zerkar RRRCable 3 Ft 360° Rotating Flat Plug Extension Cord/Wire, 16 AWG Multi 3 Outlet Extension Wire, 3 Prong Grounded Wire - White - UL Listed

Product Information

There are also multiple options for the plug itself. The standard version is designed for a vertical outlet, and the cord comes out of the bottom. However, there’s an alternate version for upside-down outlets, where the plug is inverted. If that’s not enough, there are also two variants with additional outlets. Both of these have two sets of prongs, which plug into both your top and bottom outlets. The cords can either come out of the top and bottom of the plate, or both from the bottom. Either way, you get two cords running from your outlet, each with three outlets on the end. While it’s a solid budget-friendly option for indoor use, this extension cord should not be used outdoors or with energy-intensive major appliances or power tools. However, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly cord for basic charging needs around the house, it’s worth consideration. Another concern is whether your cord supplies enough electricity to begin with. This is particularly problematic with flat cords, because thinner cords can deliver less power. A normal household outlet provides 15 amps of power. That can go up to 20 amps if you’ve got a 20-amp breaker and heavy gauge wiring. That said, most electronics don’t actually draw a full 15 amps. If they did, you could only run one device for each circuit breaker! Most PCs, for example, draw less than 4 amps of power. The only devices that draw 15 amps are power tools, space heaters, and other high-powered gadgets. The center is staffed and provides answers on Sundays through Thursdays between 07:00 AM and 14:00 PM and Fridays only handles distribution requests between 7:00 AM and 12:30 PM If you regularly use power tools, electric landscaping equipment, or need to power an appliance from a faraway outlet, an extension cord or two comes in handy. These useful accessories extend the range of your appliances and tools, eliminating frustrating power cord length and electrical outlet limitations.

Twelve-gauge cords are considered “heavy-duty,” and provide the power necessary for high-power items like table saws, chainsaws, and air compressors, even at longer lengths. You still get a solid 15 amps with a 100-foot cord. Extra Heavy-Duty Whether you’re dealing with minimal outlets in an apartment or need an outdoor connection for power tools, extension cords will come in handy time and again. When choosing a high-quality extension cord, it’s important to consider what you’ll use it for, as this will help determine what gauge to get. These 16-gauge cords have either two or three prongs, and are best suited for items that don’t require a ton of power. Two-pronged versions tend to be shorter, making them convenient to use with appliances that are located close to power outlets, like blenders or lamps. The length of your extension cord not only indicates how far it can reach, but also how much resistance is placed on the current flowing through it.You don’t need to worry about durability with the Southwire ​​12/3 SJEOW Polar/Solar Supreme Cold Weather Extension Cord with Lighted End. The 100-foot extension cord is designed to handle extremely cold and hot temperatures—as low as negative 76 degrees and as high as 221 degrees Fahrenheit, making it an excellent outdoor option for extreme climates. (You can also snag it in 25-foot and 50-foot lengths.) It features a durable, insulated housing that keeps the cord flexible despite the cold and is also chemical and oil resistant.

But suppose you want to run a whole lot of low-powered devices? Is there a way to get even more outlets? If that’s what you need, take a look at the BESTEK Power Strip Tower. It’s big and bulky, but it has eight power outlets, along with multiple USB charging ports. As a homeowner, you probably have a lot of electrically-powered devices. You have kitchen appliances, TVs, and probably a game console or two. You need to run your work computer, as well as your tablet, and you also have to charge your phone. Point being, no matter how many power outlets there are in your house, you probably want more. This can be particularly irritating if you live in an older house, without a ton of outlets. Even if you have plenty of outlets, there’s often not an outlet where you need it. Instead, your outlet might be behind a couch, or under a table, or around the corner. In those cases, you need a good extension cord.For international customers: The center is staffed and provides answers on Sundays through Thursdays between 7AM and 14PM Israel time Toll window, document, "script", "https://95662602.adoric-om.com/adoric.js", "Adoric_Script", "adoric","9cc40a7455aa779b8031bd738f77ccf1", "data-key"); Extension cords are useful to have around the house, especially when faced with minimal outlets. However, many extension cords only come with one or two outlets. If you’re in need of a way to plug in multiple devices from a distance, consider the Cordinate Designer 3-Outlet Power Strip With Surge Protection. Fourteen-gauge cords are usually the most common, and are compatible with a wide range of equipment, including larger tools like router and belt sanders, as well as outdoor power equipment like lawn mowers.
