Extend your power
The LDNIO SC3416 Universal Socket Extension Cable (also known as a power strip or extension socket, model SC3416) is a versatile, high-capacity surge-protected power strip ideal for home, office, or travel use in regions like Nairobi with mixed plug types. It features 3 universal AC outlets that accommodate large plugs from UK (Type G), EU (Type C/E/F), US (Type A/B), and other standards, allowing seamless connection of various appliances and chargers without adapters. Paired with 4 USB charging ports (2 × USB-C supporting up to 65W PD fast charging and 2 × USB-A up to 60W with QC/Auto-ID protocols), it enables direct, rapid charging for laptops, tablets, smartphones, and accessories—no extra chargers needed. The strip handles a high AC output of up to 2500W (or 3250W in some listings, depending on regional rating) for powering household devices like TVs, fans, or small appliances, while the USB section totals 65W shared across ports (e.g., USB-C1/C2 at 45W+20W when combined). A durable 2-meter heavy-duty power cord provides flexible placement, and built-in safety features include 9-layer multi-protection (overload, overcurrent, short-circuit, temperature monitoring), child-safety doors on outlets, high-grade fire-proof PC material, and surge protection to safeguard connected devices.
Key Features
Universal AC Outlets for Global Plugs
The three universal sockets accept a wide variety of plug types, including UK (Type G), EU (Type C/E/F), US (Type A/B), and others, making it compatible with devices from different regions without needing separate adapters. This design simplifies powering appliances, chargers, or gadgets in mixed-plug environments like homes, offices, or travel setups in Nairobi.
Powerful 65W USB Fast Charging
Equipped with four USB ports—two USB-C supporting up to 65W PD fast charging and two USB-A with QC and Auto-ID protocols—it delivers rapid charging for laptops, tablets, smartphones, and accessories directly from the strip. The primary USB-C ports can handle high-wattage demands while the others provide efficient speeds for phones and smaller devices.
High-Capacity AC Power Handling
The extension supports a substantial AC load of up to 2500W (or 3250W in some regional ratings), allowing safe connection of multiple household devices such as TVs, fans, lamps, or small kitchen appliances alongside USB charging. This makes it suitable for desk setups, living rooms, or multi-device workstations without overloading concerns.
Extended 2-Meter Durable Cable
A heavy-duty 2-meter power cord offers flexible placement away from wall outlets, providing convenient reach for bedsides, desks, or conference tables. The reinforced cable construction ensures reliability and reduced wear over time, enhancing everyday usability in various spaces.
Advanced Multi-Layer Safety Protection
Incorporating 9-layer safeguards—including overload, overcurrent, short-circuit, over-temperature, and surge protection—along with child-safety shutter doors and fire-resistant PC material, it prioritizes device and user safety. These features help prevent electrical hazards and protect connected electronics during prolonged or high-load use.

FAQs
Is this power strip a voltage converter, and will it work safely with devices in Kenya (Type G plugs, 240V)?
No, it’s a plug adapter/extension only with universal sockets that accept Type G (UK-style, common in Kenya), Type C/E/F (EU), Type A/B (US), and more—no voltage conversion. It supports 100-250V input, so it’s fully compatible with Kenya’s 240V mains and Type G plugs/outlets. Use it with dual-voltage devices (most chargers/electronics are); avoid single-voltage 110V-only appliances to prevent damage.
How does the power sharing work when charging multiple devices via USB, and what are the max speeds?
The total USB output is 65W shared across the 4 ports. A single USB-C can deliver up to 65W PD (great for laptops/tablets), but when multiple ports are used (e.g., USB-C1 + USB-C2), it typically splits as 45W + 20W. USB-A ports max at 60W individually but drop when shared. For best results on high-power devices, use one primary USB-C alone; the strip intelligently distributes power without overload.
Can it handle high-power appliances on the AC outlets alongside USB charging?
Yes, the 3 universal AC outlets support up to 2500W–3250W total (depending on regional rating; check your unit), suitable for TVs, fans, irons, or small kitchen appliances in Kenya. You can run high-load devices on AC while USB charges phones/laptops, but avoid exceeding the total rating to prevent tripping or overheating—built-in protections help safeguard against overload.
