Product Information

Full details

The Pro-Elec 6-Way Extension Lead is designed for homeowners and office professionals needing to power multiple devices from a single wall outlet while maintaining control over energy consumption. Its primary benefit is the combination of individual socket switching and integrated surge protection, ensuring both convenience and safety for your electronics. A potential caveat is the fixed 2-meter cable length, which may limit placement options in larger rooms without the use of an additional extension cable.

FAQs

Does this lead have a master on/off switch?

No, this model features individual switches for each of the six sockets for independent control.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

No, this extension lead is intended for indoor use only in dry environments.

What is the maximum amperage allowed?

The lead is rated for a maximum of 13A, which is standard for UK domestic power circuits.

Can I mount this on a wall?

This specific model does not include designated mounting holes on the rear casing.

Will this protect against lightning strikes?

The integrated surge protection helps mitigate damage from minor power surges, but it is recommended to unplug expensive equipment during severe electrical storms.

Troubleshooting

Individual socket switch is not lighting up

Ensure the extension lead is fully plugged into a working wall outlet and that the wall switch is turned on.

Device is not receiving power despite switch being on

Check the connection of the device plug and test the device in a different socket on the lead to rule out a faulty appliance.

The extension lead is warm to the touch

Disconnect high-power appliances immediately. You may be exceeding the 13A load limit; ensure you are not daisy-chaining multiple extension leads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: plug the unit into a grounded UK wall outlet and ensure the master current draw does not exceed 13A. When connecting devices, check that their total wattage does not exceed the maximum allowed for this extension lead. To maintain the unit, keep it away from moisture and direct heat sources. Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of wear or fraying. To clean, wipe the exterior with a dry, lint-free cloth while the unit is unplugged from the wall socket; do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
