This is a four-socket extension lead from Status, supplied with a two-metre cable and built-in surge protection. It takes a single wall outlet and provides four individually accessible sockets, with the surge protection circuit helping to guard connected equipment against brief spikes in mains voltage.

In a catering environment, this type of lead is most useful in back-of-house office areas, dry goods stores, or front-of-house service counters where low-draw equipment such as card readers, tablet stands, label printers, or phone chargers need to be run from a single outlet. It is not intended for high-current catering appliances such as fryers, ovens, or refrigeration units, and should not be used as a substitute for fixed additional sockets where permanent demand exists.

Practical benefits for day-to-day use include:

  • Four sockets from a single wall outlet, reducing cable clutter
  • Surge protection to help guard sensitive electronics against voltage spikes
  • Two-metre cable length gives useful reach from the nearest outlet
  • Compact and easy to reposition as layouts change
  • Standard UK plug and socket format, no adaptor required

It is worth noting that extension leads of this type are suitable for occasional and light-duty use. For any fixed or semi-permanent electrical installation in a commercial kitchen, current regulations will generally require a qualified electrician to install additional outlets rather than relying on trailing leads.

If you are unsure whether this lead is appropriate for your intended use, or if you need advice on safe electrical practice in a commercial kitchen setting, the team is happy to help point you in the right direction.

Frequently asked questions

Is this extension lead suitable for use with commercial catering appliances?

No — this lead is intended for low-draw equipment such as tablets, card readers, label printers, and phone chargers. High-current appliances including ovens, fryers, and refrigeration units should always be connected to dedicated, correctly rated outlets installed by a qualified electrician.

What does the surge protection actually do in a kitchen environment?

The surge protection circuit is designed to absorb brief, sharp spikes in mains voltage that can occur when large equipment switches on or off nearby. It is particularly useful where sensitive electronics are in use, though it is not a substitute for a dedicated UPS where continuous protection is critical.

Can this lead be used as a permanent solution for extra sockets in a commercial kitchen?

For temporary or occasional use in low-risk areas such as offices or dry stores it is practical, but trailing extension leads are generally not considered acceptable as a permanent electrical solution in commercial kitchens under current regulations. If you need additional outlets on a fixed basis, a qualified electrician should install them.
