Why Choose a Piggy Back Plug

Power points rarely sit where the equipment does, and the nearest one is usually already taken. The piggy back design solves both problems at once: the lead extends your reach, while the 10A socket moulded into the rear of the plug accepts a second plug so the outlet keeps doing its original job. No double adaptors, no power board balanced on the skirting, no unplugging one appliance to run another.

Built Heavier Than It Needs to Be

The cable is rated at 15A while its fittings are the common 10A type. That extra conductor capacity keeps voltage drop negligible over the 3 metre run and gives the lead a sheath tough enough for set floors, workshop benches and daily coiling. The black finish disappears against dark flooring and staging, one reason this construction is a standard item among film and lighting suppliers.

Where Three Metres Is the Right Call

Short leads keep cable slack off the floor. Three metres is enough to reach behind an entertainment unit, along a bench, across a market stall table or from a floor outlet to a desk, without leaving loops of unused cable to trip on or tidy away. If the job calls for more distance, the same lead is made in 5 metre, 10 metre and 20 metre lengths.

Q: Can something else stay plugged into the wall while I use this lead?
A: Yes. A 10A socket is moulded into the rear face of the piggy back plug, so a second appliance plugs in on top of the lead at the outlet.

Q: How much can I run through this 3m piggy back extension lead?
A: The 10A plug and socket cap the total at 10A on 240V, which is 2,400W, shared between the lead and anything connected to the piggy back socket.

Q: What other lengths does this lead come in?
A: Alongside this 3 metre lead, the same black 10A piggy back design is available in 5 metre, 10 metre and 20 metre versions.
