Take the following technical and practical considerations into account.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eEarthing: protection for your devices\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eEarthing is an important safety feature of power strips. It ensures that in the event of a defective grounding in a device, electricity is safely diverted. In the Netherlands, the most common earthing systems are 'randaarde' (side earth) and 'penaarde' (pin earth). An ungrounded power strip (Europlug) is only suitable for devices with double insulation, often smaller appliances such as phone chargers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccaption aria-label=\"Overview of power strip earthing systems\"\u003eOverview of power strip earthing systems\u003c\/caption\u003e\r\n\u003cthead\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eType of Earthing\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eApplication\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\r\n\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eRandaarde (Side earth)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eMetal contact strips on the sides\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge and grounded devices (e.g. computers, refrigerators)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003ePenaarde (Pin earth)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eA protruding metal pin in the socket\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon in Belgium and France, sometimes also found on Dutch fixtures\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eUngrounded\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eNo metal contacts for earthing\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eSmall, double insulated devices (e.g. lamps without metal housing, phone chargers)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAlways check whether the plugs of your devices are compatible with the earthing type of the power strip. It is usually safer to use a grounded power strip, even for ungrounded devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCord length and load capacity\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe cord length of a 4-way power strip can vary significantly, from directly pluggable splitter sockets without a cord to extension leads of 5 meters or longer. Consider in advance how far the power strip will be from the wall outlet so you can choose the right length. An excessively long cable can cause tripping hazards and unnecessary cable clutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe maximum load capacity, expressed in Watts (W), indicates how much power all connected devices may use together at most. For most 4-way power strips this is around 2300W (ungrounded) up to 3680W (grounded, at 16A and 230V). Do not connect heavy users like a heater, washing machine, or kettle to a single power strip at the same time; this can cause overloading, overheating, and fire hazards.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/section\u003e\r\n\u003csection\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures that provide comfort and safety\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the basic function of power distribution, many 4-way power strips offer extra features that increase ease of use and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSwitches and energy saving\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA power strip with an on\/off switch allows you to disconnect all connected devices from the grid at once. This is practical to prevent standby power consumption and helps with energy saving. Some more advanced models have a switch for each socket, letting you individually turn specific devices on or off.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSurge protection and child safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA power strip with surge protection guards connected electronics against damage from power spikes, for example caused by lightning strikes or disturbances in the power grid. This is a valuable addition for sensitive equipment such as computers, TVs, and audio systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eChild safety is a built-in feature that prevents children from inserting objects into the socket openings. The openings are shielded and require both prongs of a plug to be inserted simultaneously in order to make contact. This is a recommended feature for use in households.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eExtra connection options: USB ports\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMore and more 4-way power strips are equipped with USB-A or USB-C ports. This allows you to charge smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices directly from the power strip, without needing a separate USB adapter in one of the outlets. This saves space and keeps your outlets free for other devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/section\u003e\r\n\u003csection\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003ePractical questions about 4-way power strips\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eVarious questions may arise regarding everyday use of power strips. Here are answers to common practical situations:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan multiple power strips be connected together?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, daisy-chaining power strips (plugging one power strip into another) is strongly discouraged. This increases the risk of overloading and fire hazards, because the total current through a single wall outlet can become too high.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if a power strip becomes warm?\u003c\/strong\u003e If a power strip feels warm, this indicates a (potential) overload. Disconnect some devices immediately. If the power strip regularly becomes warm, it is probably underrated for your use, and it is advisable to use a heavier model or additional outlets elsewhere.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow can I place the power strip to save space?\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a power strip where the sockets are positioned at an angle (often 45 or 90 degrees). This prevents large adapters or angled plugs from blocking adjacent outlets. Some power strips also have mounting eyes, allowing them to be attached to a wall or under a desk for a tidy workspace.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAre there special power strips for outdoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e A standard 4-way power strip is generally only suitable for indoor use (IP20). For outdoor use, special garden power strips or cable reels with higher IP ratings (at least IP44, often IP65 for exposed locations) are available.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/section\u003e\r\n\u003csection\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance and lifespan of 3-way power strips\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA 3-way power strip generally requires little maintenance. Regular visual inspection for cable or housing damage is sufficient. Ensure that the power strip is not subjected to overloading and that cables are not kinked or pinched. In case of visible damage, overheating, or a burning smell, the power strip should be unplugged and replaced immediately. A 3-way power strip that is used correctly will typically last a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/section\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"extension-socket-1-5m-4-way-white","title":"Technik 4-way extension socket with switch, 1.5m cable, 16A 250V White, child protection","description":"\u003ch2\u003eReliable Technik extension socket for your everyday needs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Technik 4-way extension socket with switch offers you a safe and convenient way to power multiple devices at once.
