Default Is this Electrically Acceptable?

Hi all

I am looking at broadband and one or two other bits and pieces.
In the loft I have 2 3A switched fused spurs off the upstairs lighting
circuit.

I am likely to need 3/4 supplies up the
Network switch
Router/modem
TV splitter
A N Other

Will one 3A feed supply two of these?


it would supply all of them and more

If so, can I hard wire a 2 gang extension into each of the spurs and label
them clearly "for ???? use only"?


can, yes, but should, not really. If you use a non-standard plug/socket
type you'll be ok in the 'should' dept as well as the works fine dept.

Surely if someone tried to plug a kettle in(?) anyway, it would simply
result in a blown fuse?


fuses blow at way above their rated carrying current.
