- Cable length: The 5 m lead gives extra reach. Check that it suits the distance between the wall socket and your setup.
- Load rating: The stated 13A, 250V, 3250W rating should suit the combined load of your connected items.
- Separate switching: Individual switches let you turn off sockets one by one. Check whether that suits the way you plan to manage your devices.
- Socket spacing: Wider spacing is useful if you use larger plugs or transformers, so compare the outlet layout with your plug shapes.
What Else You May Need
Check the plug shape and electrical setup you plan to use it with, and make sure the connected devices suit the stated load rating. If you intend to mount it on a desk or wall, confirm that the fixing arrangement works for your chosen location.
