Extension Lead with USB Slots x 2 (2.4 A Shared), 4 Way/4 Plug Extension, 2m Surge Protected Power Strip - White

I've been so impressed with the first Belkin Extension 8 Gang Lead with USB Slots I bought for my home entertainment setup that I knew I had to get a second one for my work studio. I’ve always trusted Belkin when it comes to powering my equipment, and this extension lead doesn’t disappoint. This one is powering all my photographic lighting and motion control filmmaking gear, and it’s been a lifesaver. With enough sockets for everything I need, plus USB slots to charge devices, it makes my setup a lot cleaner and more efficient. What really stands out for me, though, is the added peace of mind that it’s a surge protector. Knowing that my gear is safe from power surges is a big bonus, especially with the added security of Belkin’s connected equipment warranty. If anything gets damaged by an electrical charge while properly connected, Belkin will repair or replace it up to £60,000 when purchased from Amazon—how cool is that? The build quality is solid, and I’m confident that my gear is in good hands. I’ve got no hesitation in recommending this product. If you’re looking for something reliable, safe, and just works every time, this is definitely the one!

I’ve owned the 4-way, 6-way and 8-way versions of this Belkin surge protector (with and without USB ports), and all have been great. They look more premium than most, and if you’re safety-conscious like me, they bring real peace of mind – especially with the different connected device warranty levels depending on which version you choose. The power cables are on the shorter side for what these are designed for. The wider 6 and 8-way models, which have two parallel rows of sockets, are also a bit harder to fit neatly into cable management boxes or desk clamp holders. It’s possible, just fiddly. I eventually found a more niche, net-based setup that works well with my standing desk. There’s also no wall-mount option or mounting holes, which is a shame as it would make placement more flexible and tidy. If you’re upgrading from basic extensions without surge protection or individual power switches, this feels like a real step up in quality and safety – something all extensions should include but often don’t. On the USB 6 and 8-way models, spacing is tight between the two socket rows, so larger power plugs (like external hard drives) can overlap and block adjacent ports. You sometimes need to sacrifice one socket for the sake of the one opposite it. Of the six-plus Belkin surge protectors I’ve owned over the past two years, only one stopped working after about a year. None of my connected devices were affected, and all the plugs and cables still function perfectly. It wasn’t a great sign, but given every other unit has worked flawlessly, I see it as a one-off fault and it hasn’t put me off – I’ve already bought two more in recent days. I am due to send back the affected unit for manufacturer warranty repair or replacement, I will update here to provide a picture of how easy this is / if it is resolved.

This extension box feels really solid and well built. The mention of a £60,000 connected-equipment warranty on the packaging shows the confidence the manufacturer has in the product — which gives me confidence too. I used to run multiple devices on a cheap extension box and never thought much about it, until a couple of my devices had port issues and even got damaged. After switching to this quality box, I feel much safer and worry-free. For anyone who plugs in several devices at once, this is a worthwhile investment.

If Apple made extension leads, this would be it — sleek, smug, and somehow more expensive than you expected. I bought this Belkin beauty because I was tired of my other power strips behaving like moody teenagers — charging when they felt like it, refusing to talk to my devices, and occasionally sparking for attention. This one though? Pure class. It sits there on my desk like it owns the place, radiating confidence and mild superiority over the other plugs. The Highlights: • The USB ports charge faster than a toddler running toward danger. • The build quality is so good I half expect it to start offering life advice. • The surge protection means my gadgets will outlive me in a thunderstorm. • The cable length is perfect — not too short, not too long, just long enough to question all my previous cable choices in life. But let’s be honest… • It’s chunky. If extension leads went to the gym, this one skipped leg day but overdid arm day. • The LED light is so bright I think it’s trying to guide lost ships home. • And yes, it’s a bit pricey. But that’s the cost of feeling smug every time someone says, “Wow, nice extension lead.” Final thoughts: It’s overqualified for the job — like hiring a Michelin-star chef to make toast. But it works flawlessly, looks great, and makes me weirdly proud every time I plug something in. 10/10 would electrocute my wallet again. ⚡️

The unit was good for what we wanted, if you want a wall mount unit you will have to select it. It will provide the protection you need for your sensitive electronic devices. it is of robust construction and is easy to use, as in you plug one end into the power outlet and you devices into the other. one main switch to operate/isolate everything. The unit also comes with insurance if your kit does become damaged due to a surge.

So much better than my old extension lead. Charges very fast, doesn’t take up much space or look too ugly. Generally, a huge improvement and worth the money.

Excellent product.

Does the job. The inclusion of the USB ports is useful although would now like to see USB-C ports also. It's not the longest extension you can get but they're long enough for me. I also appreciate that there is an on/off switch so I can easily turn off everything that's plugged in to it when I'm going away and feel safer about leaving. It also just looks nicer than other extension leads

Nothing

stylish look and ergonomic feel, it has LED indicating if the wall outlet is not grounded, so you get the idea whether it is safe or not. it also has 2 USB A, so you dont need to buy charger for your phone. so you get a charger and a extension cord and surge protect in one.

Good

جيد

I got this after reading lots of positive reviews. As soon as I got it. The switch don’t work. And some times it worked. Requested for return. Never came back. And I went to holiday after a month. And again. Called them for return. Never came for return.
