Six Type G Outlets for UK Workspaces

The block uses Type G (BS 1363) outlets with live, neutral, and earth pins. This matches standard UK wall sockets and fixed wiring. So you can power multiple devices from one location without daisy-chaining. For example, it suits desks with a PC, monitor, and task lamp.

2-Metre Cable for Flexible Positioning

The 2-metre cable length offers reach from wall to desk. This reduces strain on leads and keeps cabling tidy. However, it does not include cable management clips. Also, the fixed cable cannot be replaced if damaged.

Surge Protection for Equipment Safety

The product is surge protected to provide better protection to electrical equipment. This can help reduce risk from transient spikes. Because the surge rating is not specified, confirm suitability for sensitive gear. In practice, it is ideal for general electronics rather than mission-critical systems.

Indoor Use and White Finish

The unit is rated for indoor placement only. The white housing and cable suit most décor. It lacks an on/off switch, so power is controlled at the wall socket. Therefore, ensure the wall socket is accessible for safe control.

No On/Off Switch or Master Control

This model has no integrated on/off switch. You must switch power at the wall outlet. This avoids accidental switching but may not suit users wanting master control. Also, standby devices will remain powered until unplugged.
