FYM Power Strips Technical Specifications

Selecting a reliable power extension goes beyond just adding more sockets; it is about protecting your expensive hardware from electrical faults. Here is a breakdown of our core FYM products:

Product Category Key Technical Features Best Use Case
4-Way / 6-Way Switched Leads 13A Fused, Individual Neon Switches, BS 1363 Standard home offices, PC setups, and general household appliances.
8-Way Heavy Duty Strips Surge Protection, Impact-resistant casing Home theaters, multi-monitor gaming rigs, and AV equipment racks.
Unwired Extension Casings DIY wiring ready, robust internal copper contacts Custom-length power extensions for workshops and engineering projects.

Important Note (Electrical Limitations & Fire Hazards): All FYM power strips are rated for a maximum total load of 13 Amps (approximately 2860 Watts at 220V). You must never plug high-wattage heating appliances (such as space heaters, portable air conditioners, or microwaves) into a power strip alongside other devices. Doing so will instantly overload the circuit, causing the internal fuse to blow or, worse, melting the cables. Furthermore, never "daisy-chain" (plugging one extension lead into another) to extend your reach.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why did my FYM power strip suddenly cut off power to all my devices?
A: This is the built-in safety mechanism working as intended. If the total power draw exceeds 13A, or if there is a sudden power surge, the internal fuse inside the main 3-pin plug will blow to protect your connected electronics from catching fire. You simply need to replace the 13A fuse inside the plug to restore functionality.

Q: Are individual switches really necessary on a power strip?
A: Yes, highly recommended. Individual switches allow you to cut power to specific devices (like a monitor or printer) when not in use, completely eliminating "phantom power" drain. More importantly, it prevents the electrical arcing (sparking) that often occurs when physically pulling a plug out of a live socket.
