Smart plugs with multiple sockets

Several sockets

In sockets, the number of sockets usually does not exceed 2, however, such paired models can have independent power management for each socket — as a result, one socket actually replaces two (although this feature should be specified separately. In extension cords, the number of sockets can reach 6.
