Alternative Mains Power Sockets - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Could anyone suggest some alternative mains power plugs and connectors I could use behind the TV. There must be over 15 power connectors and they are taking up a lot of space.
Is there some kind of modular slimline power system out there? Even if I have to rewire all the power leads.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Hi. Just got back from Argos and bought a 12 way tower and picked up your reply. Obviously the only real option for me.

You used to be able to get four-way I thought they were IEC but actually they were much smaller even than this IEC four-way block.
That though was in the day before mandatory fitment of UK 13A plugs to all electrical equipment and disuading people from changing plugs.
