Hi,

I rented a house and my working room only have 2 socket plugs.

One socket connected to ups and connect all my pc, unifi, monitor, printer etc (all 8 ports at my belkin used up)
and another socket connect to my aircond ...

is there a way for me to add more socket without the need to drill etc or minimize the actual structual?
because of this .. i cannot use my broadband power line because it is not working if ups in between ..

+ i dont like the idea to connect aircond to extension cord ..


thank you in advance.

since u want to reserve the socket #2 for aircond, from socket #1 can use those adaport thing or you can DIY/buy one extension cord using REAL sockets like the old school days: NOT the chaplang one white power strip types cos they can cause intermittent connections

from socket #1: (1 to 3) - to split the UPS + add 1-2 extra sockets..

how many watts are you consuming already for the 13A socket? Better don't exceed 1500 Watt per socket, or else the plug will heat up if you use it continuously for long hours. Don't know what will happen if it is overheating continuously.

the proper way of adding more wall socket is pull a new line from the existing fuse box that has the least load.

anyway, if your house has 3 phase power, it is possible that you are unable to use broadband over powerline.
