Linier extension

A 4-way linear extension cable is a power or signal distribution cable designed to extend electrical reach in a straight line while providing four output connections (ways or sockets).
It allows you to plug multiple devices into a single power source or extend multiple signal/power lines neatly along a linear path.

Key Features

1. Multiple Outputs (4-Way):

   • Provides four outlets/sockets to power or connect up to four devices simultaneously.

   • Each socket is usually spaced evenly along the cable in a linear arrangement (hence “linear extension”).

2. Linear / Straight Design:

   • Outlets or connectors are arranged in line along the cable — not in a box or cube.

   • Ideal for narrow spaces such as under desks, along walls, workbenches, or production lines.

3. Purpose:

   • Extends power or signal distribution safely and conveniently to multiple devices in one direction.

   • Reduces clutter by keeping plugs aligned neatly.

4. Construction:

   • Cable type: Heavy-duty PVC or rubber-insulated cable, often 3-core (Live, Neutral, Earth).

   • Conductor: High-purity copper for efficient current flow.

   • Connectors:

     • Input: male plug (2-pin or 3-pin depending on region).

     • Outputs: four female sockets or connectors.

   • Rating: Typically 220–250 V AC, 10–13 A for household or office use.

5. Safety Features:

   • Overload or surge protection (optional).

   • Child-safety shutters on sockets.

   • Fused plug (common in UK/Kenya standards).

   • Flame-retardant and insulated outer sheath.

Common Applications

• Home or office setups — powering multiple devices (TV, laptop, speakers, chargers).

• Workshops or laboratories — running equipment along a bench.

• Retail or display setups — powering devices in a straight layout.

• Industrial environments — connecting tools or machines positioned in a row.
