Brennenstuhl Premium-Protect-Line Extension Lead 6-fold with USB and surge protection puts six grounded sockets and two USB charging ports into a single strip built to protect home and office electronics from serious power disturbances. With a maximum leakage current of up to 60,000A and a 3m cable, it is aimed at households that run several devices from one outlet and want both surge protection and USB charging without extra wall chargers.Premium-Protect-Line 6-way extension lead
Design, Sockets And USB Charging
The Premium-Protect-Line 6-way strip uses six protective contact sockets arranged at 45 degrees so wall-wart power supplies have more room and can share the strip without blocking each other. The housing is designed for indoor use with an IP20 degree of protection and includes increased touch protection around the earthed sockets.Technical data for 6-way USB strips
On the front side, Brennenstuhl builds in two USB A charging sockets rated at 5V and a maximum combined output current of 3.10A, for a total USB power of 15.5W. These ports are intended for charging smartphones, tablets and other USB-compatible devices directly from the strip, avoiding the need for separate plug-in chargers.USB charger function and output current
Surge Protection And Electrical Capacity
The defining feature of this strip is its surge protection system, specified for a maximum sum of leakage currents up to 60,000A, designed to guard connected devices against indirect lightning strikes, grid disturbances and line noise. An interference suppressor filter is integrated to further smooth out power irregularities on the mains line.Summary of 60,000A surge protection
The strip supports a maximum electrical load capacity of 3,680W at a nominal input voltage of 230V, which covers typical combinations of computers, displays, audio equipment and chargers. Power flows through a PVC-insulated cable with the designation H05VV-F 3G1.5 and a length of 3m, giving enough reach to bridge the gap from the wall outlet to a desk or entertainment center while keeping the cable manageable.Load capacity and cable specification

Pricing And Positioning Against Alternatives
In European retail, the Premium-Protect-Line 6-way USB strip typically appears in the mid-range price band for surge-protection power strips with integrated USB charging, reflecting its higher 60,000A protection rating and dual USB A outputs rather than entry-level designs with lower surge ratings and without USB. The 3m cable and metal-like housing align it with other premium multi-socket strips aimed at protecting sensitive electronics such as audio interfaces, computers and home-office setups.European retailer overview and positioning
Compared with Brennenstuhl's Premium-Line 6-way strip that offers only USB A outputs with the same maximum USB current but a slightly different housing and surge rating, the Premium-Protect-Line version emphasizes surge protection up to 60,000A and a more protection-focused design. Against newer models that add USB-C Power Delivery at 20W or 30W, this strip trades modern USB-C outputs for broad compatibility with existing USB A cables but keeps its role as a multi-socket surge protector first and a USB charger second.Comparison with USB-C PD-equipped extension leads
Use Cases, Limits And Who It Suits
For US readers, Brennenstuhl's Premium-Protect-Line 6-way USB strip is primarily relevant as an imported or international-use accessory rather than a widespread domestic model, because its native specification targets 230V mains systems with Schuko-style sockets rather than NEMA 120V outlets. Where used with appropriate adapters and within its rated load, it fits office desks, studio racks and home entertainment clusters that need six grounded connections, USB charging and a higher-capacity surge protector in a single piece of hardware.Extension leads overview and regional focus
Its limits follow directly from its specification: it is not designed for outdoor environments given the IP20 rating, and it does not offer USB-C Power Delivery outputs for laptop-level charging, staying instead with two USB A ports at a combined 15.5W. Buyers who want more powerful USB-C charging, such as dual 65W USB-C outputs alongside six mains sockets, will find that Brennenstuhl now sells Premium-Line 6-way strips with 2x USB-C PD 65W and 1x USB-A 18W, which trade some surge emphasis for stronger charging flexibility.Higher-power USB-C PD alternative
