- Compact Design: Fits more easily behind furniture or into tighter spaces than bulkier power boards.
- White Finish: Blends neatly with most home and office decor for a less obtrusive look.

- 1 Year Manufacturer's Warranty: Provides basic purchase reassurance for everyday use.
Q: Can all six outlets be used at the same time?
A: Yes. Jackson PT5966 can power all six outlets at once if the combined load stays within the board's electrical rating. It suits several everyday devices in one spot, but avoid connecting equipment that would push the total load too high.
Q: Will surge protection replace a dedicated UPS or specialised power filter?
A: No. The built-in surge protection helps reduce damage from short power spikes, but it is not the same as battery backup or specialised power conditioning. It is better suited to everyday home and office electronics than backup-critical gear.
Q: Are there USB ports for charging phones without an adaptor?
A: No. Jackson PT5966 is a standard powerboard with six AC outlets and no built-in USB charging. Phones and tablets can still be charged by plugging in their normal wall charger, but direct USB connection is not available.
Q: Is it suitable for a TV, soundbar and game console setup?
A: Yes. Jackson PT5966 suits entertainment setups where several everyday devices need one outlet area, such as a TV, soundbar and console. Check that the combined load of everything plugged in stays within the board's rating.
Q: Can bulky plug packs fit without blocking all the other sockets?
A: Jackson PT5966 includes socket spacing aimed at making room for larger plug packs. Fit still depends on the shape of each adaptor, so very wide chargers can still overlap a neighbouring outlet on any six-outlet board.
Q: Does the master switch turn every connected device off?
A: Yes. The on-board master switch controls power to the entire board, so connected devices can be switched off together at the board. It is useful when several items share one outlet and you want one control point.
