Power strip AS Schwabe 18194 — compact 0.48 m black/silver corded outlet bar

AS Schwabe 18194 is a compact corded outlet bar with a 0.48 m cable in a black and silver finish. Designed to extend a single wall socket into multiple mains outlets, this compact power strip provides convenient, close-range power distribution for home and office equipment. Its short cable length is suitable for installations close to devices or when placed behind furniture to minimise loose cable runs while keeping multiple appliances powered from one point.

Advantages

The compact design reduces clutter and fits into tight spaces where longer extension leads would be impractical. A robust housing in black and silver gives a neutral appearance that blends with most interiors. The short 0.48 m cable keeps the power strip close to the wall outlet, reducing trip hazards and excess cable. Built for everyday use, the outlet bar provides straightforward power extension without unnecessary complexity.

Suitable for

• Powering a cluster of desktop devices such as monitors, printers, and external drives positioned close to a wall outlet
• Supplying power to entertainment equipment behind TV stands or shelving units
• Temporary workstation setups where a short, tidy connection is preferred
• Workshops or utility rooms where tools or chargers are used near the socket

Key specifications

• Compact outlet bar form factor with multiple socket outlets
• Fixed cable length: 0.48 m
• Colour: black and silver finish
• Inline corded design for direct connection to a single mains socket

How to use

Plug the corded outlet bar directly into a standard mains wall socket and arrange the unit so it sits close to the connected devices. Insert appliance plugs into the available sockets ensuring each plug is fully seated. Do not overload the outlet bar beyond the current rating of the wall circuit or the sum of the connected devices' power draw. Position the cable and outlet bar to avoid pinching, heat sources, or areas where it could become a trip hazard.

Usage recommendations

Use the outlet bar only with compatible mains voltage and within the rated current of the installation. Avoid connecting high-power appliances simultaneously if they exceed the circuit’s capacity. Regularly inspect the cable and housing for damage and replace the unit if any defects are found. For permanent or high-demand installations, consider a solution with surge protection or a longer, professionally routed supply.
