Multi Socket Adapter with Mini Plugs

[Nilly]

I remember seeing these things in the shops some years ago, but now I actually need one they've all vanished, although everyone seems to agree how handy they were!

Are they still made / legal? Anyone know where I could buy one?

Cheers

The were made by Micromark who are still trading, you can download their catalogue from their website.

I have one still in use on the HiFi and it is good quality. Beware any imitations from overseas web based sellers.

I have used both no. 13 and no. 14 in the past. Mainly for use with computer equipment when everything required mains power.

We have today standardised with our plugs and sockets in the main the IEC 60320 C13 to C16A has taken over from what was shown in your link.

Although you can get items like this

personally I feel they take up nearly as much room as these

so little point in swapping from standard 13A Plug.

I always felt it was a step backwards when computers stopped having outputs for the monitors power.
