Extension-lead lengths and socket layouts

Choose an extension lead around the route to the socket, the connected equipment and the environment in which it will be used. Socket count is a layout choice, not a separate power allowance for every outlet. Masterplug separates basic indoor leads from other ranges, so confirm the exact model’s intended use. A surge-protection claim, individual switches or USB sockets should be checked in the selected variant’s specification rather than inferred from a photograph of the wider range.

What to check before buying

  1. Check cable length and socket spacing, including clearance for larger plugs and power adapters.
  2. Compare the total permitted load with the equipment to be connected, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
  3. Confirm the UK plug, fuse details and intended indoor or outdoor environment for the exact model.
  4. Read whether switches, surge protection or USB charging are actually included in the selected variant.
