IEC 4 Way???????

[Corabar Steve]

Does anyone know if you can get something like a standmate but with 3 core cable & a mains plug (as opposed to a bulgin plug)

Like this but with a 3 pin plug

[Corabar Steve]

Or a 4 way one of these?

[Shaun]

I'd be interested to find some of those too.

there is a 3-way version of the lead Steve has pictured, or you can use the two way version with two of these

the three way version isn't great IMHO, as the third extension is a different length to the other (shorter two) as it's another Y join off one of the first pair of Y joins

There most certainly is - in fact there are two option, I own both. The "lead" version has four IEC sockets and a three core lead with 13 amp plug - but picked it up at a car boot!

I also have a square plastic box, with 8 or 6 (can't quite remember) IEC sockets and one plug. You run a kettle lead to it and bingo! I think they are available from RS - if that helps but you need more info, let me kknow and I'll have a look tomorrow!

Yeah, I've got a couple with separate mains plugs and I got them from CPC (http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/home/homepage.jsp;jsessionid=PGPHQQYILZ3SFQFIAFACFE4AVA AUAIV3), and I've just spent the last 20 minutes looking for you, but can't find the **** things :sad:

[Candybeatdiscos]

sorry to sound possibly stupid here - but could you not just cut the bulgin off at the end and puta 3 pin plug on it? I may be wrong but

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

This is what I have (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4W-IEC-Power-Block-Extension-Strip_W0QQitemZ270012190966QQihZ017QQcategoryZ4534 2QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) but can't find on CPC where I bought it from.

I'm pretty sure I only paid £7.99 and that was with the plug too.

I think this is what you want - and is certainly one of the things I have -

Can't find my "choice" - the square box I have, but will try to take a picture next time I'm out. However I believe the above two items will do what you need! :teeth:

Yes idealy like the first, but not used

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Obviously no-one is reading the rest of the thread then?

[Corabar Steve]

Found a supplier of new / unused ones. They do 5 ways (even better!) :) :) :)

Thanks for all your help anyway :)

Wouldnt work anyway. Bulgin leads are 8 core and 13amp mains are 3 core.

If I had money to burn I could've done that with a standmate & just ignored the other 5 wires :teeth: :teeth:

[Larry B Entertainment]

Yes but you would only have 1 socket on the other end working. Unless you rewired the box so all 4 sockets were in parallel and then it would work.

I think Steve was joking anyway, Rocket :)
