USB lead?

I am looking for a lead with a 13a plug on one end and 6 usb/usbc outlets on the other end. All seem to have 13a sockets alongside the usb outlets which makes it too bulky for where I want to put it. Splitters will reduce the output of the usb outlets.
Is something like this available?

What output do you need from the USB outlets? Does it need a length of lead or would an adaptor plug be OK, like this one

Amazon has lots of options but how much power do you want delivered? How long do you want the cable to be?knightstyle said:I am looking for a lead with a 13a plug on one end and 6 usb/usbc outlets on the other end.

Personally would be tempted to buy it as three components, charger, cable and hub meaning you can flex elements without replacing the whole lot in the future but it will be more expensive up front that way.
Something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-A2154-114W-6-in-1-Chargr-Black/dp/B0CNSHPMW4/ if you want an all in one.

Not sure I'd trust that thing in my house! Ugreen are a well respected brand, will this do you?

It's an adaptor. With 6 outputs. "Not burning down my house" was not on the OP's requirement list!outtatune said:Not sure I'd trust that thing in my house!1 -
Thanks for all the suggestions I will look at them all. It has to be low profile so the normal plug in adaptors will not do. It is to charge phones, watches, ipad, kindle for us whilst in our small cramped caravan.
Some adaptors I found are only for data not charging.
Some of those listed above seem very expensive!0 -
Some of them are providing 200w of power in a compact form so will have to deal with heat issues etc. Plus all but the first are from well known brands. There have been various warnings for fire risks from unbranded chargers having inadequate protections with high risks of overheating. Ultimately you pay your money and take your choices.knightstyle said:Thanks for all the suggestions I will look at them all. It has to be low profile so the normal plug in adaptors will not do.

A lot will come down to what draw you want to support... iPad should charge on a 15w cable fine but the latest models support up to 35w. Likewise iPhones can charge on 5w but latest models can go up to 40w. So do you want to give each device the minimum it needs and it be a low charge or pay more for one that can carry more power and charge things faster

What about this??? Seems cheap, too cheap?

Caravan. Will probably have 12V dc available. Probably cigarette lighter style. Could one of those types be used; some come with cable extenders?
It's also usually very easy to add 13A sockets... Mine had a single in a cupboard for the microwave next door. Swapped for a double socket that was used for charger plugs as required. Another single in another cupboard supplied the fridge.0 -

They are a well respected brand. Have many of their products in our house, including a product the same as listed only USB-A. Not burnt house down yet despite at least 8 years use daily.Life in the slow lane3
