Overview
The GE 51954 is a 12 foot indoor extension cord ending in a 3-outlet power strip, with a 2-prong plug, 16 gauge cable, and twist-to-close covers on each outlet, UL listed for home, office or kitchen use.
The main feature here is the Tamper Guard rotary covers, which twist closed over unused outlets to reduce the risk of accidental shock, useful in a kitchen or a home with kids. It's rated for 13A, 125VAC and 1625W maximum, and GE backs it with a limited lifetime replacement policy. Being a 2-prong cord, it's meant for ungrounded electronics rather than anything requiring a ground pin.

Who it's for
Good for turning one indoor outlet into three for lamps, chargers, small kitchen appliances or office electronics. Not suited to outdoor use or to equipment that needs a grounded 3-prong connection.
Pros and cons
- Turns one outlet into three
- Twist-to-close covers on unused outlets
- UL listed with a limited lifetime replacement policy
- 2-prong only, no ground pin
- Indoor use only
- 12 foot cord is short for reaching distant outlets
Performance notes
Each unused outlet on the strip has a rotary cover that must be twisted open before use, which is the core safety mechanism GE is selling here. The cord itself is a 16 gauge, 12 foot run rated to 1625 watts, and the whole unit is UL listed to that safety standard.
