Is there such thing as this ?

[Carlvtr88]

I need a normal extension socket, prob just four spaces, but with a standard UK mains plug that's removable from its cable and reattachable quickly.

I'd explain why but I'm on my phone and its complicated lol.

Does this exist ?..... Thanks

Errr...what?

[MartinObviously]

I don't see the need for one (and after a lengthy googling session) it seems nobody else sees the need either.

So I guess youd have to fit your own quick release cable for it?

[Carlvtr88]

I have a new flightcase for dj setup, which has an area at the back for all audio and power cables.

Inside this area I'll also have a four pin socket, all decks and mixer plugged in.

For quick setup I want to be able to open the case, grab one power cable plug it in, done.

I'd leave it loose in the case but the three pins would dent the lid sponge eventually because the plug is too big to fit through the cable holes and sit with the rest of the cables, also once it's screwed down I'd like to leave it.
If the plug was attachable, I could grab the cable from the extension, attach it to the plug and Im setup. 2 cdjs and my mixer in 10 seconds.

I am probably best drawing a diagram, that was a shite effort to explain.

When I Said screw it down, the cable area has a lid that you screw down once you have your speaker cables poking through the holes. But they are flat so the case shuts fine.... A 3 pin sits quite high, eventually damaging the lid cause it presses in.

IEC C14 3 pin socket, do the extension inside of the case and mount this on the case itself. After that it's a doodle.

Thanks for the help Manu but can you elaborate on that a little more.... I cant see what you mean. Sorry.

Connect plug to multi socket.

Buy lead to run from sockets to wall plug/wherever

do you mean like a multiplug extension were one of the plugs can de attach and stretch even further?

im confused

[Brettles1986]

He basically wants an extension lead that he can remove the actual plug from to prevent ruining the inside of his case.

[DaDangerMan]

why don't you just fit this to a normal extension lead?

Spot on. Sorry guys, i was on my phone last night and struggled to make much sense.

Brettles is spot on..... If i close the lid on my case, with the plug sittin on top of the cable area cover, ill damage the underside of the lid on my case.

If the plug was quickly removable, that would be great.

Other than this, the only thing im thinking of doing is a small mod to the metal cable cover. 3 neat screw holes big enough to push the plug flat, as if i was plugging it into a socket.


Thanks for all your responses. Suppose a plug mod would be good, literally modding a wall socket into the case but thats a lot of hassle really and I dont really want to start drilling my new case too much.

As i say, i might go with 3 holes big enough for E, N and L to slot in, this will be fine then i think.

The socket manu shouldn't need you to mod the case.

A lead will plug straight into that from a wall socket.
