Extension cord with switch Brennenstuhl 3 m, 5 outlets (model 1940216)

The Brennenstuhl extension cord with switch, 3 m and five outlets, is a compact power extension designed for distributing mains electricity to multiple devices while offering centralized on/off control. The unit combines a three-metre mains cable with a row of five grounded sockets and a built-in rocker switch, allowing convenient power management for lamps, chargers, small household appliances and electronic equipment. Its straightforward design supports flexible cable routing and temporary or semi-permanent power distribution in homes and offices.

Advantages

This extension cord provides centralized switching of up to five connected devices, reducing the need to unplug appliances individually. The 3 m cable length allows placement further from the fixed wall outlet without additional cabling. Grounded outlets ensure safe connection for earthed equipment, and the compact form factor facilitates positioning on floors, desks or behind furniture. The integrated switch simplifies daily operation and can help reduce standby power consumption by cutting mains supply to connected devices.

How to use

Uncoil the 3 m cable and plug the extension cord into a properly installed wall outlet. Arrange the unit on a stable, dry surface away from heat sources and route the cable to avoid trip hazards. Insert devices into the grounded sockets and use the integrated switch to supply or cut power to all connected equipment. Do not overload the extension by connecting appliances that together exceed the circuit or device current rating; refer to the device rating on connected equipment and on-site circuit limits when in doubt.

Usage recommendations

Use the extension cord for low- to moderate-power devices and avoid permanent connection of high-power appliances. Keep the unit and cable dry, inspect periodically for damage, and unplug before cleaning or if the cable shows wear. For long-term or high-load installations, consider a dedicated circuit or a device rated for higher current.
