Just an update. The mains extension is perfectly fine, and still running off a 13 amp fuse.

I .5mm is the maximum cable size, that both the plug, and the trailing socket will accommodate. I would have preferred using 2.5mm. I am not aware of any mains plugs that can accept a cable of that gauge. For hifi use, it has caused me no problems at all.
