Product Information

Full details

The Rackhams 4 Gang Extension Lead is designed for home and office users who need a centralized, safe power solution for multiple electronic devices. It offers the key benefit of combining four standard UK mains outlets with two integrated USB-A charging ports, reducing the need for multiple bulky adapters. A notable caveat is that the 2-meter cable length, while sufficient for most desk setups, may not reach across larger rooms without an additional extension cable.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this extension lead have an on/off switch?

This model is designed for a continuous power supply and does not feature individual or master power switches.

Can I use this for high-power kitchen appliances?

It is intended for general office and home media devices. High-draw appliances should be used with caution to avoid exceeding maximum load ratings.

Are the USB ports fast-charging?

The USB-A ports provide standard charging speeds suitable for most smartphones and tablets but do not support specific fast-charging protocols.

Is the cable length adjustable?

No, the 2-meter cable is fixed and should not be modified or shortened.

What does the BSI Kitemark mean?

It indicates that the product has been independently tested to meet high standards of safety, quality, and reliability.

Troubleshooting

Devices not receiving power

Verify the lead is fully plugged into a working wall outlet and check if the wall outlet's switch is in the on position.

Surge protection tripped

Disconnect all devices and ensure the total load is within limits; if the unit remains unresponsive after a cooldown, the internal fuse may need inspection.

USB ports not charging

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the device and the port, and try a different USB cable to rule out cable failure.

Pros and Cons

  • Combined AC and USB power capability
  • Surge protection for connected hardware
  • Reliable BSI Kitemarked build quality
  • Clean white aesthetic suitable for office environments

Cons

  • Fixed 2-meter cable length may limit placement
  • USB-A ports lack fast-charging standards
  • No individual power switches for each socket

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, simply plug the extension lead into a standard grounded UK mains socket. Ensure the total wattage of all plugged-in devices does not exceed the manufacturer-specified maximum load to prevent tripping the surge protector or blowing a fuse. Keep the unit away from water, extreme heat, and direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the plastic casing. Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of fraying or wear. When cleaning, always disconnect the lead from the wall socket first and wipe the surface with a dry, lint-free cloth; avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive sprays.
