Wipro 4 Way Multiplug Adaptor with 2 Universal Sockets |Inbuilt Surge Protection & Power Supply Indicator | Compact & Light Weight | 6Amp Multiplug…

Its a useful product, extension sockets and 3 Pin plug are of very good quality.

The product, which is an outcome of a strategic partnership with Electricity North West, UK, is good in its build and finish. The price is also quite attractive for what it offers. Basically it is a power extension support (fixed) for connecting a maximum of four small appliances/gadgets (two 3-pin and two 2-pin sockets) like TV, set-top box, DVDs, PCs, mobile chargers etc. The total load on this should not be more than 1500 watts (it is not given in the product page and the seller may do well to update this vital piece of information) and therefore it is not advisable to connect heavy duty appliances including iron box.

The pros of the product are –

1) It comes with 3-pin for connecting it to the wall socket. It means it’s fully earthed or grounded.
2) It has two 3-pin multi-plug sockets. An advantage that any type of plug can be connected to this.
3) It has two 2-pin sockets at the top to which any 2-pin plug, including mobile chargers, could be connected.
4) It has an on/off master switch with led indicator for additional safety and control.
5) Since it’s a multi-socket plug without cord the cumbersome process of managing the cord is done away with.

The cons of the product are –

1) When connected to the wall socket it blocks the switches, both the socket switch as well as the one next to it.
2) In a large panel board it also leaves a very little gap for smooth operation of other switches at the bottom of the board.
3) Since it has only a master on/off switch, the gadgets/appliances that are connected to this plug cannot be switched off individually.
4) It cannot be used everywhere. It’s useful only when a location has a single wall socket but there is need for a couple of power extension.

If there is an absolute necessity to use it in a multi-switch wall panel there are two ways of handling it without trouble.
(I’ve attached three pictures to illustrate this) –

Method 1: Use a socket adapter which gives about 1.25″ protrusion (as shown in 1st pic) and then connect this product. This will give enough room to operate all switches. But the adapter should be quite sturdy and make sure that it doesn’t fall off the wall socket by the weight of this product.

Method 2: First keep the wall socket switch in ‘ON’ position and then connect this product. Since it has its own master switch there will be no issue connecting it directly to the wall socket (as shown in 2nd & 3rd pics). It leaves enough space at the bottom to operate other switches comfortably.

nice one

Love how slim this is. Fit perfectly in my old house. Best of all, has it own switch to turn on/off.
