This Kenable extension lead is designed for users needing to power and charge multiple devices simultaneously. Its key benefit is providing four standard UK sockets plus both USB-A and USB-C ports, with the USB-C port offering PD fast charging. A potential caveat is that the total USB output is capped, so simultaneous high-power charging may not be possible for all devices.

The USB-C port supports Power Delivery (PD) and can output up to 5Vdc 3A, 9Vdc 2.22A, or 12Vdc 1.67A, depending on the connected device. The total combined output for all USB ports is 20W Max.
The USB-C port may be able to charge some smaller, USB-C PD-compatible laptops, but its maximum output (up to 20W) is generally too low for most full-sized laptops. The 4 gang sockets can power a laptop's AC adapter.
The product description does not mention surge protection. It is recommended to use a surge protector if you are powering sensitive electronic equipment.
The extension lead is rated for 13A, with an operating voltage of 240Vac. This means the total load across all four sockets should not exceed this limit.
The integrated power cable is 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet) in length.
No, this extension lead is non-rewireable, meaning the cable is permanently attached and cannot be replaced.
It conforms to BS 1363-2: 2016, which is the British Standard for 13A switched and unswitched socket-outlets.
Check that the extension lead is securely plugged into the wall socket. Verify that the wall socket itself is working by testing it with another device. Ensure the LED indicator is lit; if not, check the fuse in the plug or the wall socket's circuit breaker.
Ensure the USB cable is properly connected to both the device and the extension lead. Try a different USB cable. Confirm that the device is compatible with the USB port used. If using USB-C for fast charging, ensure your device supports PD technology. Check that the total USB output limit (3.1A / 20W) is not exceeded by other connected USB devices.
Verify that your device supports USB Power Delivery (PD) for fast charging. If it doesn't, or if other USB devices are drawing significant power, charging may be slower. Try charging the device with the USB-C port only, without other USB devices connected, to achieve maximum speed.
This indicates no power is reaching the lead. Check the wall socket connection and ensure the wall socket is live. If the wall socket is functional, there might be an issue with the extension lead itself. Do not attempt to repair.
Setup: Simply plug the Kenable extension lead into a standard UK wall socket. Ensure the total load on the sockets does not exceed the 13A rating. Connect your appliances to the 4 gang sockets or use the USB-A or USB-C ports for charging compatible devices. The LED indicator will illuminate when the lead is receiving power.
Compatibility: The 4 gang sockets are compatible with standard UK 3-pin plugs. The USB-A port is compatible with most devices that charge via USB-A. The USB-C port is compatible with devices supporting USB Power Delivery (PD) for fast charging; otherwise, it will charge at a standard USB rate. The maximum total output for all USB ports combined is 3.1A or 20W.
Care: Keep the extension lead dry and away from moisture. Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth only; do not use harsh chemicals or immerse in water. Avoid coiling the cable too tightly, especially when in use, to prevent damage. Ensure all plugs are fully inserted into the sockets.
