6 Gang Extension Lead 5m - 6 Way UK Mains Power Extension
Please sign in to see pricing
695
£6.95
Unit price perEstimated delivery between November 03 and November 05.
The 6 Gang Extension Lead 5m provides six UK mains sockets from a single wall outlet, combining multi-socket power distribution with an extended 5 metre cable for greater positioning flexibility.
With six UK socket outlets and a 5 metre power cable, this extension lead is particularly useful where several compatible electrical devices need to be powered some distance from the available wall socket.
The extended cable length makes it suitable for larger installations, equipment areas and controlled environments where the ideal position for lighting, ventilation or control equipment does not necessarily correspond with the location of the nearest mains outlet.
The six sockets provide additional connection points, but the combined electrical load of all connected equipment must always remain within the permitted rating of the extension lead and the electrical circuit supplying it.
Why choose a 6 Gang 5m Extension Lead?
- Six UK socket outlets - connect multiple compatible devices from a single mains outlet.
- 5 metre cable - provides considerably more positioning flexibility than a standard short extension lead.
- UK mains connection - designed for standard UK plugs and sockets.
- Practical power distribution - useful where several pieces of electrical equipment are positioned in the same area.
- Extended reach - ideal when the available wall socket is further away from the equipment being powered.
- Suitable for a wide range of compatible equipment - including lighting accessories, controllers, fans, pumps and monitoring equipment within the permitted electrical load.
- Six-way configuration - reduces the need for multiple separate extension leads.
- Useful for organised installations - allows related equipment to be supplied from one conveniently positioned socket strip.
- White finish - clean and practical for professional and general-purpose installations.
Six sockets for multiple electrical devices
A six-way extension lead provides a convenient central connection point when several electrical devices need to operate within the same area.
In horticultural and controlled-environment installations, this may include compatible environmental controllers, circulation fans, monitoring equipment, lighting accessories and other electrical devices.
Having six sockets does not increase the amount of electrical power available from the original supply. The electrical loads of all connected devices are combined, so the total load must remain within the permitted rating of the extension lead and circuit.
Extended 5 metre cable
The 5m cable length is particularly useful where equipment needs to be positioned away from the nearest mains socket.
This additional reach can make installation considerably easier in larger growing areas, propagation spaces, nurseries, workshops and equipment rooms where fixed electrical outlets may not be positioned immediately beside the equipment.
The extra cable should be routed carefully. Avoid sharp bends, crushing, excessive tension and routes where the cable could become a trip hazard or be accidentally damaged.
Where the full 5m length is not required, manage excess cable neatly and ensure that plugs, sockets and cables remain accessible for inspection.
Understanding extension lead loading
A six-way extension lead provides six physical connection points, but this does not mean six high-powered appliances can automatically be operated simultaneously.
The electrical load of every connected device contributes to the total load placed on the extension lead and the circuit supplying it.
Before connecting equipment, check its electrical requirements and consider the combined load of everything that will operate at the same time.
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 six sockets.
- Keep the extension lead and electrical connections protected from water and excessive moisture.
- Do not use a lead with damaged cable insulation, plug pins or socket housings.
- 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.

6 Gang Extension Lead 5m FAQs
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 6 gang or 6 way extension lead?
Both terms describe the same configuration. This extension lead provides six UK mains sockets.
Can I connect six devices at once?
Six devices can physically be connected, but their combined electrical load must remain within the permitted rating of the extension lead and supply circuit.
Can I use this 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 electrical supply.
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 six-way socket strip to be positioned considerably further from the original wall socket, providing greater flexibility when arranging equipment.
Does having six sockets increase the available electrical capacity?
No. The six sockets provide additional connection points but do not increase the electrical capacity available from the original mains supply.
Can high-powered equipment be connected to the extension lead?
The electrical requirements of all connected equipment must be considered together. High-powered equipment can quickly increase the combined load, so suitability should always 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 where additional outlets are required.
Can the 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 extension leads are in an outer case?
The outer case quantity is 20 extension leads.
