An extension board or power strip comprises multiple sockets connected independently to a flexible power cable and encased in a shockproof plastic shell. It draws power from the wall sockets and distributes it amongst devices connected to these multiple sockets. Extension boards can vary in design, with features like individual switches and LED indicators indicating which socket is currently used. The salient feature of extension boards is that they distribute power equally amongst the connected devices. This allows all devices to function flawlessly and is achieved by connecting the individual sockets in parallel to each other.
