Product Information

Full details

The Masterplug 6 Socket Extension Lead is designed for homeowners and office professionals who need to manage multiple power connections and mobile device charging from a single location. Its primary benefit is the combination of six AC outlets with dual USB ports, allowing for a versatile power hub; however, users should note that the 1-metre cable length may limit placement options in larger rooms.

FAQs

Can I use this extension lead for heavy kitchen appliances like a kettle?

While it can handle standard appliances, it is generally recommended to plug high-wattage items like kettles or heaters directly into a wall socket.

Is the USB output fast-charging?

The shared 2.1A output provides standard charging speeds, which is sufficient for most smartphones and tablets but may not support 'fast-charging' protocols.

Can the USB ports charge a laptop?

No, the USB ports are designed for smaller devices like phones and tablets; please use the AC outlets with your laptop's original power brick.

Are the mounting screws included?

No, mounting screws are not included, as the required hardware depends on your specific wall material (e.g., drywall, wood, or brick).

What happens if I exceed the power limit?

Exceeding the maximum power capacity can cause the unit to overheat; ensure the total wattage of all plugged-in devices does not exceed the manufacturer's rating.

Troubleshooting

Power indicator light is off

Check that the wall socket is switched on and that the plug is securely inserted.

USB devices charging slowly

Ensure that only one device is connected to the USB ports or disconnect other high-draw devices to maximize the shared 2.1A current.

Plug feels loose in the socket

Ensure the plug is pushed firmly into the socket; if the problem persists, check the socket for debris or damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports up to six high-voltage devices
  • Dual USB ports eliminate the need for separate charging bricks
  • Safety shutters provide essential protection
  • Wall-mounting capability aids in cable management
  • Clear power indicator light for quick status checks

Cons

  • 1-metre cable may be too short for distant outlets
  • 2.1A USB output is shared, slowing charge times if both ports are used
  • Does not feature individual socket switches
  • Not intended for heavy-duty industrial power tools

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Masterplug, simply plug the lead into a standard wall outlet. If wall mounting, use the designated slots on the underside of the unit with appropriate screws for your wall type. The lead is compatible with all standard UK plug appliances. For care, ensure the unit is kept away from moisture and direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the cable for any signs of fraying or damage. To clean, use a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth; never submerge the unit in water or use harsh chemical solvents.
