A three-pin plug on the back goes directly into a standard wall socket, with no cord to tidy. Switched's terms say to use it in an earthed wall socket, not in a multiplug or another adaptor.

The plug face is marked 16A 250V. A fibre box and a router together draw a small part of that, so the adaptor has plenty of room for the job.

A Surge Protector On light on the face of the adaptor shows the protection is active, and both sockets are shuttered against accidental contact.

No. It has two sockets, a surge indicator light and safety shutters, nothing else, so a router cannot be switched off by accident.
Semi-transparent red, so it is easy to tell apart from a plain adaptor behind the router.
