First Ever: Line splitter accessory (for clamp meter) designed for EU, this become available from a Polish firm three years ago.
Product design was simple, regular Line splitter plastic body and two Schuko plugs (male & female) at its side.
This September 2017, something new shown by an Italian firm, their offering this is a larger in length product, design in mind, this is at making it more multi-functional.
While new product design this is electrically correct, and among new additions there is safer banana plugs them helping in voltage measurements, the length of the accessory this is now longer, and practically this does not aloud connectivity to mains with out using Schuko plugs and extension cables at its side.
The concept of Line splitter this be a hanger for clamp meter it self, this is sacrificed according to this new Italian product design.
Currently it is unknown any pricing information about this product.
Acceptance of this product by the market, this is also unknown yet.

At my own DE-10ALS AC Line Splitter (http://www.ittsb.eu/forum/index.php?topic=483.0) I did succeed by the use of Mains plugs adapters and one side this is able to connect directly to Schuko or regular (Low wattage) wall Mains plugs.
My own work around it did work, all parts in use they are in compliance with electrical standards.
Speaking of compliance to electrical standards, this is something which it does add cost at the firm whom acts as distributor of a new product.
Additional bourbon it is transferred in the end at retail product price.
Either way in case that balance of wisely priced product this is lost, then alternative solutions available in the market them will take it place.
