An extension lead is a power distribution unit consisting of a number of sockets, sometimes also called a gang extension. When an extension is required, they are plugged into the mains through a lead and the sockets are able to individually power their respective plugs. This branches out the opportunity for mains sockets to power more than one device at a time. An extension lead would be used in various situations and environments, including in the workplace and domestically.

Surge protection is a safety feature installed within these RS Pro extension leads. Power surges can occur through natural means such as a violent lightning storm, or high voltage spikes caused by crossing wires or metals. The built in surge protection, ensures the connected device to the sockets will not have a sudden spike of voltage, capable of damaging or destroying the device.

Due the benefits of both extending the length and increasing the sockets of a standard mains outlet. An extension lead has almost endless uses, as does an extension reel. It's impossible to list every use, but as an example, some of the applications listed below are common applications.

• Mobile phone chargers, including those with a USB connectivity
• Household entertainment (TVs, satellite boxes, routers etc)
• Industrial machines and equipment
• Office desks (Monitors, computers, phones)
