Manufacturer: GM Modular
Product: Cuba 16A 2+2 Extension Board with Cord
Available Variants: 2 Metre Cord, 5 Metre Cord
Rating: 16A — heavy duty, not a standard 6A/10A strip
Switches: Two 20A switches
Plug: 16A three-pin — requires a 16A wall socket
Application: High-wattage appliances that a normal strip cannot handle

GM Cuba 16A 2+2 Extension Board is a heavy-duty power strip built for the appliances an ordinary extension board cannot safely run — rated 16A, with two 20A switches and a 16A three-pin plug, on a 2 metre or 5 metre cord.

The distinction matters more than most people realise. A standard extension strip is rated 6A or 10A, which is fine for laptops, chargers and lamps but well below what a heater, iron, microwave, induction hob or air conditioner draws. Running one of those from a 10A strip overheats the strip, and overheated extension boards are a common cause of household fires. A 16A board is built for that load: heavier internal contacts, thicker cable, and switches rated to 20A.

The 16A plug is the practical consequence to plan for. It is physically larger than a standard 6A plug and only fits a 16A wall socket — the bigger round-pin outlet usually installed for air conditioners, geysers and refrigerators. It will not go into an ordinary 6A point, and that is deliberate: it prevents a heavy load being connected to light wiring.

Key Features

16A heavy-duty rating: Handles appliances that would overheat a standard 6A or 10A strip
Two 20A switches: Switch gear rated above the board's own current, with margin in hand
16A three-pin plug: Connects to a proper 16A wall socket, as heavy loads require
2+2 socket layout: Four outlets, spaced for larger appliance plugs
Two cord lengths: 2 m for close work, 5 m to reach a distant socket
Heavier internal wiring than a general-purpose strip

Technical Specifications

Note: A couple of specification values below still need confirming against the physical product carton before publishing live.

Specification	Details
Product	GM Cuba 16A 2+2 Extension Board
Current Rating	16A
Socket Configuration	2+2
Switches	Two 20A switches
Plug Type	16A three-pin
Cord Lengths	2 metre · 5 metre
Requires	A 16A wall socket

Which Cord Length?

Length	Typically suits
2 metre	The socket is close by — kitchen counter, workshop bench, appliance beside its outlet
5 metre	The only 16A socket is across the room, or you need to reach a different corner

Choose the shorter cord that reaches. Longer cable carries more voltage drop under heavy load, and excess cord gets coiled — which traps heat in a cable already carrying serious current.

Important — 16A Is Not the Same as a Normal Extension Board

You need a 16A wall socket. The plug is physically larger and will not fit an ordinary 6A point. That is a safety feature, not an inconvenience — it stops heavy loads being run off light wiring
Check the circuit behind that socket. A 16A appliance needs wiring and an MCB rated for it. If in doubt, ask an electrician before use
Always uncoil the cord fully. A coiled cable carrying 16A traps heat and can damage its own insulation
Never daisy-chain it into another extension board, in either direction
16A is roughly 3,700 W total across all sockets combined — still a limit, not an invitation to run four heaters at once

1) How is this different from a normal extension board?

Rating. A standard strip is 6A or 10A; this is 16A, with heavier internal contacts, thicker cable and 20A switches. It is built for appliances — heaters, irons, microwaves, induction hobs — that would overheat an ordinary strip.

2) Will the plug fit my wall socket?

Only a 16A socket, the larger round-pin outlet usually fitted for air conditioners, geysers and refrigerators. It will not fit a standard 6A point, deliberately — that prevents a heavy load being connected to light wiring.

3) Should I buy the 2 m or the 5 m?

The shortest one that reaches. Longer cable means more voltage drop under heavy load, and spare cord ends up coiled, which traps heat in a cable already carrying serious current.

4) Can I run an air conditioner or geyser from it?

It is rated for heavy appliances, but check two things first: the appliance's current draw against the 16A limit, and whether the circuit behind your wall socket is rated for it. Fixed appliances like geysers are normally hard-wired rather than run from a strip — ask an electrician.

5) How much total load can it take?

16A, roughly 3,700 W across all sockets combined. That is a genuine limit. Two high-wattage appliances at once can approach it, so add up what you are actually plugging in.
