Anchor by Panasonic 4 way 6A Universal Socket with 3 Switch & 1 Master Switch | 4 Way Extension Board with 1.5 Mtr Extension Cord | Multi Plug Socket for Home Wall, Office (22568)

Been using this for more than a year, working great. Individual switches with each socket increases safety, efficiency and control.

Everything is fine. Pros-It has nice features and also I was using the it's older model (looks same) since 2016 and it did pretty good job. I am expecting this new extension cord to run more than 4 years. Cons- it flexes slightly if you twist it harder whereas it's same older model from 2016 doesn't.Conclusion- It is value for money and has a timeless design

● The cord is white in colour with red inserts and black print. It is around 11 inches long and 2 inches wide with 1 inch high● There are four sockets and switches, a 6A fuse and four LED indicators. The sockets are labelled Computer, Monitor, Printer and Speaker● The sockets are shuttered with rubber doors● There is an LED indicator to indicate power state and three other indicators that show various states◆ The cable is around a meter and a half in length with standard 3-pin plug◆ There are nail sockets at the back to wall-hang this strip● This can be opened for repairs by means of the six screws at the back● Overall, the build quality is strong and sturdy** Usage & Performance **● The strip is powered on by On/Off switch. If everything is alright, 1st and 3rd LEDs light up and power will be through into the first socket● The three LED indicators light up in different combinations to indicate various states of filters which are marked clearly. I have never seen any of those combinations coming up and I dont really know what they are either● The sockets accept Indian, US and EU plugs. It accepts 2 pin as well as 3 pin plugs● There is plenty of room between the sockets● The toal wattage of devices that can be connected is 1500watts. In the event of an overload, the 6A fuse blows out and the Fuse Blown LED lights up● The rubber shutters avoid chances for accidental contact with socket pins● There are four sockets and three switches only. One socket is directly wired with On/Off switch. I dont think this is a weird design since they have designed to use it with a computer system. So, if the computer is connected to the directly wired socket, all other devices that are dependant on computer will not be needed if computer is turned off. This means if the On/Off switch is on, computer turns on and other devices can be turned on with individual switches.● Eventhough the labelling says this would filter radio interferences due to radio and electromagnetic signals, I had no opportunity to test that** I dont like these **● The length of the cable is too short for an extension cord. I would be more happy if it was more than 2 meters● The colour is white and the finish is matte-like. This will definitely catch a lot of dirt and dust over a period of time** Summary **● I use this at my TV stand to connect DVD player, Set Top Box, speakers, etc. and is quite happy with the performance so far● I paid Rs.449 in Feb-17. Eventhough there are a few things that I dont like on these, I very well knew these from the product description. Hence I rate FIVE stars● If this review helped you in one way or the other, please consider hitting 'Yes or Helpful'.

Needs better quality control for such items.

Issue with Australian Plugs. It took some trials to work. If you have them, then once it starts working you need to keep it as such and frequently remove the plug.

I am writing this review after 4 months of use. The multi switch extension cord by Anchor Panasonic has been very useful especially on a work desk where there can me multiple gadgets which need to be connected at the same time. I don't use it for heavy electrical appliances like iron or a juicer / mixer / grinder. The cable is lengthy enough for my needs. International socket which is suitable for different types of plugs used around the world has avoided the need of purchasing adapters separately. It remains on for almost 16 hours a day. It is equipped with overload and surge protection. Another reliable product by Anchor Panasonic.

Do not use this device with an inverter, as when the neutral is disconnected via the MCB due to an issue with the power spike, current is also leaking into the neutral line. I have three power spikes, and all of them exhibit the same problem. It seems like the product itself is faulty. My 1.5 lakh TV was damaged due to this issue.
