Its primary benefit is integrating three 13A sockets and two USB ports into a single, retractable unit, reducing cable clutter.

How much weight can each socket support?

The sockets are rated for standard 13A appliances. Do not exceed the maximum power rating for the unit, which is typically determined by the circuit it is connected to.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty information, as it can vary by retailer and region.

Can I replace the USB ports or sockets individually?

This unit is typically a sealed assembly, and individual components like USB ports or sockets are not designed to be user-replaceable. If a component fails, the entire unit may need replacement.

Troubleshooting

Check for any obstructions around the unit. Ensure it is clean and free of debris. If the mechanism feels stiff, contact the manufacturer for assistance.

No power from sockets or USB ports.

Verify that the unit is correctly wired to the mains power supply. Check your home's circuit breaker or fuse box. Ensure the plug is securely inserted into the socket if an extension cable is used.
