1. Product Description
The TXB-5K-F is a heavy-duty, weather-protected extension socket with switch built for outdoor and industrial environments where ordinary white strips would not survive. Engineered by Zhejiang Shuangyang Group (Soyang), this black impact-resistant strip carries French (NF) outlets under bright yellow spring-loaded flip lids and one illuminated orange switch, so a row of tools or garden appliances can be powered and controlled in the rain or dust. The “-F” version arrives with a fixed short lead (minimum 1.4 m) ready to connect to your own supply.

4. Materials & Finish
The TXB-5K-F uses a tough black engineering-plastic housing that resists impact, oil, grease and UV exposure, so it keeps its shape and colour on a busy workshop wall or outdoor bench. The bright yellow flip lids are moulded from flexible, weather-resistant plastic with a strong spring hinge that snaps closed firmly over each French socket. Internally, high-conductivity copper conductors and nickel-plated clips maintain a safe earth connection, while the flexible rubber lead stays pliable in cold weather.
