3 extra twin sockets on a single spur (Read 2192 times)

Jackofall GDPR opt-out	3 extra twin sockets on a single spur Jan 24^th, 2015, 7:18pm Hi guys. I am looking at running 3 double sockets on a single spur from an existing ring socket. I know this cant be done (limit of one) but with a 13A FCU straight after the ring socket would this be ok? Basically as per attached pic. I will be running a tv, and audio/hifi equipment from these. Would this work?

You could have three cables in the socket below the TV, rather looping up and down to the TV

Many Thanks.
