Holder for an extension lead or power strip — set of 2

An extension lead is almost never where you want it. Under the desk it slides away as soon as your feet touch the cables, in the meter cupboard it ends up on the floor in the dust, and behind the TV unit it ends up hanging from its own cables because there is nothing to rest it on. This holder for your extension lead solves that: you screw the two brackets in place wherever you choose and clamp the lead between them. After that it stays where you put it.

Where to hang it

The most common spot is under a desktop, so the plugs and cables stay out of sight and nothing is left lying on the floor. It also works well:

• on the wall of a meter cupboard or utility room, above the skirting board;
• behind or under a TV unit, where you cannot get to it without pulling everything out;
• against a side wall next to a server cabinet or network corner;
• under a workbench or against the side of a cupboard in the workshop.

You can mount it in any orientation: horizontal, vertical or upside down under a desktop. As long as the lead is clamped between the two brackets, the position does not matter.

Mounting

Hold the first bracket in place, mark the holes, pre-drill and screw it in place. Then lay the extension lead in it, slide the second bracket up against the other end and screw it in place the same way. This way you set the spacing between the two brackets yourself, and the lead sits tight, even if it is on the long side.

Screws are not included. Which ones you need depends entirely on what you are screwing into: in wood, short wood screws will do; in brick or plaster you need wall plugs or plasterboard fixings. We do not know what kind of wall you have, so we would rather supply nothing than the wrong thing.

Will my extension lead fit?

A normal flat extension lead fits in most cases without any problem; a thick one with switches, USB ports or surge protection on top may turn out too big. The length of the lead does not matter, because you set that yourself with the spacing between the two brackets.

Why it is a set of two

One bracket will not hold a lead in place; it tips over as soon as you pull on a cable. You always need two, one at each end of the lead. That is why we only sell them as a set of two, for one price, so you do not have to think about the quantity when ordering.

How it is made

We print the brackets ourselves in the Netherlands, in PLA, and keep them in stock: your order goes straight in the post. If a set is unexpectedly out of stock, we print it first; you will see that on this page when you order.

Screw mounting in any orientation: under a desktop, against a wall or on its side. Screws and wall plugs are not included, because they depend on what you are fixing into.
