What is this product?.

Hi all,

Cannot find this anywhere, but possibly searching for the wrong thing.

There was a guy in our office with some kind of cube power thing that appeared to plug into the mains and he was able to plug other things into it, like USB's etc etc.

Any idea what this was or where to get one?.

I should have asked but he was chatting away to someone of actual importance

Hmmm, nope not that.

It was like a black cube with a bright blue light on it. Like an extension lead, but in cube-like format when other plugs, including USB connections could be plugged into.

was it just usbs or did he have other cabling going into it ?

Was it just a fancy mains charger for various devices?

Had USB's (phone charger i saw) and just your normal bog standard 3 pin plugs.

This'll do :-)

URL Removed

The one he had was a bit flashier but this'll do just nicely :-)

Edit: They're on a well known electrical retailing website.

Was it a USB extender?

You will have to remove the link before a mod sees this mate.

I've just read through this thread and you've not described what on earth the device actually does. Just a heads up for the future

Fair point, however saying "Like an extension lead" i would have thought gave it away slightly.

Ordered one

Thanks all!
