Unit price perEstimated delivery between November 01 and November 03.
The 6 Gang Extension Lead 2m provides six UK mains sockets from a single wall outlet, offering a practical power distribution solution for lighting, ventilation, environmental control and other compatible electrical equipment.
With six UK socket outlets and a 2 metre power cable, the extension lead allows several compatible devices to be connected from one conveniently positioned mains supply.
The 2m cable provides useful additional reach while remaining manageable within equipment installations, work areas and controlled environments.
It is particularly useful where several lower-powered devices need to be positioned within the same area, although the combined electrical load of everything connected must always remain within the extension lead and supply circuit's permitted rating.
Why choose a 6 Gang 2m Extension Lead?
- Six UK socket outlets - connect multiple compatible devices from a single mains outlet.
- 2 metre cable - provides useful reach between the wall socket and connected equipment.
- UK mains connection - designed for use with standard UK plugs and sockets.
- Practical power distribution - useful where several pieces of electrical equipment are positioned in the same area.
- Suitable for a wide range of equipment - can be used with compatible lighting, controllers, fans, pumps and other electrical devices within its permitted load.
- Compact alternative to multiple wall sockets - provides six connection points from one supply.
- Useful for organised installations - allows related equipment to be supplied from a conveniently positioned extension lead.
- White finish - clean, neutral appearance suitable for professional and general-purpose installations.
Six sockets for multiple electrical devices
A six-way extension lead is particularly useful where several electrical devices need mains power in the same working area.
In horticultural and controlled-environment installations this can include compatible controllers, circulation fans, monitoring equipment, lighting accessories and other electrical devices.
The six sockets increase the number of available connection points, but they do not increase the electrical capacity of the original mains supply. The total load of all connected equipment must remain within the permitted rating of the extension lead and circuit.
Practical 2 metre extension cable
The 2m cable length provides additional positioning flexibility without introducing the amount of excess cable associated with significantly longer extension leads.
This can make it easier to position the socket strip in an accessible location while keeping the mains connection away from equipment that needs regular adjustment or maintenance.
The cable should be routed carefully, avoiding sharp edges, crushing, excessive tension and locations where it could become a trip hazard.
Understanding extension lead loading
When several devices are connected to one extension lead, their electrical loads are combined. Six available sockets should therefore not be interpreted as meaning that six high-powered appliances can automatically be operated simultaneously.
Before connecting equipment, check the electrical rating of each device and ensure the combined load remains within the permitted rating of the extension lead and the electrical circuit supplying it.
Particular care should be taken with high-powered electrical equipment. Where there is any uncertainty over the suitability of an extension lead or electrical installation, seek advice from a suitably qualified electrician.
Safe installation & cable management
- Check the electrical requirements of equipment before connection.
- Consider the combined load of all six sockets, not each socket individually.
- 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 2m cable to minimise trip hazards and accidental disconnection.
- Do not connect extension leads together to create additional socket capacity.
- Disconnect equipment safely before inspecting or repositioning electrical connections.

6 Gang Extension Lead 2m FAQs
How long is the cable?
The extension lead has a 2 metre cable.
Is this a 6 gang or 6 way extension lead?
Both terms are commonly used for this type of product. It is a six-socket UK mains extension lead.
Can I connect six devices at once?
Six devices can physically be connected, but the combined electrical load must remain within the permitted rating of the extension lead and electrical supply.
Can I use this for lighting equipment?
It can be used with compatible lighting equipment provided the total electrical load remains within the permitted rating of the extension lead and supply circuit.
Can I use it for fans and environmental controllers?
Yes, compatible fans, controllers and monitoring equipment can be connected provided their combined electrical load is suitable.
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 same extension lead?
The electrical requirements of all connected equipment must be checked together. High-powered equipment can quickly increase the combined load, so suitability should be confirmed 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 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.
Why choose a 2m extension lead?
A 2m cable provides useful additional reach while remaining relatively straightforward to route and manage around equipment.
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 extension leads are in an outer case?
The outer case quantity is 20 extension leads.
