Product Information

Full details

This Masterplug 4-socket extension lead in white is ideal for home or office users needing to power and charge multiple devices while protecting them from power surges. Its key benefit is safeguarding high-value electronics with surge protection and offering convenient USB charging. A minor caveat is the 10.5W USB power limit, which might be slower for very power-hungry devices. It features four surge-protected UK sockets, smart USB-A and USB-C ports, a 4m cable, and wall-mounting capability.

Can I charge two devices via USB at the same time?

Yes, you can charge two devices simultaneously using the USB-A and USB-C ports, provided the total power does not exceed 10.5W.

Are the USB ports compatible with all devices?

The USB-A and USB-C ports offer broad compatibility for both the latest and legacy devices, but charging speed will be limited by the 10.5W total output.

Troubleshooting

No power to sockets or USB ports

Check that the extension lead is securely plugged into a working wall socket. Ensure the LED power indicator is lit. Verify that the connected device's plug is fully inserted into the socket.

USB device not charging or charging slowly

Ensure the total power draw from both USB ports does not exceed 10.5W. Try plugging the device into only one USB port. Confirm the USB cable is functional and compatible.

Surge protection LED is not illuminated

This may indicate that the surge protection has been compromised due to a power surge. If the LED is off, the connected equipment is no longer protected. Consider replacing the extension lead and have the surge protection checked.

Device intermittently cuts out

Check the connection of the device plugged into the extension lead and the connection of the extension lead to the wall socket. Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked.
