2 Metre 10 Way Gang Tower Extension Cable - Surge Protected. Surge protection prevents equipment connected to the gang from being affected by voltage spikes, commonly caused by lightning. This surge protector has a very fast response time, so it can kick in quickly before the voltage spike causes any severe damage to your equipment. If you have a telephone plugged into the surge protector, the phone line can also be protected. An additional telephone cable is provided free of charge. It is possible to change the fuse to a different rating if required. It has a red LED light to show when the gang is switched on and a green LED light to show when the gang is surge protected. The 10 way gang socket is supplied with a base that allows you to stand this vertically, which is great for space saving under a desk for example. It also provides easy access to the power sockets. As the base can be removed, you also have the choice of using this like a standard power extension. This thick jacket helps to protect the cable against wear and tear. This cable can be used to increase the number of UK plug sockets from 1 to 10, whilst ensuring all equipment connected is safe from voltage spikes. This cable has been tested to BS1363/A, BS5733/A, CE and ROHS standards.
