{"product_id":"mercury-4-gang-extension-lead-2m-white","title":"Mercury 4 Gang Extension Lead 2m - White","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mercury 4-gang extension lead provides four 13A switched sockets on a 2-metre cable, terminated with a moulded UK 3-pin plug. The white plastic body carries BS1363\/A compliance and a combined 13A maximum load rating across all four sockets, making it suitable for powering multiple low-to-medium draw devices from a single wall outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for workshop benches, office desks, and kitchen counters where multiple appliances need power from a single source, the 2m cable allows the strip to be positioned away from the wall socket without trailing excessive length. The body includes keyhole mounting slots on the underside, allowing it to be fixed to a wall or bench surface to prevent movement during daily use. Each socket is independently switched, allowing devices to remain plugged in while isolated from the mains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combined load limit of 13A (approximately 3,000W on 230V mains) means care is needed when pairing high-draw appliances. A kettle, toaster, and microwave used simultaneously would exceed this limit, whereas a laptop, desk lamp, phone charger, and monitor would sit comfortably within tolerance. The white finish and compact 370mm length suit environments where the extension lead needs to blend with light-coloured surfaces or remain visually unobtrusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax. current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230Vac\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLead length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum total load across all four sockets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combined maximum load is 13A across all four sockets, equivalent to approximately 3,000W on 230V mains. This is a shared rating, not per-socket. High-draw appliances like kettles, heaters, or toasters should not be used simultaneously on the same strip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the sockets individually switched?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Each of the four sockets has an independent on\/off rocker switch, allowing devices to remain plugged in while isolated from the mains without unplugging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the extension lead be wall-mounted?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The underside of the body includes keyhole mounting slots, allowing it to be screwed to a wall, bench surface, or skirting board to prevent movement during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it have surge protection or an on\/off master switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This is a basic switched extension lead without surge protection, RCD, or a master power switch. Each socket is switched independently, but there is no single switch to isolate the entire strip without unplugging it from the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVSL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45313444118795,"sku":"430.003UK","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/430003UK_CO1_59c0062a-1d75-46c5-9139-3ec57316fc9e.jpg?v=1715193024","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/mercury-4-gang-extension-lead-2m-white","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
