# Sameriver ZYC05 8-Outlet Tower Extension Lead with 4 USB Ports

The Sameriver ZYC05 is a tower extension lead listed with eight AC outlets and four USB ports. Its tower layout and switches for each pair of sockets suit a desk or shared charging area, but the stated cable length and power details conflict across the listing.

## Before you buy

- Listing details are inconsistent: the title and feature copy describe a 3M cable, while product-description sections specify 2M. Power is listed as 3250 watts in one field but the feature copy says 2990W, and the plug is identified as Type C despite a three-prong cord entry. Confirm the version, cable length, plug and rating shown for the selected listing. The manufacturer advises keeping connected appliances within the stated rating and not using portable heaters, refrigerators or large appliances with this switchboard.

## A good fit for

- People who need several mains sockets and USB charging points close together.
- Desk or home-office setups where paired socket switches and cable organisation are useful.

## Less suited to

- Buyers who need a confirmed cable length, plug configuration or power rating without checking the selected listing.
- People needing to connect portable heaters, refrigerators or large appliances to an extension board.

## Customer feedback

Customer feedback highlights the compact size, cable organisation, USB ports, paired socket switches and appearance as useful points. Durability feedback is mixed, with some reports describing robust units and others reporting failure within weeks. For a setup using several outlets, the reported reliability concerns matter alongside the conflicting rating and cable-length details. The aggregate ratings are broadly positive, but do not establish how a particular unit will perform.
- Positive themes: Customers praise the compact design, cable tidiness, USB ports and paired socket controls.
- Mixed feedback: Durability feedback is mixed, including reports of units failing within weeks.

## Frequently asked questions

### How many devices can it connect?
The listing states eight AC outlets and four USB ports, describing these as 12 connection points. USB output is stated as 17W total.
### How long is the cable?
The listing conflicts: some sections say 3M and others say 2M. Check the details for the specific listing before purchase.
### What power rating should I use?
One specification gives 3250 watts, while feature copy gives 2990W. The manufacturer advises not exceeding the rating and says not to connect portable heaters, refrigerators or large appliances.
