Product Information
Full details
This kenable Travel Adapter is designed for UK travelers heading to continental Europe, offering a simple way to connect your UK devices to European 2-pin outlets. Its key benefit is converting a standard 13A UK plug to a 2-pin European plug, allowing you to charge and power your electronics abroad. A key caveat is that this adapter is strictly for use outside the UK and is not suitable for use within the UK itself.
