The 4 Gang Extension Lead 5m provides four UK mains sockets from a single wall outlet, combining practical multi-socket power distribution with an extended 5 metre cable for greater flexibility when positioning electrical equipment.

With four UK socket outlets and a 5 metre lead, it provides a convenient way to supply several compatible electrical devices where the available wall socket is some distance from the equipment.

The extended cable length makes it particularly useful in larger working areas and controlled environments where lighting accessories, ventilation equipment, controllers or monitoring devices need to be positioned away from fixed electrical outlets.

The four sockets provide additional connection points but do not increase the electrical capacity of the original supply. The combined electrical load of all connected equipment must remain within the permitted rating of the extension lead and the circuit supplying it.

Why choose a 4 Gang 5m Extension Lead?

  • Four UK socket outlets - power multiple compatible devices from a single mains outlet.
  • 5 metre cable - provides substantial additional reach for flexible equipment positioning.
  • UK mains connection - designed for standard UK plugs and sockets.
  • 4 gang / 4 way configuration - provides a convenient central power point for several devices.
  • Extended reach - useful where equipment is positioned away from the nearest fixed mains socket.
  • Suitable for compatible electrical equipment - including lighting accessories, controllers, fans and monitoring equipment within the permitted electrical load.
  • Useful for organised installations - allows related equipment to be powered from one conveniently positioned extension lead.
  • White finish - clean and practical for professional and general-purpose installations.

Four sockets for multiple electrical devices

A four-way extension lead provides a convenient power distribution point where several pieces of electrical equipment need to operate within the same area.

In horticultural and controlled-environment installations, this may include compatible circulation fans, environmental controllers, monitoring equipment, lighting accessories and other electrical devices.

All connected equipment shares the electrical capacity available through the extension lead. The total load should therefore be calculated from everything that may operate simultaneously rather than considering each socket independently.

Extended 5 metre cable

The 5m cable length provides considerably more positioning flexibility than a typical short extension lead.

This is useful where equipment layout is determined by lighting, ventilation, irrigation or working-space requirements rather than the position of the nearest wall socket.

The additional cable length can also help prevent plugs and connections being placed under unnecessary tension when equipment needs to be positioned further away from the electrical supply.

Route the cable carefully, avoiding sharp edges, crushing, excessive tension and locations where it could create a trip hazard or be accidentally damaged.

Understanding extension lead loading

Four available sockets should not be interpreted as meaning that four high-powered appliances can automatically be operated simultaneously.

The electrical load of every connected device contributes to the total demand placed on the extension lead and the circuit supplying it.

Check the electrical requirements of the connected equipment and ensure the combined load remains within the permitted rating of the extension lead and electrical supply.

Particular care should be taken with high-powered lighting, heating and other equipment with substantial electrical demand. Where there is uncertainty about electrical loading or installation suitability, seek advice from a suitably qualified electrician.

Safe installation & cable management

  • Check the electrical requirements of equipment before connection.
  • Consider the combined electrical load across all four sockets.
  • Keep the extension lead and electrical connections protected from water and excessive moisture.
  • Do not use the extension lead if the plug, cable or socket housing is damaged.
  • Avoid trapping or crushing the cable beneath equipment.
  • Route the 5m cable carefully to minimise trip hazards and accidental disconnection.
  • Do not daisy-chain extension leads together to create additional socket capacity.
  • Keep electrical connections accessible for inspection and maintenance.
  • Disconnect equipment safely before inspecting or repositioning electrical connections.

4 Gang Extension Lead 5m FAQs

How many sockets does this extension lead have?

It provides four UK mains socket outlets from a single mains connection.

How long is the extension cable?

The extension lead has a 5 metre cable, providing additional reach where equipment is positioned away from the nearest wall socket.

Is this a 4 gang or 4 way extension lead?

Both terms describe the same configuration. This extension lead provides four UK mains sockets.

Can I connect four devices at once?

Four devices can physically be connected, but their combined electrical load must remain within the permitted rating of the extension lead and electrical supply.

Can I use this extension lead for lighting equipment?

It can be used with compatible lighting equipment provided the combined electrical load remains within the permitted rating of the extension lead and supply circuit.

Can it be used with fans and environmental controllers?

Yes, compatible fans, controllers and monitoring equipment can be connected provided their combined electrical load is suitable.

What is the advantage of a 5m extension lead?

The longer cable allows the four-way socket strip to be positioned considerably further from the original wall socket, providing greater flexibility when arranging equipment.

Does having four sockets increase the available electrical capacity?

No. The four sockets provide additional connection points but do not increase the electrical capacity available from the original mains supply.

Can I connect high-powered equipment?

The electrical requirements of all connected equipment must be considered together. High-powered equipment can quickly increase the combined load, so suitability should be checked before connection.

Can I plug another extension lead into this one?

Extension leads should not be daisy-chained together. Use an appropriately designed power distribution arrangement if additional outlets are required.

Can this extension lead be used in wet conditions?

Unless specifically rated for such use, mains extension leads and their connections should be kept protected from water, irrigation spray and excessive moisture.

What should I check before using the extension lead?

Inspect the plug, cable and socket housing for damage and confirm that the combined electrical load of the connected equipment is suitable for the extension lead and supply.

How many 5m 4 gang extension leads are in an outer case?

The outer case quantity is 30 extension leads.
