Product Information

Full details

The Kenable 006021 is an 8-gang mains extension lead designed for users needing to expand a single power socket into multiple outlets. Its key benefit is providing individually switched sockets for cost-effective power management and surge protection for sensitive electronics. A potential caveat is the 2-meter cable length, which may limit placement options in some setups. This extension lead offers a practical solution for organizing and protecting multiple electrical devices.

FAQs

What is the maximum power this extension lead can handle?

The extension lead can handle a maximum load of 13A / 250V, which is approximately 3250 watts.

Can I use this extension lead outdoors?

No, this extension lead is designed for indoor use only and is not weatherproof.

Does each socket have its own switch?

Yes, each of the 8 AC outlets is individually switched, allowing you to control power to each connected device separately.

What type of plugs can I use with this extension lead?

This extension lead uses Type G (BS 1363) outlets, which are the standard 3-pin plugs used in the UK.

How do I mount this extension lead to the wall?

The extension lead has integrated mounting points. You will need appropriate screws or fixings (not included) suitable for your wall type to secure it.

What does the LED indicator signify?

The LED indicator shows that the extension lead is receiving power from the wall socket and is switched on.

Is the surge protection replaceable?

No, the surge protection is built into the unit and is not replaceable. If the surge protection has been compromised (e.g., after a significant power surge), the unit may need to be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Extension lead is not providing power to any devices.

Ensure the main plug is securely inserted into the wall socket. Check if the LED indicator is lit. If not, try a different wall socket. Verify that the load does not exceed the 13A limit.

One or more outlets are not working.

Check if the individual switch for that specific outlet is in the 'on' position. Test the outlet with a different known-working device. Ensure the total load across all outlets does not exceed the 13A limit.

LED indicator light is not on.

Confirm the main plug is fully inserted into a live socket. If the socket is functioning and the plug is secure, but the LED is still off, there might be an internal issue with the unit. Contact customer support if under warranty.

Device connected to the extension lead is not protected from surges.

Ensure the extension lead itself is functioning correctly (LED on, outlets working). The surge protection is a passive component; if the unit is damaged or overloaded, surge protection may be compromised. Check the specifications of the connected device to ensure compatibility with the extension lead's protection rating.
