Full details
The Benross 4-Socket Extension Lead is an essential power solution for homeowners, office workers, and DIY enthusiasts who require reliable access to electricity in locations far from wall outlets. With a generous 10-metre reach and four individual sockets, it significantly increases the versatility of your existing power infrastructure, though users should note that the cable requires careful management to avoid tripping hazards due to its extended length.

FAQs
Is this extension lead suitable for outdoor use?
While it can be used for light outdoor tasks, it is not weatherproof. Do not leave it exposed to rain, moisture, or standing water.
Can I daisy-chain this with another extension lead?
No, it is highly recommended to never plug one extension lead into another, as this significantly increases the risk of fire and electrical overload.
What is the maximum amperage this lead supports?
The extension lead is rated for up to 13A of power.
Does this lead have an individual switch for each socket?
This model features a 4-socket strip design. Please check your specific unit to see if it includes a master power switch or individual switches.
Can I use this for high-wattage kitchen appliances?
It is suitable for most home appliances, but avoid using it with high-consumption items like tumble dryers, heaters, or dishwashers, which should be plugged directly into wall sockets.
Troubleshooting
Device is not receiving power
Check that the wall outlet is switched on and that the extension plug is fully inserted. Also, test the device on a direct wall outlet to ensure the appliance itself is not faulty.
Extension lead feels warm to the touch
Unplug all connected devices immediately. Ensure the cable is fully unwound and that the total power consumption of connected devices is within the 13A limit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Benross extension lead, simply plug the male end into a standard UK 3-pin wall socket and ensure it is fully inserted. For maintenance, keep the cable away from sharp objects and extreme heat sources. When not in use, store the unit in a dry, cool area, coiling the cable loosely to maintain the internal copper wiring's integrity. Periodically inspect the cable jacket for nicks or abrasions; if any damage to the outer insulation is visible, discontinue use immediately to prevent electrical hazards.
