Overview
- The 8Ware AU Power Cable Extension combines the functionality of a double adapter and extension lead in one compact solution. The 2-metre cable with 3-pin piggyback connector allows you to power multiple devices whilst keeping the wall outlet free for other use, making it ideal for home offices, kitchens, and living spaces.
Designed with practicality in mind, the low-profile connector and side-entry cable design make it perfect for situations where traditional extension leads or power boards won't fit—behind furniture, along skirting boards, or in tight architectural spaces. The cable routes away from the plug body, reducing bulk and improving aesthetics.
All connectors feature insulated pins that meet Australian Standard AS/NZS 3112:2000, ensuring safety and compliance. Rated at 240V 10A, it handles standard household power requirements reliably. Backed by a 12-month warranty, the 8Ware extension lead delivers dependable performance for everyday home and office use.

FAQs
What does 'piggyback' mean on this power cable?
The piggyback design allows the extension plug to sit alongside the mains socket outlet, providing access to two power points from one wall socket. The original wall outlet remains available for use, effectively doubling your power access points.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This cable is designed for indoor home and office use. For outdoor applications, use a cable specifically rated and insulated for external conditions.
What is the maximum power load this extension can handle?
The 8Ware extension is rated for 240V at 10A maximum, which equals 2400W. Do not exceed this rating when connecting appliances.
Why is side-entry cable design beneficial?
The side-entry design routes the cable away from the plug body, reducing bulk and allowing the cable to fit into tight spaces where traditional right-angle extensions won't fit, such as behind furniture or along skirting boards.
Does this comply with Australian electrical standards?
Yes, the insulated pins conform to Australian Standard AS/NZS 3112:2000, ensuring safety and compliance with local electrical requirements.
What is the warranty period?
The 8Ware power cable extension includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Can I use this with high-powered appliances like kettles or heaters?
The cable is rated for 10A (2400W). Check the power consumption of your appliance—if it exceeds 2400W, use a higher-rated cable or connect directly to the wall socket instead.
