Socket and its types
Drawers can be divided according to type and purpose into three categories.
Extension and extension sockets
Extension and extension sockets can be used when your cable does not reach the socket or when you need to connect several appliances at once.
- Drawer rails They expand the number of usable drawers and can often be integrated into walls or furniture.
-
Cable Splitters & Adapters plug directly into the socket and increase its number of outputs. This is an alternative to the double drawer.
-
Extension Leads will extend the range or increase the number of connected appliances.

Sockets with USB allows you to charge your phone or tablet without the need for an adapter.

Do you have smaller children in your home? Choose wall outlets with a childproof screen or get a separate childproof wall outlet to ensure they are protected. You can find the child fuses in the section plugs.
What parameters to look for when choosing a socket?
Important parameters when choosing a socket include:
- IP protection can be against water, dust or objects and is often suitable for outdoor use.
- Voltage of the electrical outlet ranges from 100 to 380 V depending on the country or use. In the Czech Republic it is 230V.
- The maximum load of an electrical outlet is marked in Watts and Amps, and it is important not to exceed this value with a plugged-in appliance.

The input voltage of the appliance can usually be found in the manual or on the manufacturer's website.
