With the continuous development of electronic and electrical equipment, whether in daily office or life, people’s demand for extension sockets is steadily increasing. A traditional wall outlet usually only has one or two plugs. The use of extension socket is a good solution to the contradiction between the increasing demand for the use of electronic and electrical products on the one hand, but at the same time the number of wall sockets is far from enough.

Let’s take a look at the following ranking of the best selling extension socket products on Amazon Middle East.

The types of extension sockets preferred by consumers in the Middle East fall into the following four categories.

— basic models

– Design of connection panels tower

– Cubic (small size) multifunction sockets

– Extended functionality models with extra USB charging slots

Let’s start with the basics.

The basic models for the Middle East market are generally one size larger than the basic models for the electric market, which also use the BS standard. It is also easy to see from the pictures that the Middle East market has a preference for color, mainly white, with light gray on the panel or with colored stripes around the sub-key. The number of patch sockets on the patch panel is mainly 4 holes, each with a sub-switch for easy control. Each switch will have an indicator light on the side for the user to check the power status.

From the power cord length statistics of the best-selling products, the 3-meter power cord is the most popular model, and the 5-meter power cord is the second most popular. The 10m power cord still ranks fifth in the best-selling products, while the final price is higher than the 3m and 5m power cords of the same model. It shows that the long size of the power cord should also be a consideration in the market planning of the extension socket category.

Look again at the tower-shaped design of the extension socket

As mentioned, the Middle East market has a large population and the demand for electronic products is increasing. Traditional straight plug sockets usually have a maximum of 5 holes, which is not enough for large families or conference rooms where multiple devices are charged at the same time. Therefore, tower design is a good solution to the conflict between space reduction and multiple device usage. Moreover, the tower design, with four-way plugs in the front, back, left and right of the product, and usually a hole at the top, also looks very suitable for different angles of power supply needs.

Multifunctional mini size plug.

The compact multifunctional plug is generally distinguished by the fact that the holes are not as numerous as in the tower-shaped plug, which is usually cube-shaped, T-shaped and small squares. It is located more to counteract the shortage of holes in smaller quantities. The joint cube and T-sockets do not come with a power cable, but are extended directly onto the wall socket by means of screws. Looking at Amazon’s ranking of best-selling products, 3 of the top 10 fall into this category, being the second most popular model in addition to the base models.

These are the small socket expansion products which are small in size and big in functionality. When combined with wall sockets, they take up almost no extra space.

Connections with USB function

As you can see from our list of best, new products and most anticipated list, half of the products also have a USB port in the extension cord category. For digital devices such as mobile phones, the USB charging port adopts a very convenient and user-friendly design that allows consumers to charge their devices by carrying a cable with them, rather than having to plug into a charging head socket.
