Yeah because bottom heavy plugs is where it’s at.

In the end I didn’t buy any outdoor xmas lights because they had lengthy plugs that don’t fit in the watertight socket. Fucking joke.

Nope, going to be mature and leave that one be

I have an identical issue - got that type of multi plug thing cos of the individual on off switches. My mother 32s plug shape renders one of the slots on the adapter redundent

#12

The individual switches are a real boon though aren’t they

If we are all showing off about it then I have one as well. Yes I have spare capacity but I still have one completely out of action

Really like plugs that have the retractable upper prong. Feels like a real triumph of engineering.

Nice. How’s your cable management? I got one of those cage/tray things that you can screw onto the underside of a desk, that’s made a difference.

#17

Do you think this is suitable content for Rubz Plugz 2020?

#18

Yes.

#19

That is all behind a big speaker so cable mangement is not needed.

@anon5266188 have you considered releasing cable manager 2020?

#20

Ideal. I will photograph my setup when I get home to add to the thread.

#21

Thank you

When you have

  • a two/four way extension lead where some of the sockets are up one way round and some are up the other way
  • two of more chunky plugs (e.g. for a keyboard or guitar pedal or whatever)

… and so they don’t fit.

Current cable management/extension situation:

Cable tidy under the desk - eventually going to cover it all up so it’s not visible from the front.

Eight-way extension placed inside cupboard with individual switches (please note masking tape labels to identify plugs)

Extension lead leaving cupboard to be plugged in. Minor cosmetic damage due to poor drilling, slightly wrong bracket things used, necessity to remove the plug and rewire it on the other side of the cupboard wall, this has it all.

I really need to label some of my plugs and cables

Fucking wires man - no chance of me ever getting them all invisible
