended capacity. To maintain the device, keep it in a dry, well-ventilated area and avoid running the cable under heavy furniture, which can cause internal wire damage. If the unit gathers dust, wipe it down with a dry, lint-free cloth; never use water or liquid cleaners, and always disconnect from the power source before cleaning.
