Anyone know of a good extension cable/trailing socket that includes
usb sockets as well as 3 pin electrical sockets? Thanks.

What are the USB sockets connected to?
or is this just for 5V power?

Max length of a USB cable is only a few metres (5, I think)
before the data signal degrades too much.
You can get longer by daisy-chaining hubs, and there are
USB extension leads which consist of a 1-port hub with a 5m
lead.

I thought it could be used for charging things like mobile phone,
spare battery and stuff like that. Maybe not a good idea though.
Thanks for the info.
