The Brennenstuhl power strip ECO-Line is an extension cord for outdoor use, designed as a power distribution unit for multiple devices. The unit features six sockets and is equipped with a 1.5-meter power cable, enabling power supply extension over a short distance. The power strip is black in colour and has a width of 34 cm. It includes an on/off switch that centrally controls the power supply to all connected devices. Additionally, a child safety lock is integrated, preventing foreign objects from being inserted into the sockets and thus providing an extra safety feature.

Applications
This power strip is suitable for use in private households as well as in commercial environments where temporary or permanent power distribution over a short distance is required. It is particularly suitable for workstations, workshops, or living rooms where multiple electrical devices need to be connected simultaneously. The outdoor design allows for flexible placement, for example on tables, floors, or workbenches, with the 1.5-meter cable extension providing sufficient reach for many application scenarios.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The power strip features six sockets, each rated for a connection capacity of 16 A. The integrated on/off switch allows the entire power supply to all connected devices to be interrupted with a single switch, which is especially useful when absent or at the end of a work phase. The child safety lock protects against accidental insertion of objects into the socket openings, thereby reducing the risk of accidents, particularly in households with children.

Technology Explained Simply
The extension cord operates on the principle of power distribution: the connected power cable carries electrical energy from a socket to the power strip, where it is distributed via the six sockets to multiple devices. The on/off switch serves as a central shut-off function, interrupting the power flow to all connected devices. The child safety lock is a mechanical protection system that seals the socket openings when no plug is inserted, and only opens upon correct insertion of a plug. The 1.5-meter length of the power cable allows for flexible placement of the power strip relative to the power source.

Compatibility and Accessories
The power strip is compatible with standard sockets in Germany and other countries using the socket type CEE 7/16 (Schuko). It can be connected to any electrical device that has a matching plug and operates within the permissible power limits.

Installation and Mounting
Installation of the power strip involves simply plugging the power cable into an available socket. The power strip itself is placed at a suitable location, with the 1.5-meter cable extension allowing flexible positioning. No additional mounting or installation aids are required, as the power strip is designed as a freestanding unit. Use requires no additional tools or installation procedures.

Operational Advantages
The power strip offers a compact and practical solution for power distribution to multiple devices. The central shut-off function via the on/off switch simplifies power safety and energy saving. The child safety lock increases household safety. The black lacquered surface blends in with most environments, and the compact design with a width of 34 cm allows space-saving use. The 1.5-meter extension provides sufficient flexibility for many application scenarios without excessive cable length.
