Power socket splitter MACLEAN MCE338 F — Type F, 2 outlets, 2×16A with circuit breaker

MACLEAN MCE338 F is a Type F power socket splitter that converts a single grounded wall outlet into two independent grounded sockets rated at 2×16A. The unit includes an integrated circuit breaker to protect connected equipment from overloads and short circuits while maintaining the standard earth connection required for many household and office appliances. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for tight installation spaces without obstructing adjacent outlets.

Advantages

The splitter provides two grounded outlets with individual 16 ampere capacity, ensuring safe power distribution for multiple devices from a single wall socket. The built-in circuit breaker offers automatic protection against overloads, reducing the risk of damage to appliances and wiring. Compact dimensions and robust casing allow reliable, space-saving installation, while the standard Type F grounding ensures compatibility with a wide range of European plugs.

Suitable for

• Home appliances such as refrigerators, TVs, and washing machines that require grounded Type F connections
• Office equipment including computers, printers, and monitors
• Audio/visual setups and workstations where two grounded sockets are needed from one wall outlet
• Temporary power extension for small workshops or household tools within rated current

Key specifications

• Plug and sockets: Type F (grounded)
• Number of outlets: 2 grounded sockets
• Rated current: 16 A per outlet (2×16A total)
• Safety feature: integrated circuit breaker for overload and short-circuit protection
• Recommended environment: indoor use, dry locations such as homes and offices
• Construction: compact housing designed to minimize adjacent socket blockage

How to use

Insert the splitter into a compatible Type F wall socket ensuring the contact is secure and the grounding is intact. Connect devices to the two available grounded outlets, observing the rated current limits to avoid overloading the circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker trips, disconnect some devices and reset the breaker following the manufacturer's reset procedure. Do not use the splitter in wet or outdoor locations, and avoid daisy-chaining multiple splitters or adapters on the same supply.

Usage recommendations

Use the splitter only with appliances whose combined current draw does not exceed the rated capacity. Regularly inspect the unit and wall socket for signs of wear or damage, and replace it if any cracks, overheating marks, or loose contacts are detected. For high-power appliances, consider connecting directly to a dedicated outlet to reduce load on the splitter and ensure optimal safety.
